Ebuyer – maxing out the result limit

This might be useful to someone, somewhere, out there. Those who’re into tinkering with things they shouldn’t will notice that Ebuyer’s search pages include a “limit” GET variable in the results page URL.

Cloud-Bible progress

Two blogs in one weekend. Impressive for me! I’ve made a lot of progress with the Cloud-Bible project (the name is growing on me, slowly).

The past, present and future

Well, things have finally moved on. Apparently somewhere, myself and Wonga were trying to meet half way, and consistently missing.  But fortunately that’s no longer the case.
