A CSS Colour Sampler
I was doing a bit of design hacking earlier, and searched the internet (in vain) for a CSS sampler. You know the concept - you type in a hex code, and it tells you what colour you’re using. Well, that’s the second time I’ve looked, so I made my own, as you do. Found here, [...]
Some Sailing Photos
I took these at sailing yesterday, because I was bored and broke the boat I was sailing. Their not very good, but I thought I’d post them anyway.
Horus Rising - Dan Abnett
I recently read Horus Rising , a book by Dan Abnett. It is the first in the series that I am reading, which follows the Horus Heresy, a civil war that almost tore the Warhammer 40,000 universe apart. The novel is part of a series, in which Horus, the newly appointed Warmaster, rebels against his [...]
EarthRace Team Make Fastest Round World Trip on Speedboat
A biodiesel-powered trimaran has just completed the fastest round the world trip in a speedboat, breaking the previous record by an amazing 14 days.
Braving pirates, storms and floating logs, the team made it all the way around the world on recycled cooking fat, arriving back at a Spanish port yesterday. I guess this isn’t really [...]
5 Days Till I Leave
In 5 days, I’ll be flying out to Morocco. Everything is set now, all the kit is ready, and I’m really, really looking forward to it. I’ve got my camera sorted out, and I’m expecting to have LOADS of pictures when I come back on the 15th. I’m still trying to decide how to make [...]
Niche Freelancer Sites?

However, what I’ve not seen many of are niche targeted job sites, for instance targeting content creation, article writing or such, and I think they would be popular. If you [...]
Wordpress 2.6 Beta 1
Yesterday, Ryan Boren announced Wordpress 2.6 beta 1. I’ve just upgraded to it. Among the cool new features are post revision tracking, which I’ve talked about before, and Google Gears support, which is very cool. I think I wrote about that before too.
There is also better support for SSL for the admin area, and bulk [...]
Street Carnage Kit
Today I received the awesome kit the guys at Street Carnage / Tv Carnage etc sent me. I got a tshirt, and a bunch of stickers - a nice gesture from the people I’m currently working for!
The tshirt fits me just about perfectly, which is cool, and the stickers are awesome, although I’m not sure [...]
