Back when I first heard of XHTML it seemed like a brilliant idea. Here was a type of mark-up with rules, and rules mean an excuse to be my normal perfectionist self. It wasn’t long before I’d converted all 200+ pages of my website to this beautiful, lower-case, tidy syntax and was getting the green… read full entry »
Merry Christmas to all of my readers, young and old alike. May your bellies be filled with wonderful food and your stockings stuffed with presents.. or whatever it is turns you on at this time of year. Enjoy the festive season, and don’t drink too much brandy eggnog — leave some for me at least… read full entry »
My report is done. All 3000 or so words of it. 90% of which I did tonight. I hate how I leave everything until the last minute (it’s due tomorrow). Anyway, woohoo, I am going to celebrate by getting off the damned computer for a while. Go me :)
I don’t know if I mentioned this on here before (this week has befuzzled my brain) but Karl and I intend on toilet training Hex. As in, properly toilet training in a human toilet.

Guess which lucky person has managed to give themselves food poisoning? I don’t know how, because I’m so ridiculously anal about raw meats and things, but last night I was mightily sick. I’d been sat on the sofa all evening since tea (dinner) — which contained the deadly chicken thigh — playing Zelda. Not a… read full entry »
I decided to put the Christmas tree up last night. I’m not sure why; I usually wait until at least the 12th to even consider it despite my love of all things festive. To be honest, I wish I had waited now… cats and Christmas trees, even fake ones, do not mix. First, Hex insisted… read full entry »
In all the years I’ve been helping people over the Internet, and that’s quite a few years.. longer than I’ve had my website in fact, I’ve often received little or no thanks from individuals. You know how it is, the stereotypical martyr act sort of thing ;) I only say it because it’s true though,… read full entry »
