Chrome seems to be steadily climbing month on month, Firefox is becalmed in the doldrums while IE is still way ahead of all of them...

Q: How can I theme and display a user picture or avatar in a page, block or content template with PHP in a way that works with ImageCache and respects the default user picture?

A: One easy way to embed a user picture into your content is to create a user view to output the picture and then just embed this view into your content by calling views_embed_view() passing in the user id as an argument.

Q: How do I get the user id that is associated with a Content Profile node, it doesn't seem to have any obvious referenced user field?

A: The user that a Content Profile node refers to is given by the node's author field! It can be accessed as $node->uid

Last week (22nd July 2010) I was lucky enough to attend the first ever dot conf in the NCI in Dublin, Ireland.

What is the dot conf?

The dot conf is a new web technology conference for anyone who works, rests or plays with the internet. It's a one day event and it's free. Essentially it's a teddy bears picnic but with internet folk instead of bears.

Last week Dermot Ahern said that we Irish citizens should get out there and get spending and stop being such a bunch of scrooges squirreling away our cash in pesky savings accounts...

Well, not exactly, but he did say we should stop saving and start spending, and Dermot Ahern certainly hasn’t been the first Irish politician to say it. Every now and then, they cast their hairy eyeballs over the vast amount of cash we’ve stashed away and I’m sure they sigh to themselves and think that if they could just somehow encourage a no-holds-barred spending frenzy then all our problems would be solved. If it could be done with real cash and not that borrowed stuff, then all the better!

Although his comments were taken pretty badly, he is right. There’s a staggering amount of money sitting in our savings accounts and it’s been steadily climbing despite, or perhaps because of, the recession. We only tuck into our savings twice a year, once at Christmas and then during the summer. The rest of the time we just keep adding to the pile.

The last time the Central Bank counted it all up, there was €64.5 billion in our savings accounts and that doesn’t include our pensions, shares, investment vehicles and other ways we put away our money. That’s just cash, and it works out at €43,851 per Irish household. Imagine if we all went out tomorrow with that in a bag and started spending? What fun we’d have.

But we won’t... not yet anyway. I think that Irish people are worried about their jobs, don’t trust the government to get us out of this mess, and certainly don’t trust the banks. When jobs are more secure, and there isn’t constant talk about new taxes like water rates and property taxes and bringing low income earners into the tax net, then maybe, just maybe people will think about spending some of that cash. For now, people are keeping their heads down, saving away and preparing for the worst.

There has been a very interesting change in our savings habits though. It’s not just that we’re saving, but we’re doing something that seems to be a mirror of our turbulent economic times. Over the last year, we have been steadily taking money out of term accounts and putting it into notice accounts.

Term accounts are the ones where you agree to put your money away for a set period of time and in return you get a (usually quite good) fixed interest rate. Some accounts run for terms of as much as 10 years. Banks love them and they are generally popular with the public when times are good. However, between May ’09 and May ’10, the amount of money in term accounts has gone from €15.1 billion to €10.2 billion – a drop of €4.9 billion.

Conversely, the amount of money in notice accounts has increased from €12.3 billion to €17.2 billion over the same period of time. An increase of… you guessed it, €4.9 billion. In fact, the amount of money in notice accounts increased every month without dipping at all for that entire year.

Although I don’t like to try and pull conclusions out of data like this, it certainly looks like more than a coincidence. I feel that Irish people are simply not comfortable locking their money away for long periods of time anymore. Instead they are opting for accounts that still give decent rates of interest but that allow access after a bit of notice. 30 days or so is pretty standard and if trouble suddenly arrives on our doorsteps, we can hang on for 30 days for our money, but a couple of years is just too long.

bonkers.ie has some of it’s own data to add to this. We studied the habits of just over 3,500 savers that used our site to look for savings accounts and found that nearly 70% of those still looking for term accounts wanted a term of 1 year or less. Practically nobody was interested in terms of 5 years or more despite high interest accounts from bullet-proof institutions like RaboDirect and An Post.

The fact that we have been consistently increasing the amount of money we have in Irish banks shows that we must trust the government deposit guarantee. But not that much. We’re still saving, but we’re keeping it where we can get our hands on it fast just in case.

As regular readers know we are actively involved in domain name and internet industry self-regulation and policy development. It has always been my personal belief that if you have the ability to make your voice heard then you should take advantage of any and all opportunities to do so.

Why?

Because the world is not perfect and neither is our industry.

If we don't let the rest of the industry know that we aren't overly happy with a particular policy then the chances of it ever changing are slim to none.

So how can you make a difference? Do you need to be a registrar to make your voice heard?

The short answer is anyone who wants to can make a difference simply by "turning up".

If you want to "dip your toes" then why not take a few minutes to submit a comment on one of the open comment periods listed on the ICANN site? Just head over there, read some of the background documents and add a comment via email.

