There’s a Toad in My Oven

Funniest interpretation of my tired mumblings ever: Me: I’ve stuck a frozen toad in the hole in the oven. Amelie: You stuck a frozen toad in your oven, just to block a hole? This post does not in any way condone cruelty to toads. I am wondering how many people will ‘get it’ though..

A General ‘Me’ Update

I figured as the last two posts have been coding related I should probably do a bit of a general update so everybody knows how things are going. That, and my coding posts seem to confuse people.. The most annoying thing at the moment is that I still have my cold. I can’t seem to […]

I Think I’m Dying

I have sniffles and snot and a headache. My muscles have turned to wibbly jelly and my favourite mini cheesecakes from Tesco taste like ..well, nothing. :( I need sympathy because that’ll magically make me better again. Well, it probably won’t, but do it anyway. PS. Hi Rose :) Edit: D’uh! I totally forgot to […]

Odds and Ends

I’ve added a new stylesheet for large resolution users (recommended for 1280×1024 and above). It’s the same theme, it just features larger text and a larger content area. If for some reason you click that link and didn’t mean to you can reset your theme choice on the set theme page. Thank you for the […]

Memories of Doniford Bay

I was going through my photos from over the past few years to see what I can pluck out of my collection for display on my new subdomain (aha, patience my friends) when I came across this: Excuse the poor quality, the photo was never intended for display and the light was very poor at […]

Gay Marriage Equals Polygamy!

I like to consider myself pretty broad-minded. I like to think that I can be friends with people who believe things that go against my own beliefs and opinions, no matter how ridiculous I find them to be. However, I cannot believe how bloody angry it makes me feel to see people blaming polygamy on […]

Sponsor a Good Cause

Amelie‘s dad is running 4km on behalf of The Prostate Cancer Charity as a tribute to his late son Nick (Amelie’s brother). So if you fancy spending a bit of cash on a good cause this year, go and sponsor Amelie’s Dad online. When you’ve donated, you can go and join the Web Developer Toolbar […]

Photo Friday: Technology

The photo: You are looking at quite possibly the most over-used photo in my entire ‘collection’. This photo has been used on a layout for almost every single one of my mini-sites, including tutorialtastic and currently: Karl’s Asylum. I have no idea why, but it is probably one of my favourite photographs. Not because of […]

Looking for Shit Websites

I’m out of material to do a few of my famous unrequested reviews on, so if you know of any shit websites, do feel free to let me know. Either add the URL in a comment or e-mail me. Preferrably shit reviewing/tutorial websites — they seem to be the most fun to do. I think […]

My Life, On a Bookshelf

I was in the bedroom thinking again last night (anyone spot a trend here?) and came to the conclusion that my bookcase, the one that Karl went out and bought in August, perfectly represents my life. How sad is that, eh? My life can be ‘explained’ within three shelves. First, there’s the bottom shelf: There’s […]
