  • 80’s Estonian TV Commercial

    Have a spare pair of underpants ready. Do not be eating anything. Be sure that you are not under the influence of any hallucinogens. Put that pint down, too. Take a deep breath. Remind yourself that you are in a safe place, and you can turn off your computer at any time. Watch this 80's …

  • Database copy progress dialog with an animation of an arrow getting mangled by some cogs.

    There Goes Your Data Now…



    Is it just me, or does this dialog box, which appears when using a particular part of Microsoft SQL Server 2000, present a very bad metaphor? One that says, "this arrow represents your data, and here it is being minced by some cogs". Or maybe it's just me that thinks that, and winces a little …

  • Firefox Finally Appeals

    As you may all know, I'm a die-hard supporter of the Opera web browser, despite many of my friends now claiming that Firefox is superior. I've been following the Mozilla project for a long while (haven't we all), and on the many occasions I've tried Firefox (and it's grandparents) I've always been unimpressed. It's always …

  • The Subtle Art Of Beer Snobbery

    Thanks to Jon for showing me The Subtle Art Of Beer Snobbery. Can't help but feel that our favourite TastyLager guzzler is trying to make a point, hmm?

    Went out few a few last night with Andy R, Claire, and Bryn to welcome Strokey Adam and Emma into town (they're visiting this week - but not …

  • I Don’t Think This Will Work

    I received this e-mail from a co-worker this morning. I don't think it will work, so I'd like to do a test - Jon is particularly good at locking his keys in his car (he managed to do so on Saturday, while driving it, which is quite impressive), so perhaps he'd try this out for …

    "Yeeaaaeaaeaa-aaah! Yeee-aaah! I feel hardcore! Yeeaaaeaaeaa-aaah! Yeee-aaah! Always hardcore!"

    Scooter can't help but make me feel good on a morning where I've been made to get up earlier than I'd have liked (listen here).

  • Pagan Wanderer Lu

    What a great gig last night. Amazing. Will say more in the morning, but suffice to say that Mr. Wanderer Lu was well on-form (apart from a slight lyrics hiccup in a new song I particularly liked): drew a great crowd too. Now... time for bed.

    Pagan Wander Lu reports that this was his …

    Well; today, Bryn's Challenge came to an end - so those of us who were participating (and didn't give up along the way) can go back to our regular amount of fast food once more. I, for one, will be enjoying a Tex Mex burger at Burger King this evening (you're all welcome to join …
