A recent project involving a request for an ‘accordion’ style content box allowing multiple blocks of copy to occupy the same space (I assume to give a less wordy impression to users while retaining ‘searchability’ in Google) has led me down a mootools-based route… having never used the mootools JavaScript framework before I was quite… read full entry »
Today I returned to work. Walking out of the door this morning was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my entire life; I felt like I was abandoning my daughter. Of course, I wasn’t… and she enjoyed her day with her Nannies (my mum and Lou) so barely noticed I’d gone. Work… read full entry »
Aye aye aye. I go on and on about why I love Habari and how it’s going to make tumblelogging much easier, finally make it work and then… oh, don’t use it. Now beginning to think I prefer the idea of a lifestream type social networking integrated thingy. Faddy, me? Never!

Remember when I talked about wanting to code some PHP games? (Yes, it was in 2008, what’s your point?) Well I finally managed to fit one in to my busy schedule last week, whilst avoiding studying for my current OU module. Ignoring the fact that it’s talking about points (only relevant for the final ‘install’)… read full entry »