There are a couple that might be of interest to the "normal" public:

Post-Expiration Domain Name Recovery - basically what happens to domains when they expire

Vertical Integration - can registrars own registries and vice-versa? Probably not that exciting a topic unless you're involved in the industry, but quite important if you're an advocate of free trade.

Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (part B) - part of a series of policy groups about domain transfers (disclosure: I am the Working Group chair)

RAA Amendments - possible changes to the contract between ICANN and registrars (ie. companies like Blacknight)

If any of them aren't clear ICANN's policy staff can usually help clarify the topic under discussion

mobiThinking loves awards - not for the back slapping and posh nosh - but for the platter of excellent mobile campaigns/services that each award ceremony serves up. We are addicted to case studies, especially the slick bite-sized videos that agencies submit with their entries, and it is from these that we learn what is possible, what gets results and what brands, publishers and agencies are achieving it.

bonkers.ie has been lucky enough to feature a few times in the press and on the radio this week. We worked out that Irish savers are missing out on over €1bln (yes, that’s really one billion euros) in interest that they could be earning by leaving their money in low interest accounts. We sent this info to the press, and some journalists and radio stations thought it was interesting enough to go with.

In a nutshell, what we were saying is that interest rates in Ireland are much higher than they should be, interest rates this good won’t last long and Irish people should take advantage of them while they can.

Why? Well, because Irish banks are on a deadline. The new regulator says they have to increase the amount of actual cash in their coffers before the end of the year to protect them against failing in the future. For most banks, this means doubling the amount of cash and reserves they hold on to.

Irish banks have to find this cash from somewhere and we, the humble citizens of Ireland, are their targets. But to get us to change bank accounts or move our money out of the post office, they have to give us something worth moving for, and that’s high returns on our savings. Rates are so high in some cases that you can earn more on your savings than you’re paying on your mortgage - especially if you’re one of those lucky tracker people.

The thing is that people with tracker mortgages aren’t really that lucky; they just saw an opportunity and jumped on it. Now they are reaping the rewards with super-low mortgage payments. In some cases, homeowners with trackers are paying as little as 1.6%. It’s so low because the ECB rate is just 1% and tracker mortgages follow the ECB – then the banks tack on a bit extra for themselves.

There’s a similar opportunity right now with savings rates and we should be taking advantage of them. As soon as the banks reach their cash goal, interest rates will most likely fall because they’ll have no incentive to offer the great rates anymore, and with the ECB rate at just 1%, savings rates in Ireland are artificially high.

Ok, talking about savings isn’t very exciting - but cash is. Most people like money, and here’s how to get more of it. Let’s say you have five grand in a deposit account – the one your bank suggested you open. It’s probably a demand account so you can get at your cash whenever you want to, but most demand accounts only pay 0.01% interest...

0.01% is so low that it might as well just be zero. With five grand in a demand account at 0.01% you’ll earn just 50c interest in a year… and here’s the worst thing; Irish people have €37bln in accounts like that.

By taking our money out of these terrible accounts, we can earn 3.3% interest and still get at our money whenever we need to. If we’re prepared to lock our cash away for a year, we could earn 3.5% and beat that end of year drop in interest rates. That’s 350 times as much interest! And we can earn even more if we’re prepared to save for longer. For our five grand, that means that instead of earning 50c, we can earn €175 a year. Not bad the half an hour it takes to change accounts.

Last time I made €175 in half an hour I was at a blackjack table in Vegas, but that’s a story for another blog.

We're delighted to announce that we're now offering the .co domain extension for registration. But what is it you may be asking yourself?

.co is a strange beast, as it's being hailed as the "next big thing" and I guess your question should be, is it going to be ?

Well the .co registry are investing heavily in it and doing a lot of marketing to make it so, but is it working?

Based on what we've seen so far it looks like it could well be..

The first 15 minutes saw 90,000 .co domain names being picked up and it has being going strong ever since. After being available for regisration for only 3 days already there are over 280,000 domain names registered!

It's the country-code TLD for Colombia, but as I said its not being marketed as such its being marketed as an international domain extension to combat the heavily saturated .com marketplace

So should you register a .co?

An article on PCPro.co.uk seems to suggest that google will be allowing the .co extension to target the international domain market as opposed to the country specific and that should mean good things for international business sites.

With the vast majority of .com names being gone (90 million .com domains are currently registered give or take a million have you found a good one recently) or being up for sale for a lot of money have you thought what you could do with .co ?

So who are buying them, already the likes of twitter have picked up some premium domain names t.co for example ( will that be one of the smallest link shorteners on the market? possibly even rivaling our own link shortner Blacknig.ht :) )

If you like your stats you can see a rather interesting break down of who is currently purchasing them http://opportunity.co/pigsfly/.

You'll see registrations in the US and Europe are currently going strong.

If you're a company, corporation, community or even a contest does a .co make sense to you?

Blacknight is currently offering .co domains at just EUR29.99 one of the lowest prices on the market.

As one of the newest domain extentions you have a lot of choice for now so don't delay have you thought about protecting your brand?

Or registering something cool? Let us know

Price: EUR8.99
