Anything and everything vaguely internet related. Blogging, industry, social media: if you can find it online, I've talked about it in here.
Stephanie told me that I have to blog. But, I don’t really have anything to blog about. Work continues at a reasonable pace bug-fixing and improving BellaBlocks, I’m still mid-way through implementing some code Mat worked on for me, and I’m still all out of sync from the move. Lucky I already broke my blog-a-day… read full entry »
12 hours of moving furniture yesterday, I’m absolutely knackered. Argh :| Anyway, not a proper blog, just wanted to let you all know that the Internet hasn’t been connected at the flat yet, the cats are settling in nicely, and the guinea pigs didn’t even notice we moved them really. A couple of people have… read full entry »
SitePoint (the cool people who make books and write articles and things) are giving away 5 of their books in PDF form for the price of 1. That’s $149.75 worth of books for just $29.95 (about 20 quid). As if this wasn’t a groovy enough deal on its own (because the SitePoint books do rock),… read full entry »
Those of you who missed out a couple of years ago when I gave a geek t-shirt (courtesy of syswear) away in my blog, might want to read on… I’ve teamed up with syswear again, only this time we’re offering a free geek t-shirt in the latest rev.iew.me contest. The member who earns the most… read full entry »
I feel like shit, and have spent a proportion of the afternoon in bed so really shouldn’t be involving myself in this right now, but I can’t help it. Hacker News and Reddit have been bickering today on CSS vs. tables. I have, for the most part, kept out of it. Despite being an advocate… read full entry »
I think Google is having a bit of a FAIL day. I just did a search for “prerogative” to ensure I was using the right spelling (that first ‘r’ occasionally catches me out) only to be told that Wikipedia may harm my computer: I thought, eh.. never thought I’d see the day that wikipedia is… read full entry »
It’s Furry Friday today, as I’m sure you’re all aware. Unfortunately, due to the manic running around packing, and my inability to concentrate on more than one thing at a time this week (BellaBlocks has been my focus) I forgot to charge the camera batteries. That leaves us with the dilemma of not having anything… read full entry »
Remember on January 1st, I posted about the release of the new CSSbake? Well, I thought some of you might like an update :) For starters, we’ve just hit 999 unique hits this month. This is a good figure for a website that was effectively raised from the dead — and I’m sure Ben wouldn’t… read full entry »

Valid pages retain a horde of benefits over non-valid counterparts, upto… read full entry »
I received an e-mail just after New Year, nominating today’s Pants Award recipient. I still haven’t decided what I’m actually going to do with the Pants series, so I was tempted to just delete the e-mail… and then I opened the website. i D A R R Y L’ [d0t] NET is… startling. I mean,… read full entry »
