about the site

This is a glorified blog and we hope you will find something in the different headings to interest you.

The site is an Italian artistic coding masterpiece, and can be viewed on most browsers, on PCs and on mobile phones and PDA's.

Take us on the road with you and show the world what a good laugh you can have at least once a week with The Pisstakers.

It is free to read, comment and use everything on the site. There is plenty of varied content, no pop-ups, no spyware, no abuse of personal information. Just a fun uncluttered trip down a few satirical lanes.

Subscribe

ie keep up with the latest articles via RSS or email. Either way is easy and spam free and a simple process from the right side bar.

Refer a friend:

A simple click in the right side bar and you can email off the site address or a specific page to friends. Please let us know if you are referring people, because we are thinking of running a competition - with real prizes - for the top referrers, assuming it is what people are doing!

Search - To make sure you can find articles here, we have a Swiki cloud. This is a bunch of words for you to search and give you ideas for topics to search. Also we are pretty well indexed on Google . Both are a click away in the right side bar.

Bloggers - We write about blogs and websites that interest us. Also we feature bloggers and website owners who take an interest in us and help, advise and keep us going in the dark times! A blog roll of fame and honor is building, so if you want us to feature you, take a look and drop us a line.

Contact us - To get an idea off your chest, send us an email. (There is a snazzier form in the works too.)

We also offer FREE Voicemail and audio comments via Snapvine. Yes indeed, if you are in the US it is free to phone in a comment to us. It is zero to listen to the responses on your PC from anywhere in the world.

Bookmarks

At the head of every section is a set of icons for you to use as online bookmarks. These help you remember good sites, and as they are on-line services, you can access them from wherever you are on the internet. It also lets your friends know what you think is hot right now.

We are planning to extend the bookmark option for every article we produce.

Rating videos

Thanks to Pro Rate, there is a ratings option for videos. One click to make a film popular or deem it unwatchable. This will also help us to guage what people like and don't like and we can tailor our selection accordingly.

We are planning to extend the ratings option for every article we produce.

Surveys

In some sidebars you will see a survey. Without any obligation, please take part and let the faceless statisticians know what you think about all manner of things, from coffee in department stores to the economy.

Technorati rating box

A stylish and practical way to easily tag our articles.

Archives

Currently available from each blog side bar. These will all be centralised to one Archives reference page. This option should be activated over the next week or so. If you are familiar with Rapidweaver, you will know this is a great advance on archive management.

Podcast.

The experimenting is over with now. We know what we want to do, and are looking for a dynamic person to interact with Ed to produce a lively, 15 minute twice weekly podcast based on fun web and technology material published on the blog.

Lots of fun, and you will learn lots too, so why not take a shot at an audition, by sending in a MP3 or use our free snapvine voicemail!

There is a full commenting system now, so rant back at us if things arent going well, or politely inform us if the site breaks or sucks. It is all good.
