The success of rev.iew.me‘s launch has opened my eyes to a multitude of websites I never knew existed. Unfortunately, it has also made me realise that the age of the dodgy tutorial is not over, and now more than ever younger webmasters are “educating” each other with terrible code for the sake of scraping in… read full entry »

As a web developer and general computer geek, I frequently find myself involved in discussions with other devs, designers and power-users over what operating system they’re using. I find myself in a minority, being a Microsft Windows user by choice. This isn’t inherently bad, especially given that the choice of one’s OS can be an… read full entry »

After much nagging and one amusing — and wholly accurate — unrequested review I finally decided to get off my arse and finish changing my layout, something that has been on the cards for months. However, failed design after failed design led to much frustration. In my weakened, feeble state I decided that spending hours… read full entry »

I was going through some of my old posts the other day, looking for one in particular, and found my old ramble on the joys of PMS post-Depo Provera, and thought it appropriate to write a follow-up post on birth control. Yes, pregnancy: the ultimate birth control. Morning sickness does not stop at 12 weeks…… read full entry »

*cough* Excuse me while I brush off the dust and cobwebs. One would be forgiven for assuming I’m off enjoying the fabulous sunshine the UK is getting at the moment, but you’d be so wrong. When I’m not working my ass off (even on Fridays at the moment) I’m sleeping. Apparently the “bouncy”/”energetic” second trimester… read full entry »

The guy bases his entire reputation on the fact he validates his pages. However, I made it clear in my review of his website that validated or not, he still sucks epic balls as… read full entry »

One of my Snarkers is up for vote in the WPWebHost Best WordPress Design Awards. I don’t normally get involved in these sorts of online voting/award things because it’s just egotistical back-patting (and by that I really mean that I’m not good enough to be entered) but Mimi mentioned that the guy coming in second… read full entry »

Due to Jacky‘s inclination towards professionalism and all that jazz (and the best of luck to her, of course) our beloved Snark has moved to a new home… a new domain, a new host and a new admin – me :) If you’ve been waiting for it to come back up, go post! If you… read full entry »

Thank you all for the well wishes, congratulations, advice and support on my last entry, and via e-mail/twitter. I can see that my bastard child has some expectations to live up to. ;) For the record, I’m sure that — despite the heathen, unmarried environment into which we’re bringing this child (with lesbian grandparents no… read full entry »

I have a small confession to make… I’ve been telling you all a few little porkies. I keep telling you all I’m sick — well, there’s no untruth in that — but I’ve fabricated as to why. There is no mystery sickness, there are no allergies, I’m not coming down with swine flu (hah). In… read full entry »
