Just for fun this week I have decided to start streaming my normal game sessions. Why? Well it’s more of something to do because I love playing with the software and hardware. It’s not about trying to get attention or thousands of viewers, even though that would be an awesome experience. Everything is streamed using Open Broadcaster Software. It is very … Read More

Well the last year has been crazy. Half of my client sites were effected by the Revolution Slider vulnerability. Open Realty was also hacked.

Hopefully the search engines will pick the title up very nicely. I don’t really have an Apple product called “iMac Mini” even if that is a nice name.
