No Plan Survives Saturday
Sunday, March 19th, 2006Well today was supposed to be a shopping, washing and site content day. It turned into a sleeping in, shopping, washing, php, xhtml and css day instead. I now have breadcrumb trails coded. Both sorts. And I’ve validated my XHTML and CSS at W3. I’m going to play with another ideas I had for a […]
A Little Perl of a Script
Saturday, March 18th, 2006We were supposed to be going out for a drink from work tonight but it got cancelled 🙁 So instead I spent a few hours this evening playing with a Perl script I used back on my old spodbox site called Groan. I’d forgotten how much fun it was to see what sort of weird […]
Civ IV Not So Bad
Thursday, March 16th, 2006I’ve played a few more games through of Civ IV and I’ve decided I like it after all. Playing it on a harder level that actually challenges me makes it a lot more interesting. Thinking back when I first played Civ it was a hard slog even on its easiest level to start with. The […]
Real Life More Unbelievable than Fiction
Wednesday, March 15th, 2006This news story from the BBC tickled me. I know it’s really potetially serious but it just sounds like it came out of a sitcom set in a school. School’s WWII bomb polished off
Content, Content, Content
Wednesday, March 15th, 2006After watching CSI last night (finally this season seems to have gotten going with last night’s episode) I set to work pulling content for my new site together. Some articles I wrote for Valkyrie, some stuff I wrote for defunct web sites, some of my pictures and some stuff from my old web site. Then […]
No Bifrost 2006
Tuesday, March 14th, 2006As readers of the SFSFW’s mailing list will now know we’ve had to cancel our annual show this year 🙁 The hall we’ve used for several years hiked the price and couldn’t supply us with the facilities we needed. After a two month search we haven’t found a replacement venue. So no Bifrost 2006 but, […]
Battleship Potemkin Moment
Tuesday, March 14th, 2006Life imitated art this morning in a little way. As I was walking to work a woman was sorting out her toddlers gloves and hats by a shop door. She had a push chair trapped against her foot. A gust of wind caught it and blew it away towards a slip road that runs along […]
FFSDiNoaN has a Name.
Monday, March 13th, 2006I think I’ve found an appropriate name for FFSDiNoaN. I’ve started replacing modern English place holder names for concepts from an older, nearly gone culture with old English I’ve picked a name from Old English. “Ãrǽdan” which means Prophecy. So unless I come up with something better thats the new working title for the story.
Image Good. Background Bad.
Sunday, March 12th, 2006After an afternoon spent making cogs in Cinema 4D and a rendering them in Vue 5 Infinite and I had a nice image to use a background for my new web site. Unfortunately all it does when added to the page is either interfere with the readability of the text if its big enough to […]
CSS Hacking
Sunday, March 12th, 2006Fought against the cold and managed to spend a few hours hacking CSS. I’m a lot closer to having my new web site’s design done now. Just playing with background images to give it more visual interest. I don’t think I’ve used a background image on a site since sometime in 1997. I may not […]
