The online playground of a digital cowboy and consummate athlete.

ok then I won't use the computer

I came in from work hoping to spend a few mintues working on the new style and tidying up the code here but it looks like some one had some better idea’s. Nice but not really handy, especially as she has worked out if you stand on enough keys the machine makes some funny...

virus warnings

I recieved an email from one of our suppliers at work the other day, warning me of a virus doing the rounds. They warned me of a nasty virus based upon a Budweiser frog screensaver and how not to download it but please pass this on to all your friends as it is a new alert and we should make everyone aware blah blah blah… This hoax has been around for years, I mean years, all it does it take up...

New style and code

Following on from my post about asides I’ve had a look at trying to create something else. Those of you in the know will clearly see the similar layout to that of Michael’s recent Invader style. Yup that is the inspiration, I’m not going to try and hide it, however I will point out that I’ve not ripped his code or ‘borrowed’ CSS file’s (well clearly looking at the layout) I have spent the time...

Welcome back Mr. Freeman

Lucy shocked me to bits the yesterday by returning home with some curtain liners (yep I was that impressed) but also a copy of Half Life 2 (now I was impressed by that!) Half Life 2 has been knocking about the pc world for a while now and is no doubt last months news, but for those of us who enjoy the pleasures of a Mac can only wait until it was released on the Xbox. Of course the graphics are...

it's the little things

that make a difference. sitting in a classroom this evening I was thinking about things, you know; life, love the universe and it it suddenly hit me; sidebar on the left. you never know it might catch on, if nothing else it’s different. now all I need to do is finally get some of these other ideas down in writing, then convert them to code and finally try styling this...

doh, ray, egon!

I’m having one of those lazy Friday night’s in, it has been a busy old week and I thought I could do with a nice quiet relaxing time. Low and behold to make the evening prefect Channel4 are showing Ghostbusters, such a classic film. and the flowers are still...

This Page Is Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional!

no not this page, you must be joking! But I have created my first site that passed with flying colours. OK it’s not much and no big deal but it does make you feel better when the Validator comes back with that nice green bar. For most of the day I have been working on a new site for Oscar Products (the place I work) and thought it would be nice to make it all valid now, it looks good from a...

The First Frost

The other day I woke to be greated by the first blanket of white in the autumn. So far we have had a very mild October followed by a similar beginning to November, finally the temperature has dropped and it would appear to be back to normal. Personally I’m not a fan of the cold, I need by warmth, but it has been eerie still riding about in summer short clothing and not worrying about the...

Semer Hill Climb

This morning I took part in my first cycling event. Since I started cycling the plan was always to have a good 8 months of training and getting used to the scene and pick up the racing at the begining of next years season. However thanks to my inability to say ‘NO’ and Brian gently pushing me along I signed up for the local Hill Climb event. The race was held by Sudbury Cycle Club and was an open...

Wi-Fi service for the DS

Nintendo’s Wi-Fi Connection network for its DS consoles will launch November 25 # Could be interesting as I’ve already tried just about everything to link it in with my home network, well it has been getting darker earlier so my mind...
