Wow, That Was Weird
Sunday 31st October 2004
…wow, that was weird!!! I was happily sat here at my computer, working away. I check the time in a casual glance down at my system tray clock, 1.30am it is. A while later I check the time again, this time it says 1.02am! I quickly turn to my wall clock which says 2.02am and finally work out that I haven’t been time travelling, just that my…Bush: Access Denied
Thursday 28th October 2004
People think it’s bad enough to block out people using certain types of browsers, more specifically only allowing Internet Explorer users to access a website…well it seems George W. Bush’s 2004 election campaign web development team want to take this issue a little further… they’ve banned access to anyone outside the USA!! If you live…Download Fahrenheit 9/11
Wednesday 27th October 2004
Want to watch Fahrenheit 9/11, Michael Moores latest film documentary, well go download it! I don’t agree with the copyright laws and I don’t have a problem with people downloading the movie and sharing it with people as long as they’re not trying to make a profit off my labour. I would oppose that. I do well enough already and I made this…Alton Towers - The Nemesis
Sunday 24th October 2004
During the summer a couple of university friends and I headed over to the UK’s best theme park; Alton Towers. This park has the world famous Nemesis ride; a steel, inverted roller coaster. Although the ride was opened way back in early 1994 it’s still proabably the best and most well known roller coaster in the UK today. It features 2…What File Extension?
Saturday 23rd October 2004
I came across this quiz “What File Extension Are You”, I have to say usually I don’t take these, but I was bored, so about 14-15 questions later I get my file extension… guess what came up…Steal These Buttons
Tuesday 19th October 2004
“Steal These Buttons” originated out of Antipixel all the way back on the 22nd of August 2002, that’s almost 2 years ago! What are “Steal These Buttons” exactly… well their original purpose was tiny banners (80px*15px) advertising certain web technologies used on a website, such as following the W3C standards and the use of more specifics…Who Am I?
Monday 18th October 2004
Here is what filling in a form and giving it to a computer tells me about me… Your reluctance to project yourself in any conspicuous or forceful way means that some people will fail to see your real strengths. On the whole you will be appreciated most by those who know you well. They will be alive to the fact that you can be relied on…Portable Firefox
Sunday 17th October 2004
Here is a nice little tool that allows you to use Firefox directly from a pen drive… http://johnhaller.com/jh/mozilla/portable_firefox/Mobile Phone Photos
Wednesday 13th October 2004
I finally got round to grabbing all the photos off my phone and they’re not too bad really (for a phone!). The photos original resolution is a max of 640px by 480px so these have been scaled down slightly, by two thirds. The annoying thing about the camera is there is a substantial delay between taking the photo and it actually capturing the…Warner Brothers…
Sunday 10th October 2004
How annoying… We have been informed by Warner Bros that a batch of the Goonies DVDs are incomplete as the DVD disc contains English language only and not the full range of languages listed on the sleeve. In addition, the audio commentary is missing from the disc. If you have received a copy of the DVD containing the incomplete disc and you…Hanging Around!
Wednesday 6th October 2004
On closer inspection of my nice new shiny “The Goonies” DVD, I noticed the following… Now, “Contains Hanging Scene”… let me think. I’d just looked at some posters and it shows the gang hanging above a pit. I haven’t watched the DVD yet, but, if I recall correctly, it might be from the “piano organ” scene… hit the wrong notes and the…The Goonies - A Classic
Tuesday 5th October 2004
Today I received a childhood classic movie on DVD for the first time here in the UK: Steven Spielberg’s “The Goonies”. The was some debate on the rating on the UK DVD release of this film, as it was quoted and even confirmed as PG and 15 on different retail sites. Well…my copy is a 12! I think this is a bit strange because the original was a…A Nerd?
Sunday 3rd October 2004
Going on a formula written by Taylor McKnight you can work out are you a nerd?. The formula states: Subtract the number of girlfriends/boyfriends/wives/husbands you’ve had from the number of computers you have owned. If the number is positive, you are a nerd. http://gtmcknight.com/log/archives/2004/07/22/areyoua_nerd.php\n Now, even if I…Surprise
Friday 1st October 2004
I found a link back to my site, and to the interview I did with David Travis over at Andrew Fernandez’s “DezWozHere” blog. The specific archived post can be found at http://www.dezwozhere.com/blog/archives/000891.html from August 17th 2004. This is a suprise coz I didn’t think anyone had anything to do with my little world!!
