I’ve been working away at those extra little bits on the site, you know all that fluff that makes you feel good about the amount of time you spend sitting in front of a computer screen. The latest installments apart from some style changes are the use of the various script.aculo.us Java scripts. First off we have the new AJAX powered search bar found on the home page, in the archives and on any...

Mint has just totally messed up on me! I have been running version 1.14 for quite a while now, I could not be bothered to update as it just seemed like a bit more extra work I could do without. Last night I was doing some file cleaning on the site and trying to fix the FAblum problem when I decided to bite the bullet and update, plus the list of peppers was getting better and only 1.2+...
I was going through some feeds earlier and notice a few interesting cycling related articles. RoadCyclingUK had their first look at the new Look 565 frame and fork. I was lucky enough to ride Dave’s 386 486 Look the other month and what a bike, but for me the money has to be on a tubular frame; think I’ve found a future frameset. Oakley are breaking into the hydration market. This is not a...
Last night I had a bit of blast on the site, trying to finish off some of the features I never had time to put in before it went live. We now have a AJAX powered search feature, currently it is only present on the home page and archive page, not sure if you need it in the side bar on every page or not? I’ve also sorted, well close too to sorted, the seperation of comments and pingbacks. The...
Over the week end my site has been hit my a massive spam offensive. My defenses against spam are not the greatest, if you have more than one link in your comment you get moderated. Apart from that I rely on the gods of online Casino’s to shine on me to protect my metadata. This current wave is a clever one and not relying on a link in the comment section but rather the link to online viagra stores...
According to Mint 50.9% of the visitors to my site use Internet Explorer (shame on you, browse happy!) needless to say you must cater for all users really and 50% is something you just cannot ignore. Chris brought to my attention that the site is not IE friendly, everything still displays, and you get the whole picture, just not the picture I intended you to see. If you are using IE, your screen...
My G5 has a problem, it won’t sleep. Since I’ve had a Mac I always sleep the machine rather than power off, not sure why but it just sounded like a good plan. It does not take so long to start up again so that’s a plus in my book! But for the last couple of days now it has been unwilling to just let go and put it’s head down. You select the sleep option and the screen blacks, you hear the noise of...
Yes most of the web and UK public are going on about this and that noise that sounds like pong, but what the hell does happen if the timer runs out? I never saw anything of the first season of Lost, I was always out or focused on something else, but you could not escape from the buzz and hype. Last night the first two episodes of season two were aired on Channel 4, but in the build up they have...
Today was the Spring 2006 reboot, finally my new theme goes live, well sort of. Drop me a vote here It is not 100% complete, I’d say about 85% (I love making up figures) I still have some navigation links to complete. I’m not happy with the commenting and there needs to be a search feature and improved Archives but apart from that my first theme from the ground...
Unless you have had your head in the sand for a few days you are probably aware of the name change to the new Nintendo console. The old name; Revolution, is out and up steps; Wii. Nope you read right, Wii. It is pronouced we rather wie and there are some good reasons behind it. David B has a good post going on over at davidbabylon.com which details a lot of links regarding this change, also the...
