When I started this Blog I never really wanted to get involved in writing about Blog’s. You may find this ironic, but I detest the Blog. Six times out of ten Blog’s are full of opinionated shit that people use to back-up their own opinions. One only has to check the Digg website to see [...]

Over the past couple of years I have been involved with running many forums, from small forums to gigantic forums housing thousands of users. These were never business opportunities, only activities for fun because I enjoyed the communities I worked with. Still, over my time working with forums I was able to learn a lot [...]

Design Contests are a hotly debated subject at the moment. On one side you have designers that feel they are losing out on worthwhile business to cheap contests on websites and forums, and on the other side you have designers that either earn their living through these contests, or use them as a testing ground [...]

Both Computer Science and Software Engineering are fantastic subjects that deserve credit for the research and output they’ve delivered to our world. These fields have brought us countless applications that we use on an hourly basis throughout our lives, and they now branch out and take on different approaches to further improve our lives in [...]

Clone websites of YouTube and Digg appear every [...]

For some reason at this point in time there are thousands of people looking to work for themselves over the Internet, whether they consider themselves designers, developers, entrepreneurs or enthusiasts. These people strive to work for themselves or in small teams in an environment where work is not a chore, but somewhere you look forward [...]

If you’ve arrived at this page I’m guessing that you’re not a designer, but someone who is interested in learning how to design, whether you want to create web pages, graphics, traditional digital art, etc. Whenever anyone starts something they know nothing about the first question that looms over their head is “Can I become [...]

There is an age-old question when it comes to attending an interview for a programmer/developer post at any company, and it is:
“What do I bring with me?”
I had the pleasure of being asked this the other day by a friend of a friend. He was about to graduate Computer Science and was shopping around for [...]

Artificial Intelligence is a vastly important field in Computer Science today. It’s also one of the few fields that gives and receives knowledge from other fields, such as maths, biology, psychology, sociology and other social sciences.
