I go for NameCheap. They’ve always had really good prices, it’s easy to use and they’re ethical too.

@Gecko – CodeKit has some other nifty features too... Such as on-the-fly syntax checks for JavaScript and pretty good image compression... The image compression in particular is amazing... I had about 100MB of images in a project and it reduced it down to around 60 MB.

I personally prefer Livereload.app. Does the same thing, but in a much slicker way.

I use 101domain.com because they support every single available TLD. They also offer a service that lets you buy domain names normally only available for people running companies within that country.

Because they support so many I can keep all my domain portfolio in one single place.

I'd rather cut myself that use services like GoDaddy or 123reg again.

The River is the best thing I've seen in years. Shlocky, but great fun.

Completely confused by the reaction to Homeland (especially in a post-Wire world). It was fine, but really nothing special at all. Seems to have resonated with women quite a lot for whatever reason, maybe the female protaganist, and they're all raving about it like it's something new. I just thought it was a slightly less exciting version of 24, with some Jack Ryan thrown in.

I enjoyed it fine, but it's no Game of Thrones / Walking Dead. Even 'Awake' is more fun, and that's bloody stupid.

Given up on the Killing, far too slow for me.

Serious question: will ANY computer user, given a choice, click 'Yes' to a question like 'Can we track you' (or however it's worded)?

And won't that be the end of Analytics?

Looked at the trailer link above - looks great. Trying to place the voice so I looked him up - Bob in Bob's Burgers! I knew it sounded familar... It was pretty good, but Dr Katz and Home Movies were even better! That lineage alone is good enough for me.

Enjoyed Homeland a lot. I watched the whole series in a day (thanks to put.io and thepiratebay) and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Luke: To tell you whether it's a standalone season or not would be to spoil the ending, so I suggest you don't ask that question again!

Also very much enjoying Archer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qjay_8dfgW0), which is the funniest thing I've seen in ages. Makes Family Guy look like a kids show.

And I've been watching The River (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnaZxJIsnFE) too, whose last episode was released last night (it's iTunes only) -- it's from the guys who made Paranormal Activity (which I'm not a fan of) and is a little hit and miss, but the concept and conceit is enough to see it through the 8 episode run. I've quite enjoyed it in a pulpy kind of way. I think it's fair to say that if it looks like something you may like and you're not the kind of person that gets bothered by inconsistencies and a little hamminess, you'll probably like it.
