Who wants to come and play with my new Wiiiiiiii? YES :D I finally got one. I was playing on my GameCube (notice a Nintendo theme?) last night and casually told Karl to have a quick look on will-consoles.co.uk to see if it had spotted any in stock (not including the bundles, which I didn’t… read full entry »
How insane is the government? Perhaps you shouldn’t answer that, we’ve not got all year. However, we should be questioning the sanity of Professor Lord Richard Layard, a government adviser, who believes “the central purpose of schools should be to teach “the secrets of happiness”” (source). What bollocks. Schools are not a place to learn… read full entry »
I was trawling through my Awstats logs yesterday (as it’s the start of the month and there’s less to go through) and noticed a site insisting on direct-linking to my free avatars.

Fortunately this doctor — although obviously new — was more clued up than the last guy. He started asking me… read full entry »
…or near enough! Seriously, now is the time to be buying geek t-shirts. I’ve just bought three new t-shirts (I know, I know) from ThinkGeek which — including the ridiculous cost of delivering them from the States — have cost me less than three from syswear.com would have and they don’t charge for delivery. (If… read full entry »

A thread came up at Mint Pages in which the age-old question “how do I increase my hits?” was asked. Although I’ve covered the subject briefly before, it did raise an interesting point about alt attributes. (That’s right, alt attributes, not alt tags.) I’m sure you’ve heard me nagging about alt attributes before in the… read full entry »
