I’ve just heard that Britney Spears has lost custody of her children to her (ex?) husband K-Fed. Now, I don’t know much about all that’s gone on with her but for a judge to hand over custody to the father over the mother, she must have done something pretty screwed up. I’m sure many of… read full entry »

It’s that time of year again. Most students are back from their summer holidays, settling in to the old routine AKA mass procrastination to avoid their homework. These avoidance techniques commonly include starting a “WPR”, or “web page review [site]”. It’s a harmless pastime, but it never fails to amuse me how many of these… read full entry »

Over the last few weeks I’ve been receiving comments from people called “Guardian Dental” and “Cisco Vpn”. Now, I’ve heard some funny names in my time but I’m pretty sure we haven’t stooped as low as naming our children after insurance and networking tools. The problem is, aside from the spammy name and URL the… read full entry »

Recently I had Jacky come with up with an actual logo for tutorialtastic. Something that I could work with, create a new layout around and generally identify my long-neglected tutorial site.

I could never be a graphic designer…… read full entry »

Feedburner tells me my subscriber count hit over 400 as of today. I feel like I should post something inspirational or deep the mark the occasion but as I’m not a particularly inspirational or deep person I’ll leave you with a question or three. If you’re contributing to my subscriber count by adding my RSS… read full entry »

Not really, but I couldn’t think of a creative title for the random/mixed load of waffle that this entry is going to be. Firstly, I present you with Hex dressing up/playing LOLCAT: Created for your viewing pleasure by Aisling (x3) and Hanna (x1) Next, I can confirm that my course materials have arrived complete with… read full entry »

After ignoring what could possibly be sound advice I decided to order the Dell Vostro 1000. It arrived today, and here I am typing away. Or rather, I’m “yping” away because I seem to have a bit of a dodgy T key. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s new and needs breaking in a… read full entry »
