I'll be Back
Tuesday, March 6th, 2007Bad, Ugly Orange (there isn’t anything good about them at the moment) have had a week to try and fix whatever they’ve done to their service. Tech support has been a joke of doing the same set of tasks that assume I’ve got a fault and refusing to actually run a line check. Since I’m […]
Tim Berners-Lee v Congress
Friday, March 2nd, 2007I was checking some technical documents on the W3C web site and ran across this news report earlier " Tim Berners-Lee Speaks on Future of the Web to US Congress". The image reminded me of the footage of the House Un-American Activities Committee that was used so effectivelly in Good Night and Good Luck. So […]
Broadband SNAFU
Thursday, March 1st, 2007My broadband connection is varying from slower than a snail to completely unavailable. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Until then I’m offline so if I don’t reply to an e-mail or a post or a comment it’s nothing personal.
Squid Quotient – Yet More Pointless Stuff
Wednesday, February 28th, 2007Found at Very True Things… Your Squid Quotient = 133.25 Interpreting your results: An average Squid Quotient is around 100. A SQ of 100 means you have a normal affinity for squid. A SQ above 100 means you have an attraction or fondness for squid. Below 100 means that you should probably stay away from […]
Cop Night #6
Sunday, February 25th, 2007I’d not planned on doing another Cop Night post. It was just a bit of a silly gimic last week knowing I’d see Hot Fuzz one night. However #6 just happened. First there was the sound of the police helicopter. Then sirens on the main road. Then more sirens. Then the police helicopter almost overhead. […]
Days Like This
Sunday, February 18th, 2007One of those days when life leaves me wondering if I should cry with joy or anger. North West Water achieved another little bit of incompetence after there earlier efforts by disconnecting the water supply today. I wouldn’t mind they told us they were going to turn it off. Except the leaflet said it would […]
My First Ajax Page
Friday, February 9th, 2007I’ve been looking at the open source xajax project for php for a couple of days. It’s a pretty straight forward way to add ajax to a PHP site without needing to know a lot of javascript. I’ve used it to enhance the front page of the meme machine tonight. Not the most complex of […]
Google Webmaster Tools now with better Link Tools
Tuesday, February 6th, 2007Just been trying out the new "Links" tab in the Google Webmaster Tools. Very useful. You can read about it on the Google Webmaster Central Blog – Discover your links
Fixing the Little Things
Monday, February 5th, 2007Just been fixing niggly little errors around my impworks web site. Putting permanant redirects into files that had moved from the old site back last year but which were now showing up in google’s web masters tools. The number of badly written tutorials and sites about using htaccess redirects amazes me. It’s not a hard […]
