Firefox Evangelism

I have to do a lot of my browsing at work now and, when I do, I am forced to use IE. It’s not my choice but there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. What has prompted today’s little grump is the increased incidence of the following:
I am starting to see a few [...]

MyWHATNow?

*WARNING* The following is a MySpace rant. Hardly original I know, but it had to be done.
I just had an experimental foray into MySpace - it turns out I know two people (and we’re talking ‘know’ in the sense that I’ve actually been down the pub with them) who have MySpace pages. Still fighting the [...]

Lazy Monday Afternoon

So it’s a bank holiday Monday and the sun is actually shining. This is an odd enough occurrence to make me doubt that it really is a bank holiday Monday, then I do the checks …

Not waking up till gone 11.30 after staying up till 2am drinking wine, watching bad movies, and eating cheesecake. Check.
Spending [...]

Reunion

Why is it that the people you want to get back in contact with are never the people who have their details listed in the alumni database?
It’s always the sad people you would never want to talk to again who have their contact details listed…
Actually, strike that last sentence, seeing as how I have my [...]

Sunday Roast: never question the cosmic law of french toast

I’m in the midst of the most almighty spam flood at the moment - we’re talking tens of pieces a minute. I’m shutting comments off on the posts that seem to be attracting the most attention and watching my moderation and Akismet queues like a hawk. There’s not really much else I can do. I’m [...]

Mr Motivator Required

I’m sitting here, knowing I have work to do, yet somehow… Not doing any bloody work.
The problem is motivation. I’ve been in this job since the middle of June and, quite simply, have got out of it pretty much all there is to. When I have a big project or task to do, something to [...]

Ever wanted to hear a Wurzel cow?

Moose emailed me this yesterday and I was skeptical, till I heard odder than usual sounds issuing from her side of the flat, inquired, and discovered she was trying to tell the difference between coo moos.
Yes, you heard me. Cow sounds.
So of course, I had to check the story out for myself - Cows [...]

Dentist

Went to the dentist today and I swear I spent longer having her tilt the chair back (any further and my legs would have been above my head) than I did with the dentist actually looking in my mouth. Not that that’s a bad thing - I’m good to go and still filling free for [...]

Firefox question for you all

Is there an easy way to get my bookmarks from Firefox into Safari?
Whilst I am in love with the extensibility of Firefox (oh, my beloved spellchecker plugin for one!), I was curious when I read this article. So I nuked the offending icon database (it was 6.8mb :O !), fired up Safari, and am just [...]

Monday Update and Gym Tracking

I was brought up to believe if a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well, if you’re going to fall off the wagon, you should fall off it big time. And I fell of it so hard this weekend I’m surprised I didn’t break something.
