Geek & Nerd T-Shirts!
People often ask me where I get my shirts, since I'm almost always wearing something aimed at geeks, nerds or gamers to cover my torso. Usually I don't remember because I get them from all over the place, including eBay sometimes, but the best stores can sometimes be hard to find as it's a pretty big market on the internet. So here's a list of my favourites, please leave a comment if you want your store listed and I'll check it out first (no cafepress / spreadshirt shops please, just propper stores). If I like it, I'll add it to the list and probably buy something at the same time 
iPad & iPhone Printable PDF Templates
I've been scribbling in a notebook for a while now about various iphone ideas, and recently started sketching a few ipad apps as well and thought "I should make some templates that are about the same physical size as these devices so I can sketch the UI more effectively".
Turns out there's other people who thought the same thing, and already made them freely available! Thanks very much guys! You can grab them through the links below;

UPDATE:
Andrew just sent me this link to the Pixel Pad - the organic version of the iPad - nice idea!
Gaming Nostalgia
Since I quit WoW again a few months ago, I've been spending a lot of that now-spare time buying way too many games on Steam and playing them start to finish. At the moment I'm deep into Mass Effect 2 and loving it, but it's making me feel nostalgic for some of my other all-time favourite and best built games. It's too early to call ME2 a favourite, but I'm definately enjoying it and despite not having a 'jump' function, it's got a really good control style both in and out of the ship.
One of the games I'm nostalgic about is an old one from 2001 called Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos. It'll always stand out as the best space-piracy game I think I'll ever play, with very easy and intuitive controls and a nice semi-sandbox feel to is that you really need in any open space game. You really had to size up the convoy of ships before you attacked and took their cargo pods, and with the space-police and other mercinary escorts around you had to be smart and quick with the controls. I forget most of the story now, but I remember it being pretty great.
Not many people have played it, or even heard of it, so it's also one of those little gaming gems that never makes it onto any lists or into many reviews. I just wish I could buy it on Steam.

Upgrading Mootools in Joomla 1.5
I had to figure out how to upgrade Mootools from Joomla 1.5's default, horribly outdated 1.11 to 1.2 in order to use some funky scripts in a new client template today, and after a bit of stress and searching I found this:
http://www.dwightjack.com/diary/2009/02/23/upgrade-mootools-to-v12x-in-joomla-15/
It seems that the admin dropdown menu's stop working if you just overwrite the old Mootools files, so Dwight has come up with a quick and easy frontend solution to keep the admin section loading 1.11 and allow the template to load 1.2 instead!
Thanks Dwight!
Wordspinner Updated
I spent a bit of time yesterday rolling out a new version of Wordspinner for WordPress. Nothing much really, but now it comes with a widget that you can use to add spinnable text to sidebars without having to make a change to the wordpress text widget manually.

Trying some new themes
I'm busy with my business at the moment, but I thought it was about time I spruced up the site.
New wordpress makes it so easy... I think it took 10 minutes for me to find a theme and install it, didn't even have to touch any files directly or do anything via ftp!
