Reviewed: Veve Site URL: sensorial.org/captious Subtle earthy tones are always a welcome colour scheme on a website because of the way they make a visitor (me in particular) feel mellow. This website is no exception. The green-coloured sidebar is too pronounced compared to the rest of the layout, but in general a relaxing overall look […]

Summer Work and a PDA
So, most of you are aware that I am working part-time at my college on Tuesdays.. yes? Well, today I was talking with my boss-dude, and he said he wants me in over the summer. Now, I’d already semi-arranged to do time with the Web Team over summer which was apparently going to be paid […]
Sunburn
I made the mistake of reading my book outside in the warm sun yesterday — the sun was hotter than I realised and sitting facing it was probably not a good idea. I am now pink. In fact, pink is an understatement.. I am glowing red and it bloody hurts. There was me saying “I […]
Nostalgic Part 2
Even after you gals provided me with potential excuses yesterday, I still don’t understand the reasonings behind placing adverts on a personal site. For example — money.. if people can’t afford a domain or hosting in the first place, they shouldn’t be on the Internet. Why spend money you haven’t got, and then beg to […]
Nostalgic
Anyhow.. am I just being nostalgic and old-fashioned when I question web advertising and banners on personal web pages? Four or so years ago when I was a newbie “designer” without a domain name, I’d have killed to have found free hosting without a banner, because everyone knew that the ultimate in web design was […]
Review of acior.net
Reviewed: Jane Site URL: acior.net Despite how common this design is at the moment, there’s nothing more wonderful than a beautifully done colour scheme with a perfectly complimentary decorative image to tie things in together – something you have managed to achieve. Your text is an adequate size for me to read, and you seem […]
Organ Donation
Since I was a kid, I always remember seeing a card in my brothers wallet stating he was an organ donor. I decided when I first saw it was something I’d like to do to — but is something I’ve never got ’round to doing. However, I saw something the other day which pointed out […]
Good Grandpa
My Grandpa has been visiting my sites, look at this lovely comment he left in my guestbook: Well now, there’s a thing! I have been a writer, journalist, editor, etc, for some 40+ years, following in the literary talents of my dear departed mother, whose letters to me at school used to be wonderful indeed […]
Cherie Blair?
Apparently Cherie Blair is walking around my college? I wondered who they were on about when they rang to say we had to be in early because we had VIPs walking around. I wish they’d given us a bit of notice.. I could have put on a nice shirt and my shoes instead my scruffy […]
Obsessive About Validity
As it’s break time, I was surfing the lib dem/aboutmyvote.co.uk site for information on postal votes, and I noticed an “xhtml” link at the bottom of aboutmyvote.co.uk. Potentially impressive, but somewhat disappointing. I clicked the link and the site does not validate. So, being the nosy busy body I am I sent an e-mail to […]
