Some of you will probably remember that last month, I posted about the upcoming property searching that Karl and I would have to do. Well, shortly afterwards we went to see a small cottage about a mile and a half up the road. It was pretty, had a lovely garden and a shed. However, it […]

Hex’s Free Geek T-shirt
I received an e-mail from Andrew over at Force 18 a couple of days ago (the 11th) complimenting my geek t-shirt collection, offering to send me a free t-shirt. It’s a great marketing ‘trick’, because not only will I now be aware of the website and quite feasibly buy from it in the future, but […]

Beginner’s Guide to PHP – Part Three
I’ve had to restart this about 4 times now, because each time I decide to finish off, I get half way and somehow lose the file. I don’t know about l33t PHP Ninja; recently I’ve been l33t file loser. Anyway, quick recap: in Part Two of the PHP Beginners Guide I briefly covered the basic […]
Rockin’ It Old School!
In an attempt to suppress the incessant need to spawn new layouts, as mentioned in my last post, I have decided to hell with it.. I’ll simply fall on to Phil’s advice and bring back a style-switcher and several older layouts along with it. This idea was easier said than done, as I discovered the […]
Grass is Always Greener
I’ve just seen Melissa’s hot new layout, which utilises so many of my favourite web design ‘touches’, it makes me pine for a grey on white text design. Of course, if I were to do that, I’d be missing my white on grey design before the month is out. :( Is there such a thing […]
Article Update
Combined old “Valid Trend” / “No Valid Trend” rants to one new HTML/XHTML article.
hot boob hypnosis
Any idea what hot boob hypnosis is? No, me either. Yet, it’s one of a few thousand phrases used to find my website last month, and number 9 of a handful I collected while in hysterics last night, especially for your enjoyment (and possible bewilderment). I’ve blanked the swear words, for the sake of the […]
Snap, Crackle and PMS!
This post is probably a bit girly for most of you, feel free to bugger off now… About 4 years ago I went on the Depo Provera jabs. As well as wanting the extra contraceptive power, I figured it’d be a good way to ditch the Monthly Terrors and the accompanying symptoms (agonising cramps, ridiculous […]
Review: Design by Treitner
I don’t review many sites these days because time and time again I am presented with the same shit. Someone’s blog with a regurgitated free WordPress theme, subtly modified enough to warrant removing the credit line but demonstrating no actual skill. Graphics/resource sites with MySpace layouts greased with the blood, sweat and tears of some […]
