I recently bought some boots from Barratts to give myself more ankle support when I’m carrying Isabel (I walk for miles, and my trainers/sneakers weren’t doing the job). When checking out, I was asked to register, and the title field had a list a mile long with every possible title you can think of (pro-tip: […]

Sneaky Tactics: Making Adverts Look Like the Browser Part 2
In 2008 I blogged about a site displaying adverts disguised as browser-style yellow bars and the risks associated with this shady tactic (especially if something a little more sinister than an advert were linked!) Clearly nothing has changed in the past 2 years, because it’s still happening. I clicked through to an article in The […]
A Furry Intruder
Oh, hello… :D Welcome our newest addition; you may recognise her. Fudge is currently hiding from her, and Hex is doing his best “I’m a big scary boss cat” routine complete with growls and hisses. Isabel is absolutely fascinated by her, and the kitten likewise. She’s not named yet, so feel free to make suggestions.
The Cutest Booties
Isabel has some cute little pink fabric booties that I bought from Marks and Spencers, they’re perfect for keeping her socks on and feet warm while we’re out and about and she’s in the wrap. However, as she’s growing at a rapid pace, I splurged a little recently and decided to buy Izz some new […]
No, I don’t want your shitty add-ons
What the hell is it with software companies thinking it’s OK to bombard you with additional junk packaged up with their programs already? I finally got ’round to buying Windows 7 for my laptop (after finding it plain awesome on my AA1) so did the whole back-up files, etc and reinstall malarkey yesterday afternoon. This […]
Growing So Fast
I realised earlier that I’ve not updated on Isabel in a while. I tend to assume you all know what’s going on in my daily life, which is a ridiculous notion even if I do tweet about it a lot. So, Izz is 6 months old. She’s been sitting unsupported for about 2 weeks, give […]
You’re Fucking Kidding Me?
I was going through my stats earlier (as I do, several times a day, hah) when I came across Legion Training and Education Consultancy. No, I’m not planning on joining a foreign legion… the site is using tutorialtastic‘s layout and code — direct-linked files and all — as the base for their layout. Still, I’ve […]
Thoughts on UK Election Results
David Cameron is now prime minister. I’m annoyed, confused, bemused and anxious all in one go. I made it no secret that I voted for my local Liberal Democrat candidate. Not only did I feel she had the most to offer my constituency but I also support the Lib Dem party on the whole. I […]
NinjaLinks Feature Requests
I’m being nagged for a NinjaLinks update ;) If you currently use the script and have feature in mind, please add your requests here. Can’t guarantee a date for release (for obvious reasons) but will fit it in when I can.
Oh My Cuteness!
Isn’t this little girl kitty just gorgeous? Tell me I don’t want another kitty. Tell me I don’t need the expense (spaying, food, litter). Tell me I don’t need the hassle of integrating a third cat. Tell me how much more difficult 3 cats are. Tell me that no matter how many ginger kitties I […]
