Altogether now

Like me, these people are Bored of the Beckhams!

Oh Yes!

BBC SPORT | Football | Premiership | Beattie sinks Man Utd To be honest, I would have been happy with another 0-0 against Man Utd, as they’ve been scoring goals for fun, but to get a win against the champions was sweet indeed!

If you go down to the tip today

You’re in for a big surprise. Well, I was. Firstly there was no queue whatsoever to get in. Then, in the pile of unwanted electrical goods I found two good-quality tape decks (one Sony, one Technics, both 3-head, Dolby HX-Pro monsters), a CD player and a minidisc recorder. So the minidisc doesn’t actually work. Everything else does. I’m going to pay £20 to get it looked at, and then we’ll see. Read more...

Yet another reason not to use Windows

I use a mixture of Mandrake Linux and Windows 2000 on the small LAN(Local Area Network) I have set up at home. I was unaffected by Blaster/Lovesan because I patch my boxes regularly and run a firewall. But this is no reason to be smug.

You keep going, you stop, you get ill

Life lately has been so manic: we have been heavily involved in the design of Lorna and John’s wedding, which was on Saturday. Months of nervous energy expended, a big Grolsch-and-champagne-fuelled blowout, a late night, then…a sore throat and a dodgy tummy. Oh, and I really can’t stand people who change lanes without indicating…

America may have its faults, but Hershey’s Peanut Butter Cups? Mmmm…

Google: not always a good thing

The received wisdom of the Google era has been "content, not keywords". All well and good, you may think: the better and more relevant your content, the higher your search engine position. Back in 2000, I wrote a post about selecting my fantasy football team. When I imported this, along with the rest of my Blogger blog, into Movable Type, I needed to come up with a title for the post.

Impending third blogoversary

A long time ago (three years, actually) in a galaxy far, far away (or rather, at Blogger) I started a blog. The date of the first post was August 9th 2000 and I said the following: I decided to set up another blog, this time for general stuff. I have to say — this rocks… Another blog? What? Well, I had already set one up for my obsolescent Vinyl Obsession project, the posts from which have been folded into the music category here at it could be worse. Read more...
