I’ve been in so much pain I had to have an emergency dentist appointment earlier. Apparently, a deep filling in one of my teeth has caught/damaged the nerve-y stuff and I’ve got to have a root canal treatment done on July 24th. Just the thought of the words “root canal” makes me shudder, but apparently… read full entry »
I posted a comment aimed at the owner of pixelfx.org on the latest update at CodeGrrl earlier, effectively pointing out that she was still distributing insecure scripts. Shortly after I got a response from an obviously blind butthead making assumptions about my choice of blogging software (apparently using WordPress automatically makes you a lazy or… read full entry »
Some quick news, because I’m too lazy to blog properly: BellaBook passed 1000 downloads — since I started logging them — today. I started logging them at the end of May, that’s only a month and a bit! I decided against releasing the tutorial on modifying BellaBook into a fanlisting script, because it ended up… read full entry »
“Eeeeeeeeee!” is the sound one makes when something you’ve quite positively slaved over for hundreds of years has a fanlisting made to celebrate it! I don’t care how generally pointless they are, there is nothing better than knowing a person (in this case, Amelie) likes something you’ve done so much that they’re going to dedicate… read full entry »
Dear Jem, In case you forget sometime in the near future, please let this note serve as a reminder to you. It is not a good idea to go out in the piss-pouring rain in nothing but your pyjamas and a pair of flimsy flip-flops to watch the lightning. Not only are your flip-flops soaked,… read full entry »

I am still sticking with the lines and circles — lines under headers, blocky navigation, circles in the header etc — just making things a little more fruity… read full entry »
Review-You.net will be expiring some time over the next week or so, so if you’re linking to it, please update your links to point to http://ry.jemjabella.com (or .co.uk, whichever you prefer) instead. Talking of reviews.. I’m looking for review-oriented websites to link exchange/affiliate with the review section of my website. Book, game and website review… read full entry »
When I received the photo friday ‘happiness is…’ email this morning, immediately I thought of my niece eating the fondant out of her Cadbury’s Creme Egg yesterday. It made her happy, and it made me grin like a complete prat (I do that a lot ’round my niece). Anyway, as her parents don’t agree with… read full entry »
In true chuck-myself-in-at-the-deep-end Jem style, I’ve been fiddling with Ubuntu again because there are certain things I want/need to learn. After spending several hours trying to familiarise myself with all the basic crap, I’ve started downloading some handy stuff that I figured I’d share, along with some useful links. Automatix — Automatix is a graphical… read full entry »
I’ve just added one of those FeedBurner things to my sidebar. I really have no idea what it is/does because I’ve not read the site yet, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. (If you use one of these and know of any advantages or know what it does, please share!) It… read full entry »
