Ok, a really really short Roast today. It’s just been a slow news week is all.
To pad things out a bit, here is what else I have learnt this week - webcams are evil (but good, if that makes sense), skype is great, Yahoo!IM is probably one of the most infuriating programs I have ever [...]

A short saying oft contains much wisdom
Wiki wiki everywhere, and not a drop of commonsense to be found
(Took me five minutes to log in to post this. I think my server and WordPress are ganging up on me to make sure I finish writing the my chapter by the end of the day. Evil.)
I have been watching the whole WIkipedia/Seigenthaler debacle like an avid hawk for many reasons, not just because it [...]
leave now, before I set about you with a plaster rhinoceros!
I just have to say, I love stylesheets and CSS.
Altered two variables, and voila. Pinkness reigns.
(If you are reading this in the archives, read the comments on this linked to post. Somebody dared me that I wouldn’t do something… So I made it look all nice and pink. For a time.)

Just a few little things to say today.

I suddenly don’t like using a Mac.
This is a serious thing for me to say, almost heretic, so I will explain.
What with the CC back in Canada till who knows when, I am being initiated in the wonders of Skype. Whilst this is great for voice, on occasion it would [...]

Today’s Sunday Roast. Small, but perfectly formed - rather like myself actually.
Enjoy, and forget not the leftovers.
