I am slowly chipping away at the work that needs doing on Thought Pixels. I haven’t been much in the mood to write content or fiddle with updates/design/code recently, but the latter at least is slowly coming together.
Last night I was looking at my old install of Scuttle over on thekatshiskers.com domain, and decided it was about time I moved it over and upgraded. Well, I did the latter but haven’t bothered moving the old database over, I thought I’d start from scratch. Nothing like a good clear out now and again. Now all I need do is play around with the design a little. I’m not bothered about complete site integration, but I’m not too keen on the default look (too much green for a start).
So I got that done, and then by some coincidence today spotted a post over at Weblog Tools Collection which pointed to a ‘review’ of Scuttle over here. I hope nobody takes even the slightest bit of notice of this ‘review’, it’s obvious to anyone that has used Scuttle that the poster has no idea what he’s talking about. He compares Scuttle to social bookmarking services such as del.icio.us, when in fact Scuttle is something totally different. The big difference being that Scuttle is a free self-hosted php/mysql application. Which means that you are in control of your bookmarks and data, rather than some big name on the web. People really should research things better before they decide to berate them.
Incidentally, my installation of Scuttle lives here, and if you want to grab your own copy, you can get Scuttle here. There’s also a nice Firefox extension that makes posting to your own (or somebody else’s) Scuttle easier.
