As part of something I was doing today, I needed to check a load of URLs to see if they ended up as 404 (error) pages, were redirected (301 or 302), whether the page was fine, or if the URL was invalid.

Apple have announced their second quarter financial results and shown a massive 94% profit increase, year-on-year. Whichever way you look at it, that’s impressive. Revenues of $34.2 billion and a net profit margin of $11.6 billion are impressive numbers for any business. Most would be happy with revenues of...
Okay, so I am a little late to this party, with the Windows 8 community preview having been around for a while now, but as a techie I think I should at least have a go and see what it is like. After all I do like games and might need to install Windows again at some point.

At University I was taught to use XHTML, other articles suggest using HTML, and then there’s the need to figure out whether to go with transitional or strict.

The US Navy’s latest and greatest nuclear submarine is out on its test voyage in the pacific ocean when the underwater terrain changes and the sea bed rises in places which are not on their charts. When the captain has a look out, he notices a mysterious fog patch in a place where, logically, there should not be...
I’ve re-formatted my PC over the weekend in order to get rid of the old useless applications I had on there, and so I could give the new beta version of Ubuntu a go. Normally I would have bolted Gnome 3 straight on and ignored Unity, as I don’t like it in 11.10. My initial thoughts on it are that Unity is...
