Cool New Blue TwisterMc.com Design

  • 27 Jan, 2009

After months of work, the new TwisterMc.com design is live! Little things have been changing over the past week or so, like the new favicon, but the button has been pushed and doesn’t the new design look good?  If you find any issues, let me know.  I’m eager to have it looking it’s best for […]

4 Extensions to Speed Up Firefox on Slow Connections

  • 12 Nov, 2008

As the web continues to evolve, and more and more people are empowered to create their own sites, there is little to no concern for those on slower connections. It’s been said that 10% of U.S. households still use dial-up internet to access the web.  This could be due to the lack of high speed […]

My First Plurk Theme

  • 27 Jul, 2008

A few days ago Plurk came out with the ability to customize your profile with your own CSS code.  I put my skills to work and created my first Plurk theme! It’s a bit darker, to match my website, and comes with rounded boxes, a unified timeline and colors that pop. You can get a […]

Fastest Mac Browser Test: Firefox 2, 3 and Safari

  • 12 Apr, 2008

Have you checked out Dromaeo.com?  It’s a Mozilla owned site that runs a set of JavaScripts and test out how fast your browser is.  I tried it on my iMac, 1.83 Intel Core Duo with 1.5 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, and found Firefox 3 beta 5 to be the fastest browser.  Oddly enough, Firefox […]

Weekend Update: Firefox 3, TV, Software and More

  • 2 Mar, 2008

I thought I’d write a random post with some of what’s on my mind this weekend. I’m now running Firefox 3 betas thanks to MultiFireFox. MidnightFox was updated the other day with incorrect buttons.  Oops.  That has been re-uploaded and should be made public soon. yExplore and GA? have been updated for Firefox 3. Actually, […]

Is GIMP cool or lame?

  • 30 Oct, 2007

I’m a big fan of open source, or alternative, software. I’m not a fan of paying hundreds of dollars for an application. Needless to say I’m not a big fan of Microsoft or Adobe. So what’s a good open source graphic design application? I’ve tried a lot of programs and now I’m looking at GIMP. […]

I love & hate CSS.

  • 4 Sep, 2007

I love CSS, but yet I hate it to. For some reason, the same code can’t work in all browsers. And I’m not just complaining about the non-standards compliant Internet Explorer (all versions) but I’m finding minor differences in different versions of Firefox. How is that possible?!! Getting everything to line up just seems to […]

Is Google Analytics Installed? – GA? Firefox Extension

  • 14 Aug, 2007

  To get the best results out of Google Analytics, you need to ensure it’s installed on each page of a website. To automatically check for you, I’ve created a Firefox extension to do all the work. GA? will put a little icon in the status bar of your Firefox web browser. It will then […]

7 Stats Programs For Your Blog or Website

  • 10 Jul, 2007

I’ve been testing and testing site stats ever since Mint 2 came out. I didn’t really want to pay for the upgrade so I ran though a few different services and put them though the tests. I was looking for a quick way to access my visitor stats and in the end, Mint is the […]
