Seth posted a request for people to send pictures of themselves for the cover of his next book. What a genius idea! So sure enough, I whipped off a headshot. You never know, I might be immortalised in print!
Which begs the question, will I have to buy the book to find out? Is that part [...]

I might be on Seth’s book!
I finally joined Flickr
Somewhat begrudgingly, I have finally joined flickr. I was delighted to discover that I got the url flickr.com/photos/chmac – my usual username. It’s somewhat confusing, I log into flickr with my yahoo account callum_macdonald then my flickr username is callummacdonald (no underscore) and my url is chmac. Oh well, the chmac part is the important [...]
Risen to Number 2
In a scroogle search for “Callum” I have risen from the mirky depths of around 15 to second place! For the past few weeks I’ve been on a concerted effort to litter the web with my calling card as simply “Callum” instead of my full name. The aim was to increase my exposure to the [...]
WP Mail SMTP v0.3
A few people reported problems with the WP Mail SMTP plugin. I’ve resolved a few bugs and added a new feature that allows you to set the From name and email address of all mail sent by the wp_mail() function. I’ve thoroughly tested this version (unlike previous versions, oops!) and I’ve released it for immediate [...]

Affiliate Revenue Sharing
A friend recently told me about rakeback poker sites. When you play poker, you pay a small fee to the casino for the use of the table, this is called a rake. If I introduce you to Poker Website X, they will pay me a percentage of your rake. The latest affiliates offer to share [...]
Ocean’s Thirteen
I saw Ocean’s Thirteen this evening. If I had to summarise the film in one word it would be “predictable”. I don’t want to say it wasn’t a good movie, because I enjoyed it, but it was nothing compared to the first two. There was nothing unexpected about the whole film. The idea is great, [...]
Goodbye Broadband
Today I’m leaving Rena’s kind hospitality and heading back to stay in an apartment devoid of internet access. Back to the daily commute to and from the cyber universe. Alas, this game must begin again. But only for another three weeks or so…
I’ve Been Fired!
This morning I woke up to find an email in my inbox telling me that my volunteer services are no longer required by CouchSurfing.
Apparently I have “fundamental differences in ideology and communication styles”. I’ve asked for clarification on that, fundamentally different from whom. I’m not holding my breath for an answer!
One thing was stated clearly [...]

Review: Shooter
I saw Shooter (new window) last night. Overall, I thought it was a great movie. It’s a typical action / thriller / conspiracy film, some interesting plot turns. There’s a great scene where the dog gets him a beer from the fridge, almost makes me think about getting a dog!
It’s not a clever [...]
Birthdays in Bangkok
I celebrated my second consecutive birthday in Bangkok yesterday. As is my usual custom, I took the day off work and instead attended to a few personal administration issues. First on the agenda, it was getting very out of control…
Then I wandered by Lumpini Park for a little jaunt in the swan shaped pedal boats. [...]
