3 Blogging Clients Tested

I’m currently testing a number of blogging clients. Clients that free you from the web browser for post writing and editing. This is a post written in and posted via Zoundry Raven. Among the many blogging clients available, I’ve selected three for closer inspection: the aforementioned Raven, BlogDesk and Scribefire. The last one is an [...]

Must Have Books and Music in the Streamhead Store

In the spirit of cleaning up some of my older projects, I’ve completely overhauled my little Amazon store and added an entirely new category. I know this sounds like a commercial message and yes, I will earn a small commission if you order anything, but the store is something I take seriously. I only offer [...]

Streamhead now available through MailChimp

I’ve recently switched to MailChimp for email delivery of the new posts. MailChimp describes itself as an email marketing tool.

Now that my new office is starting to come together, I have begun research into ways of storing all my files in a central location on the network. This has several advantages: they can be used from every device that is connected to my home network and I only have to backup one device. What I [...]

Two Ways to Sell on the Internet

I see and adore many hobby webloggers and entrepreneurs on the Internet. People like Robert at Flight 404, who create the most amazing things. Following them and their stories, like Nathan at Coderspiel, you’re tempted to believe that this is what they do. This is how they live. But sometimes that spell is broken and [...]

Time Managing the Pile of Shame

The pile of shame might be unknown to you, but it seems like more and more people write about theirs. It is a pile of stuff (usually computer games) that you bought, but never played for more then a few minutes. Lately my pile is getting to monstrous sizes. I have many top games lying around, [...]
