For shiny things. I keep trying to justify getting one. There’s utterly no way – while the business is going to need a laptop of some description, being realistic a Windows box would be more convenient all round and a lot more affordable. If someone at the bank said “why a mac?” I doubt “because […]
No, that’s not how I feel – far from it, in fact – it’s Adobe’s new AJAX framework. Basically a JavaScript library for building AJAX pages, it’s a good preview and intro to AJAX, which is something I’ve not used but have seen being put to work on some excellent web apps. Flickr’s a prime […]
I’ve sadly had to reach the realisation that the Midget has to go. I can’t afford to keep it – not only am I insuring it, paying running costs, and renting a garage from the council at over £40 a month, but the money I could get from selling it would pay off my credit […]
I rock. Originally uploaded by Maltpress. I made this. Cheesehelmet Nosebleed are… well, a phenomenon. I’m not sure what to do with them. It’s like a one-man flash mob but without the mob and certainly without the flash part of it. Something like an art “happening” but comedy instead of art and it’s not really […]
Hurrah! Maltpress.co.uk is back up and running. My images are back on this blog, and it’s running smoothly again. All is good with the world. More updates soon.
Bonk seems to be my favourite word at the moment and I’m not sure why. Not in the naughtiness sense of the word, just as a word… it just makes me laugh. I’m going through something of a childish phase at the moment. So I thought I’d tell a story of terrible physical injury today. […]
Still no maltpress.co.uk or juicyfly.com sites at the moment, which is a shame because I’ve been working on a Cheesehelmet Nosebleed site. I’m planning to make them the biggest band that never was. It’s a pointless little fun project I’m just playing with. Part of it is making t-shirts and things using Cafepress, which turns […]
Metro rear wheel arch Originally uploaded by Maltpress. Hammer + Metro = bad. That’s what I learnt today. Hardly rocket science, I know, but there you go… I was trying to clean up the rusty bits a little. Somewhat encouraced by the bit at the front which I though would be awful being OK, I […]
It’s nearly the weekend! Hurrah. Only not. Only maybe hurrah. Weekends are a mixed bag for me. On the one hand, I’m not at work; on the other, I get bored. So I’m trying to plan ahead and make sure I have lots to do. More so this weekend as my brother’s away and I […]
And it never did me any harm Actually, we had books at university too, and I much preferred doing research like that. Why should schools be internet connected anyway? The internet can be a reasonable research tool but it’s only a small part of it. There’s so much rubbish out there that I don’t think […]
