We’ve got a handful of songs to sing you (Handful of Songs (Granada TV - 1971-1980))
The OmniFocus Cometh
11·Mar·07
I simply cannot wait for this to come out. Please let me be a beta tester, please let me be a beta tester...
Speed up Safari
11·Mar·07
Safari on my Mac had recently become intolerably slow. Here’s how I restored it to its former speedy glory…
PostSecret
11·Mar·07
I love PostSecret. It doesn’t need mentioning just quite why it’s so pleasurable reading the secrets thousands of people mail in each week. Quite staggering that so many people do, but even more staggering the levels of sheer creativity, angst, joy… hell, just feelings that people can bring together on one small postcard. I love it.
I have no desire to mail in one of my own, mind – I couldn’t think of anything even approaching the kind of stuff folks post to the site. But reading other people’s is great!
Do yourself a favour: subscribe to the PostSecret RSS feed and get a fresh batch of guilty wonderment delivered to the newsreader of your choice, every Sunday.
Being available
7·Mar·07
I received rather a haranguing on my answering machine today about my unavailability to answer the phone. Strangely, I found this quite upsetting, and not just because the person was a friend.
I’m going to form a band
2·Mar·07
Apart from the fact that I’ve spent half my life in bands (though not for the last 5 years or so) I really want to start a band again. The one reason? I’ve got a great band name!
My 4 year old daughter was asking this morning for a ‘choc chip cookie‘, except that there was no way she could say it properly, kept coming out as ‘chip chop chuckie‘.
Chip Chop Chuckie! Fantastic.
“Ladies and gentlemen. Please be upstanding for the one, the truly awesome, the one you’ve all been waiting for – Chip Chop Chuckie!!!“
“Woooo hooooooo!!! Yeaaaaahhhhhh!!” (crowd go generally wild, etc…)
Chip Chop Chuckie. Remember you heard it here first : )
Quite sickening
27·Feb·07
Victoria Beckham signs £10m deal to have cameras 'follow her around' when she moves to the US. Ten. Million. Pounds. A criminal waste of money.
Scrabble Wabble Wabble
25·Feb·07
Play Scrabble online - against yourself, or friends, or against strangers. Even save state of game to return to later. Awesome!
“The first time I realised I was gay…”
17·Feb·07
No, I’m not gay. But starting up this blog again reminds me of a classic scene from the sadly now defunct BBC comedy ‘The Vicar of Dibley’.
New Dutch accessibility laws
17·Feb·07
The new Dutch accessibility laws for websites are nothing short of amazing. Governments the world over should take note and put similar implementations into place. Immediately.
Bionic eye implants
16·Feb·07
A bionic eye implant that could help restore the sight of millions of blind people could be available to patients within two years. Ain't technology wonderful?
Chinese man to hang for ant scam
15·Feb·07
The story in this case is actually as wildly interesting as it sounds! £200,000,000, suicide, giant ants...
Building Rails on Mac OS X
15·Feb·07
I've tried building a Rails environment twice already on my Mac - this post by Dan Benjamin made it third time lucky, and a breeze too.
