Hotlinking is bad but I can make it worse
I feel so ashamed. I’ve just been extremely bad. Someone in Brazil changed their theme on blogspot and very nice it is too I have to say. His design is excellent but for one thing. He is hotlinking to an image on my server. I’m getting hundred of hits for it so I figured I [...]

So they want us to bit the bullet eh?
The dreaded April fools day arrives tomorrow, a week late. Of course I’m talking about tomorrow’s impending budget that is.

Man-Flu, a chest infection and a car rolling over my foot
I’ve just had an horrific few days. It stated on Wednesday when all of a sudden I started really craving cigarettes even if I was smoking one at the time. It didn’t take long for me to cop on that this was “my sign.” For some odd reason just as I’m about to come down [...]

Adobe Flash is crap except for this hamster
In the normal run of things I rank Adobe Flash as one of the most hateful creations in the history of the planet, universe or whatever. Strangely my next most hateful creation is Adobe Acrobat Reader. Coincidence? Mind you, every now and then something comes along to remind you that maybe Adobe Flash is not [...]
