I’ve only been using Internet Explorer 7 for a day or so and I’ve already found a bug. As you can see, the button is positioned nicely over the select box. The reason? The select box is empty on page load, but there is a JavaScript function which calls a remote method that populates the…

Bit of a random post, this, but nonetheless it does class as a “The Weekend” post so I shall begin by talking about what we got up to this weekend 🙂 On Friday evening, we went to see “The History Boys” at the cinema. More on that later. On Saturday, we spent most of the…

Well, it’s about time I posted something up about the latest phenomenon, Ruby On Rails. I downloaded and installed it earlier today, and went through one of the tutorials on the website. I am seriously impressed. I realise now why everyone’s been going on about it recently — it allows web development to be done…

I nearly forgot to do a “The Weekend” post today! Shocking, I know! Anyway… what did we get up to this weekend? Well. On Friday night, we went to Alex’s. We went to the chippie for dinner with Chris B, it was a very good dinner albeit rather huge! I think you get bigger portions…

“The way is shut. It was made by the dead, and the dead keep it. The way it shut.” So read Curly, Blondey and Shorty as they prepare to go and raise the undead army in “Lord of the Rings”. Why am I mentioning it? Well, I was thinking about it earlier as I came…

Apologies for the random title – this is my regular “The Weekend” post, but I just wanted to mention a new book I’ve just ordered from Amazon, entitled How to Survive a Robot Uprising. Needless to say, I had to buy it just because of the title… I can’t let something like that pass me…

… you wait ages for decent DVDs to come along, and then three come along at once! OK, there are only a couple I want to mention here, but still. I was browsing through Play.com, and I came across a couple of DVDs which I have now ordered 🙂 The first one is Green Wing…

So… it’s time for another “The Weekend” post! Yay! *ahem* On Friday, Philippa and I went to see “Clerks 2” at the cinema. More on that story later. On Saturday, we went into Norwich to get a wedding present for the people Phil is being a bridesmaid for in a couple of weeks (their wedding…
