24 Ways

Christmas is but twenty sleeps away. That means it’s already Day Four of 24 Ways! We’ve already heard from FOWD Belfast Speaker Mr Drew Mclellend, Mr Remy Sharp, Build attendee, Ms Inayaili de León and the ‘Terry Wogan of the web’, Mr Paul Boag. I’m already looking forward to seeing what’s in store tomorrow! Jam-packed articles containing expert advice, knowledge and all-round Christmas cheer will coming our way for the foreseeable future. Yay!

My ¶ URL ABC

Last week, Tim Van Damme singlehandedly managed to bring worldwide procrastination levels to new peaks with his URL ABC ‘game’. I’ve been resisting the temptation to take part myself. Needless to say I’ve subsided. Damn you Van Damme, Damn you.

A simple game: Go to the address bar in your favorite browser, and type one letter. Start with “a”, end with “z”.
