    Ideas

    All too often, I have ideas which might make a cool website or iPhone app or whatever and I know I just don't have the time to build them. I'm going to post them here in the hope that someone else might find a use for them. These ideas might already be in existence, of course. I'm not claiming they are unique in any way (although some might be).

    You are free to take these ideas and do whatever you like with them. Of course, if they become amazingly successful, I could do with a bigger TV...

    If you wake up every morning and think, "My t-shirts are so dull, I wish I had interesting clothes...", you need to have a look at my online shop.

    • What's your Google Suggest number?

    The next step in ego-googling: how many letters of your name do you need to type into the google search box before you are the top suggestion? The lower the better, obviously. Including spaces, My name is the top suggestion after 10 characters so I have a Google Suggest Number of 10. My darling wife (who has recently changed her name) has a Google Suggest number of ∞ as she can type in her whole name and Google doesn't suggest her.

    Turns out somebody proposed this first over 5 years ago. Oh well. Nothing's new on the internet.
