There is no doubt that website uptime and general performance is important for anybody who heavily replies on keeping their websites up and running. For a long time, Pingdom has earned my trust as being one of the most reliable website performance monitoring tools to recommend. However, it might be time to throw one more suggestion your way – blamestella.com.

Website Speed Monitoring with Stella
How to Disable WordPress Admin Bar
I have just started to play with WordPress 3.1 today. One of the biggest updates that people will either love, or love to hate is the new admin bar that is displayed across the top of your website when you are logged in. It gives you quick and easy access to some of the most popular administrator features of WordPress. What if you do not like it? There is a pretty simple way to disable it from showing up.
Foobar2000
I am really out of the loop when it comes to programs that play music. Sure, you could use Windows Media Player if you are a Windows users like me. It isn’t that bad. However, I was looking for something a little more lightweight. So, what free audio player did I end up turning to? Foobar2000.
Tetris Powered by HTML5
Want to take a look at what HTML5 can do? Not only is it able to give us slicker user interfaces and more tools when it comes to setting up websites, it can also be used to develop really awesome Tetris clones. Ok, Torus might be a little ‘bit more than your average Tetris clone because it sports a nifty 3D interface.

Creeper Wallpaper #2
Still mining away my free time in Minecraft here. If you haven’t checked it out, you really do not know what you are missing. The game is really addictive and be warned, will suck up all the free time you have. To feed my Minecraft need while I can’t play, I thought I would find another wallpaper to keep me entertained. The Minecraft Creeper Wallpaper by Rob-Fox at Deviant Art does just that. The creeper is there to remind me to get back to work – or he might just blow a chunk out of my desk and myself.
Catch Mitch at The Hosting News
Within the last couple of weeks, I have taken a new writing job over at The Hosting News. This is a little ‘bit different beat that my usual posts I write because I am doing news coverage for them rather than opinion or tutorial based content.
Gallery of Other People’s Desks
It might sound a little strange to say it out loud, but I like to see pictures of other people’s desks. Thankfully though, this is the Internet – where people have other odd traits like odd obsessions with furry anime characters – so when you stop and think about it, checking out other people’s desk setups might not be that odd. Deskography is a website dedicated to showing the world where you work and has tons of interesting desktop setups that might even inspire you to change your own corner nook around a little ‘bit.
Split Testing in WordPress
Searching around through the WordPress plugins page – I was looking for an easy way to do split testing in this popular blogging platform. While it does not seem anybody has invented the perfect solution, I did run across several plugins that almost get the job done.
Super Nintendo Retro Review
Here recently I have been playing games like it the mid-90s all over again. How? Well, I thought it was about time I bought myself a replacement Super Nintendo. My old SNES bit the dust the last time I tried plugging it in (it served me well) so this time I picked up one of the newer models – well as new as a system built in 1997 can be.
