This news story is brilliant (I can’t get it to work on Firefox, though). Someone’s invented a computer game which allows you to track the movements of a hamster as it chases food – and to control that food as if it’s your game character. The article explains it a lot better than I can. […]

Rather than a dull rambling geek, which is what I *thought* I was. It’s quite reassuring. And means I can justify blogging at work while I wait for the kettle to boil and things – “honest, I’m on the bleeding edge and shaping trends with my opinionated spoutings on web content”. I’m not sure all […]

This has got to be a bad thing, right? That I can’t seem to survive a weekend off without descending into mind-numbing boredom? I’d like to think that’s because I have a massive mental capacity which, in the absence of a multitude of incredibly stimulating problems, rapidly gets a bit mardy and punishes me. But […]

I’m bored. Utterly, utterly bored. And that’s dangerous. Because this keeps calling to me. No way I need one, or can afford one, but mmmm. Shiny. Pros: I could test websites on a Mac and surf the internet watching TV. And it’s pretty. Cons: I don’t need one, can’t afford one, and I have better […]

30 boxes online calendar and Google’s calendar (which was launched very recently) are a couple of web apps I’d not seen before but which are damn clever. I’ll have a proper play with them when I’m not at work and having my lunch break, which I am now. Honest.

Coming soon, an article I’ve written all about how great I think The Sun newspaper is, and how web content editors could learn a lot from them. Should be available as a PDF download in a few days, when my server’s up and running again. I’ll post a link on here so if you want […]

You’d never think it would happen but you see it all the time. With websites too – decision makers wanting bells and whistles without looking at the implications for keeping the site ticking over – or even what the end user gets out of the experience. Still, it happens in every industry. A while ago […]

And so it begins… I’ve decided that sitting on an idea for seven years plus will just lead to me never doing it, and regretting that. So I’m trying to fulfil my aim of having at least one more gig with a band. That’s right – I’m looking to start my band, Cheesehelmet Nosebleed, and […]

Scaryduck: Not Scary. Not a Duck. Ha ha ha – I will add this game to the “Benny Hill” game I play. The “Benny Hill” game involves allowing the Benny Hill music to run free through your head at times of stress – meetings, bad TV, driving, etc… it works very well during adverts for […]

It’s funny how they roll around almost weekly now, isn’t it? Not updated the blog for a while – and I’m not sure why not. It’s not like I’ve been doing anything particularly useful with my time lately; reading a lot, going out a bit, sleeping, drinking cider (nice cider – Magners – not White […]
