Hi, I’m Kev and this is my corner of the web — part blog, part soapbox. You’ll find tech experiments, the occasional rant, and more than a few opinions that are probably wrong (but fun to argue about). Have a wander, you might find something interesting.
Ok then, now we’re on to the serious stuff. I have managed to sucessfully get rid of the easier stuff, like Google Search & Chrome and Google Analytics, but now I’m starting to look at the Google services that have a larger impact on my daily workflow.

Didn’t you know? I’m De-Googling my life and I’ve already spoken about replacing my search engine & browser, so now we’re on to the next step – replacing Google Analytics.

So my de-Googling adventure begins, and I thought I would start with some of the more simple stuff to replace – yes, I know, it’s a cop-out, but I’m trying to change habits of the last decade here, so I’m easing myself in.

I love Google products. They’re easy to use, they look good, and for the most part, they work really well. I was having a conversation with a friend the other day, and we were talking about what would happen if Google closed their doors tomorrow. I quickly realised that I would be in a world of pain.

If you're thinking about starting a blog, here's a few things to consider before doing so.

I decided recently that I wanted to start blogging again. Not in a paid capacity (like I did for MakeUseOf), but rather just some meandering thoughts on a personal blog. That way, I don’t have an editor to please, and I can publish whatever I like.

We all know that password managers are worth their weight in gold, and the most popular of these by a large margin, is LastPass. LastPass is great, I used it myself for a number of years, but it is fairly expensive since doubling their prices in 2017. So are there any decent, open source alternatives to LastPass?

Around a week ago I wrote a rare Facebook post and decided to share it with my friends on Facebook. I deliberately posted this in such a way to see if I can find out how to get Facebook passwords from my friends. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting a great deal of success from the post, but boy was I wrong!

Whilst doing my usual rounds of nerdy articles on the Internet yesterday, I came across some news that apparently there’s going to be a Sony and Xbox DDOS attack this Christmas. The “hacker group” that are claiming responsibility for this attack are going by the name of “Phantom Squad”.
