Did anyone else think that episode of Torchwood last night (or on Sunday night, if you’ve got BBC3) was lame? Let me just run through it. ‘Fairies’ were the subject of the episode. So what do we know about them? Next to nothing, aside from the fact that they like to play ‘games’ with people…

I came across an absolutely fantastic website today. It’s a satirical website, with the premise that Microsoft have taken over Mozilla Firefox. It contains such gems as a “Googling filter”. “What is a Googling filter?”, I hear you ask. Here is the answer from their FAQ: Microsoft Firefox 2007 Professional offers dynamic security protection to…

… sorry about the random headline, but it’s been one of those days. It feels like I’ve been interrupted once every five minutes, meaning that I haven’t actually managed to get any work done at all! Doh! Anyway. What did we get up to this weekend? Well. On Friday we didn’t do much… on Saturday,…

I got around to thinking the other day… why is it that no-one seems to have time for anything anymore? I’m not talking about time, I’m talking about time. Let me explain by giving an example. I work for quite a small company. We do a fair amount of bespoke development, i.e. software which people…

Forgot to mention this in my last post — I read a rather humorous and uncomplimentary critique of Torchwood this morning. It’s written in a pseudo-“Torchwood Script” kind of style… sort of. Anyway, if you’ve seen Torchwood, have a read (it won’t make much sense otherwise!)

Oh dear, no posts last week! Well, here’s another “The Weekend” post anyway, I’ll try and post something different up this week… On Friday evening, we didn’t do much (i.e., food shopping! Nothing exciting). On Saturday we spent some time in town. We bought some new clothes, and had a rather nice drink in Costa…

Just a quick post about what I got up to this weekend! It wasn’t very much really, as will become apparent (how’s that for a teaser, eh?) On Friday night, we went to Ipswich to have dinner with my parents, and then load up a van they hired with our new suite. Some people we…

Just a quick note to let you know that (if you haven’t heard through other channels), Firefox Version 2.0 has been released! Some of the new features include spellchecking, phishing protection, web feeds etc. If you’re a Firefox user, upgrade today! If you’re not a Firefox user, feel free to ignore this message (unless you’ve…

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…
