War on Drugs: Have the Hippies Won?
» ‎ Inari Media

"The prohibition paradigm that inspires mainstream global drug policy today is based on a false premise: that global drug markets can be eradicated." So, have the hippies won?

Your Freedom of Speech Ends Where Your Paycheck Begins
» ‎ Inari Media

Do you have freedom of speech? Of course you do! And can you exercise it? Of course you can! But does that mean you can't be fired from your job? Sorry, no.

Travel, Tourism and Terrorism
» ‎ Inari Media

The UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office has just issued a travel alert for Nairobi, advising Brits to beware of the increased risks of terror attacks in the city. When I heard, my thoughts immediately jumped to how this might affect Kenya's tourism industry, dependent as it is on foreign travellers and their hard currency.

From Nigeria's Department of Entirely Predictable Consequences, it turns out that if you remove a fuel subsidy overnight, people get a little upset!

Is the African Diaspora too American?

Is It Time to Panic Yet?

Is the global economy doomed? The IMF believe so, unless our political leaders pull their fingers out.

Kenyan Politics: Boys’ Club?
» ‎ Inari Media

Just when I think that Kenyan politics can't let me down any more than it already has, our elected troglodytes manage to surpass themselves.

Free and Easy Tech Support (No, Really)!
» ‎ Inari Media

Before I started this blog, the place I considered to be my online “home” were the Guardian talkboards, Guardian Unlimited Talk (GUT). Then, in February, The Unpleasantness happened. I still haven’t completely forgiven them. Luckily, other members of GUT not only had wicked ninja-like coding skills, but also access to almost immediate hosting. Today, NotTheTalk [...]

Escaping the Experts
» ‎ Inari Media

Sooo… blog’s been quiet for a couple of months. I had to clear out cobwebs and a family of mice before I could get started with this post, so neglected had my little outpost become. I’d love to tell you that I was cruising the Caribbean on my yacht having sold my kidney genius business [...]

Whoosh! How to Stop Deadlines from Passing You By
» ‎ Inari Media

In the last few hours, I’ve realised that the four-day cushion I imagined I had for a particular deadline had been eroded. While I wasn’t paying attention, I had been RSVP’d for a yoga class, a book group, a wedding and a formal lunch. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem, but this time a) I [...]

Developers: Non-Americans Would Like to Try Your Apps Too
» ‎ Inari Media

So yesterday I heard about Craiggers, a website that displays Craiglist ads in a better and more useful format than the original site. Excellent! As is my wont, I thought I’d have a little bit of a play and a fiddle, and maybe mention it in a later blog post. Only I couldn’t. See, while [...]

Film Studios Getting Us to Do Their SEO for Them Now?
» ‎ Inari Media

The strangest thing happened to me last night. I was on the sofa, waiting for an ad break to end on television when something caught my eye: a trailer for a major film (I won’t say which one, I don’t want to give them the publicity they seek) implored viewers to “Google ‘[choice of search [...]

Kill Your Idols
» ‎ Inari Media

I read a lot. Currently, Google tells me that I am subscribed to almost 500 feeds. Then there are the email newsletters. The majority of these subscriptions are for current events and what I deem to be “techy stuff,” from hardcore programming developments to fluffy social media gossip. I read for advice, for interesting news, [...]

How to Make Your Blog Titles Twitter-Friendly
» ‎ Inari Media

I know what you’re thinking: “Stephanie has finally lost her fool mind and is trying to do SEO for 140 characters!” It’s not quite that bad (yet), but I think I have to address a couple of niggles that I have with how some people take their approach to publicising their blog content. So, have [...]

Beware the Awesome Might of Google Cache
» ‎ Inari Media

Recently, I have had cause to look for cached copies of various news articles on Google. It’s not that I think that the outfits involved are trying to hide something (though some are), I just want to see an article as it was originally written, rather than the smoothed-out offering that is presented once the [...]

But this is a public service announcement to let you know that there is a place where your questions and quibbles for all things tech can be dealt with. But first, the background.

Sometimes, “I Don’t Know” is the Best Possible Response
» ‎ Inari Media

As rescue and containment issues continue in the wake of the devastating Japanese earthquake and subsequent tsunami, news outlets have naturally been doing their best to keep their audience updated with the latest developments. Some, however, appear to have started complaining about the public briefings they are being given. The New York Times today refers [...]

How to Divorce a Website
» ‎ Inari Media

Have you ever realised that although you have been reading the same website for years, it has become stale and no longer amuses/educates/informs you? Do you ever get the feeling that the writers of a particular blog no longer care about you as a person, but just about the pageviews that your eyeballs bring? If [...]

How to Compete Against a Bigger Brand?
» ‎ Inari Media

The Guardian newspaper has just launched a European section. Jolly good, you might think; it’s good for UK readers to be informed of events on the continent. But I’ve been planning to launch a European news blog of my own! Really, I am. Bought the domain name, started the web design and everything. And now [...]

Everyone and their dog has a mobile phone these days, so why would you bother with a landline, right? With a mobile, you can be reached no matter where you are, pick up messages without having to go to the office and even manage some details of your business via the internet if you have [...]
