CSS Tweaking
Sunday, May 16th, 2010I’ve made a few minor CSS tweaks here. A little one should give the breadcrumb trail at the top of the page a bit more space when it gets long so it doesn’t do weird things. The bigger tweak is adding some conditional CSS that should (hopefully) imporve the display of the site for Internet […]

WordPress 404 Errors for Spam Comments
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010Ever since I rebuilt my website with WordPress and imported my blog from blogspot I’ve kept an eye on my server error logs. I like to make sure people who arrive here from the old blog or from other links end up where they were looking to go. While I’ve redirects that catch almost all […]
Fall of the Goblin Empire
Thursday, April 29th, 2010Fall of the Goblin Empire (FoGE) is my entry for the SFSFW’s fantasy wargaming competition. A game of goblins and their varigated, varied and highly unreliable flying machines. Here are a couple of the opening paragraphs that set the scene for a game of goblins going up-tiddle-ee-up coming down-tiddle-ee-down-down… Ask anyone and they will tell […]
Doctor Who: The Time of Angels
Saturday, April 24th, 2010Wow that went fast! One of the best signs of a really good drama is that it feels like it was shorter than it was. Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy always felt twenty minutes long. Tonight’s Doctor Who clocked in at 40 minutes but felt like 30. First there was River’s demonstration of how […]

Add this is History
Monday, April 19th, 2010Until today I’d included the Add this Button on both this site and on my unofficial Vue News blog. Having looked at the usage I’ve taken it off this blog. Quite simply, despite having tried it in a few different places, it wasn’t being used. On Vue News it gets a low level steady stream […]
Doctor Who: Victory of the Daleks
Saturday, April 17th, 2010So we got jammy dodgers, Where Eagle Dare, Asimov, Troughton and Daleks references for fun. Nice Dalek model on the plotting table to set them up and I thought the olive drab Daleks looked really good with the little Union Jack. The new look Daleks don’t look quite so good. I wonder if the main […]
Gzip Go Faster Stripes
Wednesday, April 14th, 2010In an effort to make this site a bit more of a Quatro and less of an Austin 1100 I’ve painted gzip go faster striped down the side of all the html, css and js files it serves up tonight.
