How To Keep Up With The Latest Happings On Scatmania (or What Are All Those Pretty Buttons?)
If you're looking for a way to keep up-do-date with the latest Scatmania happenings, it's now really really easy. I've enhanced my weblog with a heap of useful syndication tools that make keeping track of my latest activities a doddle, even for those of you who are unenlightened and can still be caught using an …

Dan Breaks The Internet… Again
Whoops. You'd have thought I'd have learnt my lesson when I fucked around with BIND last year, and 'broke' a small portion of the internet, but no. I managed to 'break the internet' again while playing with the Domain Name System settings on big. That's why Scatmania was inaccessible for the last day or so …

Making Progress
Claire's at work this Saturday morning, so I'm taking advantage of the oppertunity to finish the web site I'm developing for my dad - almost got a deployable version ready, which is nice, because I could do with getting his feedback on it and (assuming all's well with design and whatnot) deploying it "live" on …

Something Cheery
I see that Slate, a magazine run by MSN (and owned entirely by Microsoft), recently published an article promoting the idea of not using Internet Explorer. Whoopsie, say Microsoft. Better yet, the article suggests using Mozilla Firefox, their main competitor in the browser market, instead.
Promised you something cheery. There it is. -
Scatmania, Version 2
Welcome to Scatmania, Version 2!
After my disasterous data loss the other day, I decided to take the oppertunity to redesign Scatmania into something altogether better-suited to the purpose (i.e. doesn't use a silly flat-file system). And here it is (well; unless you're reading this through LiveJournal).
I'll be graduating this afternoon, which will mostly involve standing … -
Some People Should Not Be Allowed On The Internet
http://bash.org/?104052
In related news, I hear that some folks have been arrested on suspicion of being behind the Half-Life 2 code thefts. Maybe Valve were waiting for the arrest to be made so they could get their code back. =o) -
PlannedChildhood.org

Umm - what is with these guys? Are they anti-abortion, or anti-TV-violence, or anti-technology, or anti-drugs, or anti-pornography, anti-sex-ed, or what?
And the title: "Unborn babies poisoned by rocket launches" [sic]???
Still, this painting is pretty good. -

PHP 5 RC1
Terribly geeky I know, but I find it awfully exciting: PHP 5 Release Candidate 1 was released today. PHP 5 can now be considered feature-complete, and mostly stable. If only the program I'm writing with it could be considered the same...

If you've been reading this blog since September-ish, you'll remember when I had about a week of ranting about the VeriSign/SiteFinder lark: this was … -
The Internet Is A World Of Ends
Got a spare quarter hour? I think you should go and read WorldOfEnds.com. It's a fascinating and concise analysis of what is the nature of internet, and why why should stop making mistakes with it.
It's not geeky - it's philosophical. -
Christians Should Be Banned From The Internet

If you're going to spend (at an absolute minimum - and probably closer to four times the amount) $350 on a series of banner advertisements promoting your service, to be displayed inside a popular ad-sponsored … -
AbNib, Version 1.1
I've taken a step towards fixing AbNib. It now works correctly with Alec and Andy's LiveJournals, and loads significantly quicker by not updating the live-feed of everybody's journals at the same time. Yay. Also, have swopped out Claire (who was never updating her blog anyway) for Bryn, a proper Welshman: give him a read!
I'd still … -
Penbryn Residence
My new web site, Penbryn Residence (the sequel to the immensely popular Penbryn Hall web site I set up several years back) is now under development. And I've made a link to it here so that Google starts picking it up. <wink>

Growing Up
I've done so much this last week, but I'll get around to that later.
This is a special message for all of you who are using Windows Messenger (a.k.a. Microsoft Messenger (a.k.a. MSN Messenger)). It's just a summary of all the reasons you shouldn't be, and why you should be using ICQ instead. If you're an …
