We’re at the seaside… let’s sit in the car eating chips
Today I paid a visit to a place called Aldeburgh, a seaside town. It’s where some relations are—as they do every summer—renting a house for a horrifically high amount of money. And yes, I found it a fairly pleasant excursion, even if it did require a two-hour car journey both coming and going.
Much as I [...]
A triumph and a titivation
Yesterday was a monumental day in the history of this blog, for two reasons. Okay, not quite monumental, but that got you excited, did it not?
The triumph
First and foremost, I was dizzy with joy to read that my article on sandwich fillings had won a small pseudo-competition on Upstart Blogger. Terrific. I’ve got a little [...]
Organised socks
I recently purchased seven pairs of snazzy, cotton-rich socks from Marks & Spencer. (Yes, I just spent a good few minutes trawling their website to find the exact same pair. I typed the product code in from the original packaging and everything. Madness.) Since my sock collection had been until then a calamity, consisting of [...]
I’m back
This is an extremely boring article to let you know that this little piggy has returned from his trip to Liverpool, that pseudo-holiday which I detailed in the previous update.
I’m not going to tell you all the gory details. This is because the trip was about as gory as a teddy-bears’ tea party. (That is, [...]
I’m in Liverpool
’Ello, ’ello, ’ello! ’Tis I, the author, ’ere—except it’s not. For, at present, I’m sort-of holidaying over in the fine city of Liverpool, without internet access.
Don’t get your knickers in a twist, though—it’s not my ghost writing this, or something equally mind-numbingly crazy. This post is brought to you by the future posts feature of [...]
Congratulations
There’s nothing like a nice competition, and the one I’ve been running—in which you can win the domain name cofreehost.com—has been a tremendous success. A whopping three people entered (excluding rish22, who failed to put the word “asparagus” in her entry, and hence wasn’t entered. No asparagus, no entry—rules are rules).
But all good things come [...]
Cracking on
I fell down the stairs this evening. I’m okay, though, you’ll be glad (or disappointed) to hear. None of my limbs fell off, or anything. I stayed the right way up. I just sort of slid—like a wheel-free version of the perambulator in The Battleship Potemkin—landing with a thunk against the door. If our staircase [...]
Its tim too show ruhsed bog potss the door
On Sunday, I wrote something about Browsershots—a free tool for seeing what a website looks like in different web browsers. And, I have to say, what I wrote was rubbish.
Okay, it wasn’t too bad. But, in my opinion, it could have been a whole lot better. There are heaps of things I forgot to mention, [...]
The redesign and the WordPress theme
The current design of this blog isn’t bad, if I do say so myself. It’s inoffensive. There isn’t so much as a whiff of Comic Sans MS or gaudy, flashing animated clip-art. But it’s just a bit bland.
I like simple, minimalist designs. However, I fancy having a go at knocking together something a bit more [...]
Test your site in multiple browsers with Browsershots
Today, my friends, I’d like to draw your attention towards a magical thing called Browsershots. For those who make websites, it could be a terrific tool.
But what is Browsershots? Well, that’s a good question, best answered by this from the Browsershots home page:
Browsershots makes screenshots of your Web design in different browsers. It is a [...]
