Mick's World

Over the last few months i’ve noticed quite a few referrals from a variety of different forums that i haven’t visited or posted on before.

That’s not the issue though. When i visit the forums to see what’s being discussed to refer to my site i find that someone on the forum named Mick is claiming this site as their own. That’s wrong for many reasons.

The first time it happened i turned a blind eye, the next time i contacted the forum admin and they assured me that it was just a mistake as the user claiming micksworld.com actually had micksworld.co.uk.

Even though i think there’s enough key strokes between ‘m‘ and ‘.uk‘, they didn’t seem to pick up on it. Fine, mistakes are made.

Since then there have been an increasing number of visits from a member of various forums named Mick, not just displaying the link in his sig, but saying, “check out my site micksworld.com”. How can you make that many typos?

It’s not that i mind people visiting from the forums, i just don’t want it to be under false pretense.

Anyway, if you have been referred here by that guy, let him know that he’s typing the wrong address each time.

If he’s doing it intentionally and he’s trying to claim it as his own, check the specs. I’m sure his profile will be different to mine.

Well the time has come where The Show with Zefrank is coming to an end. All good things must come to an end, but it’s sad to see such a great source of daily entertainment/news/info/comedy/awesomeness & duckies finish in what seems to be so soon after it started.

With Ze completing his internship into the League of Awesomeness it’s definitely going to leave a void in the daily life so many people.

Having a lack of urgency in the past, now multiplied by the ending of the show i decided i’d by some meaningless products to show my appreciation for a great year that was The Show, but to also sport some little duckies and the Sports Racers symbolism.

I didn’t get to send in a 15 second video like many others, but i’d like to say, Ze i’ll miss the show. Thanks for a great year.

I really enjoy reading entries on OreoCEO when Scrivs is pissed. The latest post of this ‘venting’, titled Martin Neumann Needs A Hug is hilarious.

Always an entertaining read, this one in particular. Sticking up for a mate and at the same time sticking it to someone that probably deserves it.

Here’s a funny quote from the post:

Anyways, let me show you how this game will go down. You have your new link from my little personal site on Technorati. You will probably get an erection from it because some action is finally happening for you. In any case, some people might talk about how a founder of 9rules acted improper towards a fellow blogger or some other shit and then it will be forgotten and that stuff the dufus is working on will continue to thrive while you will search for your next erection some place else.

So i haven’t posted for a while, but i had to mention something about the new version of 9rules, codenamed Ali.

First thing i noticed was the updated header. After looking around i noticed much more than that, and at first glance there were a couple of parts that i wasn’t too sure about. But after having a good look around i was quite surprised and i think a Homer quote would best sum it up, “Sweet, sweet candy”.

Well it’s the first of December. Summer is officially in, though it’s felt like it for the last few days.

Being December it also means that 24 ways will be back with a new set of tips each day leading up to Christmas. I really enjoyed checking it out every day last year and learning some great tips, but also having an enjoyable read.

So if you want to brush up on a few things or just learn some new skills check out 24ways.org and subscribe to their feed. Looking forward to seeing what they share this year.
