Nothin’ Doin’

Sunday, November 28th, 2004

For the past week, I’ve been lying on my fat arse, not doing anything in particular. I’ve checked my email a few times, visited a few web sites, eaten some food and slept a whole lot, but other than that, bugger all.

I think for the sake of my sanity I’ll be going back to work tomorrow, regardless of the pain. I’m going bloody nuts here.

Ack.

Be like Blunkett!

If you want to have a try at being the paranoid home secretary, then this may be of some use.

Warning: may generate actual Home Office policies. You have been warned.

Get Firefox

Get the Firefox 1.0 browser. Why switch?

If you want to help promote Firefox too, why not sign up yourself?

Chicken Pox

Blunkett’s Shame

Wednesday, November 17th, 2004

I was reading both The Register’s most recent article and the NO2ID site (as posted on Cult Of The Inept) about that state-sponsored paranoid, David Blunkett, and his recent ID card bullshit, and thought I’d put in my 2p. (more…)

Look at the size of that thing!

The world’s biggest digital photo. Blimey!

Smoking ban

Tuesday, November 16th, 2004

I read in the yesterday’s Metro (so it must be true) that councils in Scotland own over £80m worth of shares in tobacco firms. Two faced bastards.

Trackbacks and Pingbacks and Blogs, oh my!

Tuesday, November 16th, 2004

I don’t usually consider myself a complete retard, but probably the single point of failure for my brain to comprehend this topic is where the hell does one actually use a pingback/trackback URI? (more…)

Flash 8 player

Tuesday, November 16th, 2004

After watching Colin Moock’s video about the features in the Flash player 8, I can’t help but be inspired back into Flash development. It helps when I read things like this and this, and from the rest of the Flash team at Macromedia themselves, and when I’m working on a new Flash based web site for Pure.

No, the one that’s there at the moment isn’t mine.
