Spike Milligan
Apparently some of Spike Milligan’s work is “going mobile” – i.e. being released as mobile ringtones, wallpapers etc. In order to celebrate the occasion I decided to post up a few Spike Milligan quotes: Contraceptives should be used on every conceivable occasion. Are you going to come along quietly, or am I going to have

Caching
I’ve added caching to this blog using the excellent WP-Super-Cache plugin for WordPress, after reading yesterday’s blog post by Jeff Atwood. I don’t know whether it will make much difference in terms of what you actually notice, but it will at least help out in the extremely unlikely event that this site gets a large

What the heck is going on with Firefox?
I don’t know what’s been going on with Firefox lately, but it’s crashed quite a few times. This is unusual – normally it’s pretty rock solid for me: although it’s slower than other browsers, it is at least fairly stable. But the past few weeks, on my work PC it crashes occasionally when I’m trying

Weddingy Weekend
This weekend was quite… “weddingy”. I know that’s not a word, but I just made it up. So there. On Friday night we didn’t have much in the way of weddings to do – Phil was out helping at the Fordham youth group 21, and I … well, I stayed in and didn’t do much!

From Pink to Apricot
Well, I suppose it’s time to post up a quick review of what happened last week! Philippa’s parents came up to help us do some decorating – we wanted to do the whole of the spare room in one week. The spare room had previously been rather a bright shade of pink, so we wanted

I wish all covers were this good
Covers of songs, that is to say. In my guitar learning, I’ve been looking out some old songs to play, and I came across Joe’s “committee song” (to the tune of “Can’t take my eyes off of you” by Andy Williams)… it certainly brought back a few memories (“At last Linja’s arrived / at just

New Article: The Ten Commandments – Idolatry
I’ve written a new article on FocusOnFaith entitled “The Ten Commandments, Part II: Idolatry“. If you enjoyed the previous article in the series, why not pop over and have a read? Let me know what you think by leaving a comment or starting a new thread in the forum (hint hint).

Decorating Week
As I may have already mentioned, this week we are off work to do some decorating. Phil’s parents are up and are helping us out. We’ve been quite productive so far! The main goal of this week is to repaint the violently pink room (otherwise known as the spare room). We bought some paint at
