On a quiet Sunday morning I was going through my photo library and uploading the ones that got left behind only to find that Flickr Uploader has been updated. Version 2.3 is now a universal binary and among other things offers growl support. There is also the ability to rate the content via a range of filters. Handy. Grab an update at the tools page of...

Last night was the final straw, I am now a complete geek. I had my shopping delivered from web to door! I will be honest I’m not a big fan of grocery shopping, it is so mundane. Added to this I am slowly developing a phobia of the local Tesco’s store; I’m fine in Waitrose, in fact I love going there. But apart from an organic soft cheese spread Waitrose do not have much in the way of sandwich...

Yesterday the tubes were alive with the news of Coda, the new application from Panic. Coda is an attempt at an ‘all in one’ application containing all the tools for the development of a web page. Currently I use a combination of TextMate, CSSEdit and Transmitthat seem to fill most needs, but what if I could have all that power and only need load up one application? Well I downloaded the 15 trial...

I know deep down Lucy thinks of me as a geek. And why not, I’m always messing about with computers or the latest web craze and technology. Yet since she has been working in the States I think she is slowly coming round to my way of thinking. When she returned from her last visit she had actually taken some photo’s and wanted to share them; so she set up a Flickr account. Since then she has adopted...

I’m not sure if this is right or not? Lucy flew off to the States first thing Sunday morning, it is now Wednesday morning; I have run out of washing up liquid! This concerns me as I have either been acting like a responsible adult and doing the washing up on a daily basis. Or I have confused the Fairy liquid with the orange squash and now blow bubbles every time I burp. Think it is safe to say I’m...

First off sorry for the language, in the nigh on 3 years that I’ve been running this blog I have never used such language but what has happened got to me so much that I think it warrants it. This morning I came out to my car to find that some scum bag had reversed into it damaging the front bumper. The damage is not serious but it has removed the paint down to the plastic which will require a...

My legs are just beginning to ease up again, it’s been a while since I’ve pulled out that many miles but the Witham Westerley Audax was a blast and a great way to get back on the bike. For those cyclists; or even those who or not, an Audax is an event like no other in the world of cycling. There is no clock to race against, no points for first place (just bragging rights) but an enormous level...

I have done it! I spent a day without any computer/interweb interactivity! My plan this Easter week end was to try and distance myself from a computer screen for at least a small period of time. It just so happened to be around 36 hours and man it felt great for doing so. I love my time on the computer and trawling the tubes for new information, my recent addiction to Twitter has made this even...

Nope your browser is not playing tricks and worse still my site is not yet borked. The reason for the very minimal look to the site is today is annual CSS Naked Day. Dustin set up the idea behind the CSS Naked Day the other year, which I think I took part in if I remember correctly, anyway the idea is too stripe all the CSS from your web site and display your bare code to the world. This is...

I have slowly been growing more and more addicted to Twitter. At first I was not convinced, I signed up in the early stages and had a few ‘twitterings’ but I just could not see the benifit of the service. For those not in the know, Twitter is a service that let’s you share what you’re doing right now on the web via various formats; web, IM, phone and SMS. You might be thinking where is the fun in...
