First off, I’d like to apologise to anyone who I snapped at, made feel uncomfortable, or just generally didn’t watch what I was typing thus unintentionally upset yesterday. It was the 6th anniversary of Ian’s death and, whilst I was generally fine and cheerful in the morning, a few things at home set me off… read full entry »

Reviewed: Kathleen Site URL: band-o.org I seem to be reviewing the skin “RockyBliss”. My first impression involves the word “cack” so I’m not sure if I should continue. The background colour, while obviously selected from the top photograph, is tediously plain and doesn’t compliment your layout like it should. A pattern, or anything to break… read full entry »

I was thinking about Review-You last night whilst tidying up in the bedroom (completely irrelevant, I know) and have come to the conclusion that it is probably best if I close the website when the domain name expires. Don’t get me wrong, I love reviewing, love owning the site and love the fact that people… read full entry »

Finally, tutorialtastic is live. After some minor issues with a some .htaccess magic, and a moment of last minute panic where I realised I needed to use “../” before internal links in all of my tutorials; I have it up! There’s still some links which’ll be broken until I fix them, some tutorials that didn’t… read full entry »

This is partly aimed at Sonya and partly at those who’ve graced my FAQ/contact box with their oh-so-lovely questions and comments analysing my website (and as such, my personality) despite not knowing me at all… If you’re going to tell me how to run my own website at least have a successful one yourself. I… read full entry »

I’ve invented a new method of skinning. Oh yes, me, I am the best. :P No one else gets the code yet, ’cause it’s one of the new tutorials on tutorialtastic (or it will be, when the site is up). Basically, it’s smaller and tidier than the original method of skinning that seems to be… read full entry »

I just found this Haloscan page in my referrer logs which ontains a comment from “me” (my name and website url) — regarding somebody closing their website — posted at 7:05 this morning. For those not wanting to click the link, it says: Is this because Petshopgirl has a no right click script so you… read full entry »

Alright, so no one has actually said it to me yet, but I can see it coming. People are getting spam in BellaBook3.1 — and it’s their own fault (honest!). BellaBook users are not making use of the features in the script. My personal installation of BellaBook hasn’t been spammed yet. Not once. Not at… read full entry »

Reviewed: No idea, didn’t bother to find out. Site URL: pixelfx.org Generally I only direct my unrequested reviews at other review sites of poor quality — a taste of their own medicine. However, having seen pixelfx.org mentioned about 6 times today I’m getting more and more infuriated at the amount of people relying on the… read full entry »

Ah, I had one of those moments yesterday where I visited a website and it just screamed “review me”. About 9 hours later and I finally think I’ve finished. That is, unless I decide to “have a moment” and add to it. I won’t post the entire review in this post as that would a)… read full entry »
