For those who know me from my professional life (I'm a Chartered Engineer), know what a complete filing freak I am. All graduates that have helped me out, or ...

Although not an immense milestone by most blogs estimation (especially the professional blogs which pay you by the post), I think 1300 posts on 'Kode is a significant achievement to ...

Gummisig - One of the best looking blog/websites I've seen in a good long time. It's the combination of the colours, gridlines, and big bad bold type that does it ...

It's been nearly 4 1/2 years since comments were officially not part of this site. Back then it was because I couldn't actually host them on my own site, until ...

OokahBlog - Pascale's blog, who's in my art class (which sadly ends tomorrow evening). So much work seems to go into any one post, but some how it's a pretty ...

FAIL Blog - Easily one of my favourite websites at the moment. The humour just appeals to me on such a base level, and the word FAIL is just the ...

New stopdesign - I love it when classics get a bit of a reboot. Simple yet elegant design.

TweetBacks - Great little plugin for WordPress (that will hopefully be making it's way over to Habari) that bring Tweetbacks. Think of them as trackbacks only made of tweets.

Owen touched up on something about the length of blog posts. As I read his 3 paragraphs I think he's definitely correct about the length of post that I enjoy ...

The problem is that 2008 lacked focus for these areas, so it's time to provide them with a slight bit of structure. I doubt I'll be able to meet these ...

5 years ago today, I sat in my room and decided to start blogging, and what an amazing 5 years it's been - here's to many more years of online ...

Broken Kode has finally reached the 1000 posts milestone. It's taken nearly 5 years to get to this stage (I'll be celebrating 5 years of the 'Kode in January) and ...

Clearly I've gotten back into blogging again, October 2008 was a bit of a record in that I posted on this site 52 times. What's even more amusing is that ...

Or so Paul Boutin will lead you to believe from the latest issue of Wired. In what is clearly blog-bait, Paul does raise some interesting points although I don't think ...

There is definitely something to be said about a slow burning design. At least from where I'm sitting. I started redesigning the 'Kode last week but the deal I made ...

Interesting 9rules case study. My favourite part is 'And as good bloggers do, they blogged on why they left 9rules.'
