Don’t worry, you haven’t been shipped off to a dodgy site instead of examining your regular tech menu. Instead of monkeys we’re all about snakes now. The site, in case you didn’t notice (I won’t blame you) now resolves to “techsnake.com.” The reasoning for the interested (or bored) is below:

Firstly no-one really understood skymonkey. It’s an interesting name but doesn’t mean anything. TechSnake is obviously about technology, and a new character, “Harvey”, will be making his appearance known soon!

Secondly it appears domain squatters have decided that rather than read about tech news, the readers of skymonkey would rather gamble, or click on Google ads to do with Sky television. Skymonkey.com & .co.uk were stolen away and are now in the hands of the other side. I know that nobody (especially readers) wants confusion and I certainly don’t want to be associated with that stuff. So rather than compete, I thought I would move the traffic away from the name, and towards a new image - that of the Tech Snake. Snakes because they’re slippery, cunning and always hunting out their prey - kind of what I do on a daily basis trying to get the best news and interviews for you, the readers of the site.

So there we are - news over. Enjoy the tech. Also worth noting is a great post by Dazza today, about the different gaming engines available in the market today and what we can expect for the future. Plus why not check out the archives on the left? Some of the news is topical but it’s normally always interesting too! Enjoy!
