I was going through my hits and mint stats as per usual this evening and noticed that the lovely Carly was plugging me again.. I went to check out why I was being linked to find a thread at a forum where the discussion of tables and divs had come up. About three quarters of […]

Beware of the Tomato Ketchup!
Having had my root canal done on Monday to try and fix my dodgy tooth, I’ve been sticking to soft foods all week to give it chance to settle properly. Decidedly hungry I got the bag of frozen chips out the freezer, and happened upon some onion rings too. I stuck the chips in the […]
I Don’t Use WordPress
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 […]
Sucks To Be You Now
The one major downside to offering free stuff — graphics; photography; tutorials; scripts or in this case: wordpress themes — is that there’s always someone out there willing to steal them, and then butcher the fuck out of them with their ugly stolen celebrity photos. So, Ana aka Evenso, age: “Old enough to know better” […]
Letter to Micro Mart
Karl and I purchase a computer-related magazine every week called Micro Mart. The ‘net geek that I am, I always head straight for the Internet articles and every single week by the time I’ve finished reading them I end up seething. Why? Because one particular employee of the magazine is constantly recommending deprecated, proprietary or […]

Frickin’ BE Browsing
I’ve been browsing around using BlogExplosion for the past 20 minutes or so, waiting for Karl to finish work. It’s ideal for moments like this when I’m bored out of my skull but can’t be arsed to do anything constructive like script writing.. only, there’s one big problem. I find an interesting blog, think of […]
Nothing’s Simple!
I can’t have a crochet hobby without some wool. Pretty obvious statement really, but a good point all the same. I went surfing for wool on the Internet yesterday with the preconception that I’d be able to find a website, specify whether I wanted thick or thin, choose a colour and have it sent. I […]
Server Issues
Site5 have decided that the server load on the old server was too high (seemed perfectly fast to me, but heyho) and they’ve migrated a load of accounts to a new server. Although by their own claims this is “transparent to you and your visitors” they have cocked up a few things including the domain […]
