I don’t know if any of you have ever watched one of those dodgy diet shows… wannabe doctor-cum-nutritionist types who stand there shouting at fatties about how if they don’t stop eating crap they’re going to die tomorrow, all the while probably fantasising about sinking their teeth into the big cream buns and greasy, lovely [...]

Hi everyone! Remember me? My name is Jem, I refer to myself as a the ‘php ninja’? Look, I’m not dead yet!
Firstly, thank you to everyone who left comments, emails etc enquiring as to my whereabouts/asking me whether or not I was dead or not (so that you can throw a party, right?) I have [...]

I finally remembered to check the results for the second module of my course today; I received another Grade 2 pass as per the first module. Given my self-confessed loathing of JavaScript I didn’t even expect to get that far.
I am annoyed though, to be quite honest. I have a weak spot when it comes [...]

Aha, I did something a little strange last night. I “went out”. It’s a funny concept, not one I’m overly familiar with. Local blogger Stuart, aka ‘wonkotsane’ — an old school friend of Karl’s — invited Karl and I out for a drink to celebrate his lovely wife’s birthday.
Despite a) not being a drinker and [...]

I managed to rip my favourite pair of trousers on the back of my bicycle pedal (lol, I wrote peddle) a couple of weeks ago, so much so that they only thing they’ll be good for now is turning into scruffy lounge-about-the-house shorts.
I went to buy a new pair yesterday, but the closest match I [...]

You know it’s funny, I was contemplating taking part in the NaBloPoMo again this year, and yet here I am barely able to update once a week, let alone once a frickin’ day!
It’s not necessarily for any set reason; work has slowed down a little — at least enough for my keyboard to stop melting [...]

I think I had a panic attack on the way home from work today. I’ve never felt anything like it in my entire life. I couldn’t breathe, and the harder I tried the worse it became. I had an overwhelming urge to cry but nothing came out. It was as if I was going to [...]

Fuse: An Online Magazine, a new collaborative web project created and compiled by Sarai (chiklita.net), went live today.
First up, I’ll admit that most online magazines annoy the crap out me. It seems that all a person has to do to gain a little link-popularity these days is create a few lists derived from other people’s [...]

I have quite a lot to say about my experiments with food and gardening of late but I’m a little concerned about scaring off the majority of you who’re here to read the geeky bits. As I don’t have the time to start and maintain a separate blog it’s a case of “tough titty”: you [...]

You know you need a looong break from the Internet when you look at the TV listings, see:
…and the first thing that springs to mind is an insecure script.
Totally off topic… if someone pisses you off beyond belief, on levels that it is not possible to talk about without resorting to copious swearwords likely to [...]
