Google May Harm Your Computer

I think Google is having a bit of a FAIL day. I just did a search for “prerogative” to ensure I was using the right spelling (that first ‘r’ occasionally catches me out) only to be told that Wikipedia may harm my computer: I thought, eh.. never thought I’d see the day that wikipedia is […]

Furry Friday: Furry Links

It’s Furry Friday today, as I’m sure you’re all aware. Unfortunately, due to the manic running around packing, and my inability to concentrate on more than one thing at a time this week (BellaBlocks has been my focus) I forgot to charge the camera batteries. That leaves us with the dilemma of not having anything […]

My Favourite Pizza

Aisling pondered pizza in her latest entry, listing her favourite toppings, crust, etc. Not wanting to ruin the chance to advise you all on my favourite pizza — should we ever meet and you feel tempted to buy me something to eat — I have decided to blog on the subject too. Firstly, it has […]

Is it the 13th yet?

Every day is sloooowly draaaagging by. Every second feels like a minute, every minute like an hour. It’s still January. Why is it still January? Why is it not February? Can’t we get to the 13th already? I want to finish packing, I want to start moving, I want to get my furniture and belongings […]

Continuing to Grow CSSbake

Remember on January 1st, I posted about the release of the new CSSbake? Well, I thought some of you might like an update :) For starters, we’ve just hit 999 unique hits this month. This is a good figure for a website that was effectively raised from the dead — and I’m sure Ben wouldn’t […]

Server Move and Some Coding

As you may (or may not, it was fairly seamless) have noticed, I have moved to a new server. Site5 cocked something up during a supposedly routine server upgrade last week, and after contacting the CEO and having a level 2 tech supposedly fix the problem 3 times, most of my site remained unavailable. I […]

Valid HTML/XHTML Trend

Validation — to validate HTML or XHTML — is the process of tidying up the syntax of a web page to conform to standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium, the group that develops the standards and guidelines of our beloved mark-up languages. Valid pages retain a horde of benefits over non-valid counterparts, upto […]

Cats Have Terrible Timing

Why is it that cats have such terrible — or perfect, depending on how you look at it — timing when it comes to litter tray business? For instance: It doesn’t matter how many times a cat has already been to the tray that day, the moment it is cleaned and stocked with fresh litter, […]

Pants: i D A R R Y L’ [d0t] NET

I received an e-mail just after New Year, nominating today’s Pants Award recipient. I still haven’t decided what I’m actually going to do with the Pants series, so I was tempted to just delete the e-mail… and then I opened the website. i D A R R Y L’ [d0t] NET is… startling. I mean, […]

Furry Friday: O Hai

Ginger pig wants to know what’s going on… “What you doin’?” (Note: tutorialtastic is still down because of a site5 cock-up. I hope to have it back up ASAP. Sorry for the inconvenience.)
