Epic, EPIC FAIL!

January 23, 2009

Do you remember last week, when I went through a bit of boring admin, and I told you all that once a year I tend to get a bit bored and like to play with things in the background? Well, I decided to have a little play with things in the background. And I fucked [...]

Scaryfied to death!

January 20, 2009

“Why is he still outside?” I asked. “He’s been out there ages.” “He’s scarifying the lawn.” I had never heard the term scarifying before, and it sounded absolutely terrifying.  I had images of my friend jumping out on the lawn shouting “Boo!” or running around with a sheet over his hard pretending to be a [...]

A bit of boring admin

January 15, 2009

Once a year I look at this website and think, “Jesus it’s looking tired, perhaps I can jazz it up a bit?” I then spend a few hours teaching myself basic CSS code, testing a few things, fucking it up royally, before finally admitting that I am never going to be a website designer. So [...]

Festive Salutations!

December 24, 2008

It is that time of year again where people give gifts and presents and hope against hope that the presents received this year are not total shite.  I am beyond that of course, as I recognise that at twenty-thirteen it is unlikely I am going to be very excited by any present I receive.  Unless [...]

Podcast delayed!

December 16, 2008

Unfortunately, Cliff has come down with a debilitating lurgy which I am in no hurry to catch, so the recording of this week’s podcast has been postponed until he recovers.  Or I find a replacement co-presenter, though don’t hold your breath, as good help is hard to find. In the meantime, I have put together [...]

Feed problems

December 12, 2008

Any of you that read this site via the RSS feeds probably won’t be reading this, as they have stopped working. This also applied to any podcast subscribers. The emails between myself and my host discussing the issue are, at best, incomprehensible. They tend to begin with, “We think it might be…” and end with [...]

A million people against DEATH!

December 4, 2008

Facebook can be a right pain in the arse sometimes.  Endless requests to be a pirate, play poker, send a virtual hug, or join cause X due to recent outrageous incident Y.  It is exhausting. Other times, it can be an extremely useful tool to affect societal change.  During this week’s podcast our discussion moved [...]

The Voices

November 28, 2008

I had a killer post lined up for you today, but because it included a photo I took with my phone, my web host is now telling me that I have exceeded some quota or other which means you get a text only blog post today.  I will post it next week when all is [...]

Innocent Pains

November 24, 2008

We all have secret guilty pleasures. These are the things we enjoy, that we would rather people not know about.  Whether that be something perfectly normal for a 33 year old man like enjoying a bubble bath, to something completely heinous like owning all James Blunt’s albums. But what about Innocent pains?  By this, I [...]

Milestones

October 22, 2008

There are moments in a man’s journey, when he feels like he is passing from one phase of his life, to the next. It can be triggered by something small, but the dawning realisation of what is happening can be huge.  Which is what happened last Saturday when I found myself in town, shopping.  For [...]
