On my way into Shrewsbury today I saw something quite shocking in someone’s window: a flashing snowman-shaped Christmas decoration. I don’t think the words “Oh My Goodness” have ever been more appropriate.

All Fixed
All should be fixed now, including the domain names. Those ‘working’ at Review-You should be able to log into the admin section again. Subdirectories and subdomains are also okay. Super flipping duper! Let’s hope these few minor issues today are worth it in the end.
Server Issues
Site5 have decided that the server load on the old server was too high (seemed perfectly fast to me, but heyho) and they’ve migrated a load of accounts to a new server. Although by their own claims this is “transparent to you and your visitors” they have cocked up a few things including the domain […]
Review of tehsheriff.org
Reviewed: Sydney Site URL: tehsheriff.org Ouch. An automatic redirect. I’d not noticed that before but due to a drop of lag I saw the holding page for a few seconds — not good. If you’re using a <meta /> redirect — don’t. These can badly affect your search engine ranking because they’re commonly used by […]
Thunderbird is Broken
Thunderbird is cocked up and isn’t letting me send out any mail (security/certificate bollocks.) I *was* going to send out a load today as I’m now “on holiday” but until I fix the godforsaken thing you’ll all have to wait a bit longer. Uninstall/install didn’t work because it kept my sodding settings. So yes, q*bee […]
Nothing Exciting

Birthday Wishes
Happy Birthday Ian :)
Beta Testers Needed
I spent most of yesterday redoing BellaBook for the 3.1 release. I think I’ve got it just how I want it now — better admin protection as well as spam/bad word filtering. Anyway, now I just need beta testers. I need a couple of people with semi-decent PHP skills to have a look, install it, […]
Dirty Geek Joke
There are advantages to being in a ‘geek’ couple: Karl: Ooh, a left boob and a right boob!Jem: My boobs are relatively positioned.Karl: Well, as long as the margins are the same..Jem: No, I think my left margin is slightly bigger than my right.Karl: So you could say that they’re marginally different?Jem: Or that I’ve […]
Shitty shit shit
So, this week has not been the best so far this year. I got shipped from Computer Services to the Web Design office so I could do some designing (instead of the usual developing) which is all fine and funky, but I’m so used to designing for my own specifications I end up braindead and […]
