Life, motorbikes, and random thoughts

Sonic!

Remember Sonic on the megadrive? Well I do and it rocked. Go play

Patent wars

Ok this is important for us developers, geeks and internet types. The EU's bad enough without this kind of thing...

Ha!

A quote from my Dad: "Man's drive to do fuck all is the most powerful thing in the universe...."

Relief

*Phew* Whilst working on the next iteration of my blogging application I managed to break the existing one and I couldn't blog for a while. But it's fixed now. Yay! So more more words of um wisdom (or other stuff) will…

Overwhelmed

Too much to blog about today... Hard to know what to say first

Cool idea

There's a new site idea in beta that I really like, called "twinkler". The idea being that it's a repository and directory of life goals (or even little goals) that anyone can add to and is fun to browse. I love the…

Web credibilty

So the debate on "web credibility" continues and now I'm starting to see what the argument's about. There is an article on Digital Web Magazine that clarifies nicely what the debate's really about. I originally…

Weirdness

What is it with the design world this week? There's a really strong dichotomy in the blogs of the uber trendy. One half of the community is talking about "web credibility" (Asterisk, Bokardo etc) and the other half is…

Firefox 1

About time...

As you may have noticed I've got around to some updating that really needed doing around here. My Dad's blog is now in the site navigation. The last of the CSS rules that I deleted have been added back in. My CV's a…

Partisan?

Oh you gotta love this: Google takes sides? I am a little suprised by this as it could be seen as partisan on behalf of Firefox. But then again Firefox is undeniably a better browser than Internet Explorer and Google…

Ewww

Man! I just had the worst food poisoning ever. In the past I've chucked up once or twice and thought that was food poisoning. How wrong was I?

Made it!

My one reader will be pleased to see that I'm back from the West country safe and sound. It was fun, except for my 1 hour diversion into wild Wiltshire... Said goodbye to Keith, I shall miss him.

Gulp

Hmm. I'm about to ride to Bristol on a 125... So if this blog is never updated again you know why. ;)

Tickled

This is for my Dad, it may help during the next tornado season. "I think it should be a law that if you ever get sucked up into a tornado, whatever you can grab with your hands while you're swirling around up there, you…

Addictive stuff

Hey! Look what I just found: It's a list of "available domain names of the week". I took one look and suddenly I wanted to buy lots of them. Images of possible designs and site ideas were flashing before my eyes! What a…

Yahoo

A few weeks ago there was a big fuss about Yahoo's new, mainly, CSS driven redesign. Well I've just noticed that it's changed further. It's cleaner and more in keeping with modern web design. Looking at the source there…

Fed up now

I can't wait for the US election to be over. I don't care who wins, I never have cared who wins. Whichever party get's in US foreign policy will be as ham-fisted as it ever was; and that's the only thing that bothers me…

Standards stuff

Good beginners article on a new site I've found called Orderedlist.com. We often forget that all this CSS stuff can be confusing to newcomers so it's good to put stuff out there to help people get to grips with web…

Sigh

There's so much to learn! Everytime I go look at another developers site or pick up a techy book I realise just how much there is still to learn. I know it's one of the reasons I got into this game; that I wanted the…
