  • Firefox 3 "Download Day"



    Downloaded your copy of Mozilla Firefox 3 yet to help them make the world record? I've been using Firefox 3 since the early betas and I've got no qualms about recommending it wholeheartedly. The awsomebar is simply that: awesome, the speed and memory usage have become far better than the previous version, and the care …

  • 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 …

  • Internet Explorer Exploit Of The Day

    There's yet another killer Internet Explorer bug out there, which is manifesting itself in the form of a new trojan, Phel.A. This one only affects Windows PCs updated with SP2 (the supposedly 'safe' people) and works by confusing the 'trusted' and 'untrusted' zones.

    I always find reports like this interesting, so I've written an exploit of …

  • New Troma Night Website Up-And-Running

    The new Troma Night website is now up and running. All existing Stars are requested to go and register for the new site to retain their Star status. And give suggestions for Saturday's films while you're there, using the new "What Shall We Watch?" feature.

    And see you all Saturday!

  • Almost Finished The New Troma Night Website

    Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm about two-thirds of the way through the development of the new Troma Night website (between bouts of revision). Should be ready within the next 12 hours. Fab.

    If you're a Troma Night person, go visit www.tromanight.co.uk tonight (Wednesday night).

  • AbNib

    I'm almost ready to launch AbNib (main site may be down during development, but try the temporary mirror), a site dedicated to the weblogs of Aberites: people who live in or love Aberystwyth.

    There are some funky new and cool features to come. But this is a weblog-community in the making.

    Rock on.

  • Late

    Running late for work. Was supposed to get up and take laptop to Daton as part of an insurance scam, but I'm still at home after having woken up late. Still, Claire'll be at work until about 1am today... in Newtown... so there's no benefit to me coming home early. I'll work late.

  • LiveJournals

    Many of my friends here in Aber seem to have their own weblogs on LiveJournal. I'm almost tempted to download the (open) source of LJ and set up AberJournal, a site for Aberites to post their journals to. Could be cool.

    On which note, please go see:

    This particular entry in Andy's journal, on account of it …

  • Makes You Feel Stupid

    Don't you feel really stupid when you plan to go via somewhere on the way to somewhere else, and completely forget about it. I managed that this morning: I'd put some keys in to get cut at the hardware shop around the corner from where I live, gone and bought my lunch from Somerfield, then …

  • Secret Site Launch

    Happy with my new weblog, I'm launching it now. And, just out of curiosity, I'm not going to tell anybody about it, and see how long it takes people to notice.

    Yes; I really am 'just odd like that'.

    Anyway - that's enough goofing around on the internet at work for me... I'm off to goof around …

  • Scatmania Launched

    Well; I finally did it. I finally got myself a weblog. After weeks of peer pressure by such friends as Paul, Alec, and Kit with their shiny LiveJournals, I decided to have one of my own.

    Just to remind anybody who doesn't already know that this isn't, technically, my first weblog. My first one ran from …
