I really hate this feeling of wanting to learn a new language (I’m not talking French or German here, btw) and not knowing where to start. I find that the only way I can get my head around learning something is if I need to learn it. When I started with PHP I needed to… read full entry »
..my WordPress ‘eyes’, that is. I uploaded some new free smilies (emoticons) to my free smilies page yesterday, which are of course totally awesome and completely free (although charging 50 pence ($1) per smiley is a tempting idea I don’t think it’d work out).

Don’t Eat This Book, by Morgan Spurlock, is a tongue-in-cheek look at the fast food industry all over the world, focusing primarily on McDonalds in America. This book accompanies his documentary Super Size Me, in which he demonstrated the effect that eating nothing but McDonald’s food for 30 days could have on the human body…. read full entry »
Oh me, oh my! Most of you know I like my geeky t-shirts.. well, I found an awesome site at work (on a break *cough*) today: Nerdy Shirts! My favourite one so far is most definitely Quick Fix: you wouldn’t believe how many times that worked for my old game cartridges as a kid. Then… read full entry »
