Wii Sports should come with a serious health warning. I was doing the boxing for just 15-20 minutes on Saturday and I’ve been crippled with shoulder/back pains since. I couldn’t sleep this morning because every time I tried to get comfortable I’d set the pain off again. In other Wii news, I’ve bought Wii Play… read full entry »
What the hell is it with the sudden burst of people using the comment subscription tick box (plugin?) with WordPress? Is it really that prosperous for a website owner to have it automatically ticked?

So, as the doctor prescribed I’ve been taking a brisk walk every day. Except, I have a confession… I’ve discovered that I am that bloody unfit that I am struggling to keep it brisk for over 5 minutes, let alone 15. I can only try and guess at how the hell I used to do… read full entry »
Learn Ruby with Hackety Hack and be a code ninja in no time :3
On this date five years ago a wonderful miracle was born… ok, I’m somewhat over-exaggerating, but today is the fifth birthday of jemjabella.co.uk! With various sub-domains that have come and gone, three hackings, at least four different incarnations of what I wanted my domain to be and more past layouts than you can shake a… read full entry »
My 18-monthly depo checkup/3-monthly jab was this morning. I was particularly looking forward to this after the doctor had to Google the procedure and the nurse left my arse exposed to the world last time.
