I subscribed at $2.50 which was OK value in my experience, during the world cup as many of the commentary was there from then, but canned it when they tried to raise the price. Told them I'd resubscribe if the price was $2.50.

Ok, the paywall is finally winning me over. This article is safely hidden from my and the mainstream view, which I reckon is a great and wonderful thing.

I can still read it, no problem. There is a small trick to it.

The Herald has upped its game. I noticed yesterday that it has a new paywall, this time one that actually works! They must have finally found a competent source. Anyway, I don't think this one can be got around. Not that I plan to give them any money anyway.

For a fleeting moment I though the Herald had stopped serving up click bait stories. Alas no.

Looks to still be CSS based, They've just change the tag they've used.

"iamadamdev" is a good term to search if you're into that sort of thing.

That's odd. When I checked the HTML source I couldn't find anything. Maybe something else going on.

I signed up for a free few-weeks trial months ago. Should have expired ages ago but still going strong. Haven't paid anything and haven't used a work-around.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
