I only write occasionally here now, as you will see. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, which are all still accessible.

How does that work then?
Currently the number of downloads of my Facebook Photo Uploader stands at 47. And yet… there are three users. How is that supposed to work then? I’m wondering if it’s some automated web crawler which has picked up the link from here… seems strange that they would download something like that though! I’m just trying…

Last week…?
Hmm, I just realised that I didn’t write my customary “The Weekend” post this weekend. Well, I’m afraid that it was such a long time ago I can’t really remember much of what happened! It did involve going over to my parents’, as it was my Dad’s birthday. It also involved watching “Hot Fuzz” on…

Facebook Uploader available for download
I mentioned a little while back that I was writing a Java desktop application which could be used if you wanted to upload photos to Facebook (if, like me, you had trouble using the Facebook-provided uploader applet). Anyway, I have put the project onto Google Code, and created a release (beta). So, if you want…

Update on eBay auctions…
I mentioned in my previous blog post that I was selling a couple of speakers and an amp on eBay. These have now been sold to one of my friends, so I’ve pulled the auction. Apologies to anyone who was interested! Regular readers will know that we are currently in the process of buying a…

The Weekend, and Facebook
Ok, firstly, a quick update on what happened over the weekend! On Friday evening, Phil’s sister Roz came up to stay with us. We didn’t do much on Friday as Phil was at a church music practice, we just watched a couple of episodes of “Spaced” and … well, that’s about it really. On Saturday,…

Opera
You know, Opera. The browser, not “The Marriage of Figaro” kind. I downloaded it the other day because we were doing some testing at work, and there was a bug in a page which for some reason only happened in Opera (don’t worry, it wasn’t Opera’s fault…). Anyway, I decided to give it a go…

Development Ideas…
They say that necessity is the mother of invention. Well, I would like to modify that slightly: “necessity and annoyance are the mothers of invention”. If something is annoying enough, you’ll want to change it. I guess that’s not really invention, but still… There are a couple of things which have been annoying me recently,…

Bank Holiday Weekend
Firstly, I’d like to apologise for not updating very much recently… there hasn’t been very much to write about! This weekend has been fairly busy though, so I’ll try to recap. On Friday evening, a few people (Dan, Alison, and Alex) came round to have a curry and watch “Garden State”. The film was really…

The Weekend
Sorry for a rather late update this week! There’s no particular reason – it’s not been all that busy… I just haven’t got round to posting here! Ah well. Anyway, here’s a quick summary of the weekend: on Friday evening, Philippa went to stay with her parents for the weekend. This left me on my…
