I thought I’d probably better post something up to let you know what we’ve been doing this week! On Sunday, as I mentioned before, we went down to see Philippa’s parents. We were there until Wednesday. It was rather nice actually, as well as having a break we were able to be productive by talking…

Ok, I know that this is still technically “bank holiday weekend” because it hasn’t finished yet, but I thought I’d post something up anyway. What’s been going on this long weekend? Well. On Friday we went to the Good Friday service (see my last post). On Saturday we went into town, did a bit of…

We went to a Good Friday service today. It was called “An Hour at the Cross”, looking at Psalm 22. It put me in quite a contemplative mood… well, that and having to study for the Moore Course exam we’re doing tomorrow morning! So I thought I’d post something up contemplative. Who has believed our…

I thought I’d probably better post up a quick note to say that Philippa and I have made an offer on a house, and it has been accepted 🙂 We made an offer towards the end of last week, and it was accepted on Saturday. We are currently in the process now of dealing with…

It’s been a while since I did a “The Weekend” post, and this was a rather unusual weekend, so I thought I’d write one for a change 🙂 On Friday evening we went out for a meal at Sloppy Joe’s, along with a bunch of other people (Alex, Chris, Dan, Alison, Steve, Karen, Anne-Marie…). It…

*sigh* Why is it that you can spend an hour trying to do something such as… oh, I don’t know… restoring a corrupt Subversion database, you don’t have any success in an hour’s work, but once you get home you manage it in about five minutes? Not that it’s ever happened to me, of course…

It’s probably a bit late really to be posting up my regular “The Weekend” post. So I’ll just post up a couple of other random things instead! I bought a couple of new CDs at the weekend: “Stop the Clocks” by Oasis, and “Black Holes and Revelations” by Muse. The Oasis album is great –…

What does your website look to those who are colour blind? Have a look through the eyes of this website – it’s quite an eye opener! The reason I mention this is because I think accessibility is important to the modern WWW, and the more web designers that start embracing the Web Accessibility Initiative the…

I’ve been learning some Python recently. I have to say, I rather like it: it’s very flexible, very quick to develop, and very powerful. It’s also object-oriented, which is a real plus in my book (although you don’t have to use the objected oriented features, for example if you’re writing a small-ish script). It’s very…

Well, thank goodness for that – the Chinese Government haven’t blocked my website. How do I know this? The Great Firewall of China. Obviously they don’t consider me a threat… little do they know that’s exactly what I want them to think! Muahahahahahaha!!!! Normal service will resume as soon as we’ve figured out what ‘normal’…
