What an incredible hue and cry! Wow. I heard about this from my Mum, who forwarded me on an email saying I should complain about it to the BBC. After having reading through some comments about it, here’s my take on the situation. I’m not sure whether complaining about it is a great idea… I…

Well, after having used Microsoft’s tired old Active Server Pages (ASP) to code my website for the past… oooh, five years? – I’ve decided to make the switch to PHP. In fact I’ve been doing PHP for a while now (I think I’ve mentioned it) — but the key point here is that my own…

If, like me, you use the excellent Mozilla Firefox for browsing the web, there’s a way of speeding it up a bit! — especially if you’re using broadband. Visit this page for instructions.

Hello people. I just thought I’d make a quick update to let you know that I am actually alive, that I did survive Christmas, but I just haven’t updated because I’ve been out and about! Christmas was good, it was nice to see family again 🙂 On Tuesday I went down to Philippa’s, and we…

I probably won’t update here tomorrow, so I’d just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone who reads this a very happy Christmas! Take care, and I’ll update in the new year. Or, um, even next week… 🙂

Simon’s only just found out about ‘French Military Victories’… for those of you who don’t know, this is an example of … um … I can’t remember exactly what it’s called, but manipulating the Google search engine. It works because of how the way Google indexes pages. If it finds quite a few pages linking…

I won’t really say much about it, because I didn’t do much! On Friday, Philippa came to Ipswich, and … um … we watched some ‘Family Guy’ and stuff. Nothing exciting! Then on Saturday, we … um … went back to Colchester. And then on Sunday, we went to Fordham for Lessons and Carols, and…

Well, here’s another treat for you: VLC Media Player… it’s a freeware media player for you 🙂 It’ll play all your standard stuff, as well as DVDs, VCDs etc… And this I found on El Reg’s Windows Downloads Site, featuring a whole bunch of freeware and shareware stuff. So go and check it out! You…

Some of you may have heard of Project Gutenberg. Basically, it’s a place where classic literature is posted, for free — because the copyright has expired, it’s totally above board! Anyway, I found a site like that, except for sheet music. Check out the Mutopia Project — there’s loads of good stuff on there! 🙂…

Well well well, three holes in the ground. Apparently you can buy dolls of Tony Blair (scroll down a bit)! I would never have believed it… thanks to Zeth’s Blog for letting me know about it 🙂
