It must be true; I saw it on telly!
April 1st, 2010
For years now, I’ve taken to the phrase “But it must be true; I saw it on telly!”. Depending on circumstance… well, you can imagine.
You can probably also imagine how delighted I was to come across the Dan&Dan song “The Daily Mail“.
All of his video’s are clever as well as funny -fantastic ideas and brilliant execution -I’d very much recommend checking out his other work.
Free and Open?

I just came across this on the governments website, and you just have to be impressed.
Its entitled “National Insurance Numbers (NINOs): Format and Security: What to do if you suspect or discover fraud”, and in this current climate of identity theft, it kinda makes sense and its probably worth knowing what to do if you do suspect fraud.
Sadly, the only text left viewable on the page, states “This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000″.

Arguments over ‘whether you should have to pay anything at all to Micro$oft to use its on-line service` aside, I found myself needing to buy and xBoX360 Live Gold membership (for the bf).
I decided there is no point getting 3 months for half the price of 12, and I didn’t fancy walking down to the BlockBuster’s Video to pay over the odds.
I didn’t want to wait for delivery either, its a pain in the ass and I don’t trust the post. I don’t want to have to pay more for the sake of a piece of cardboard.
So after a little googling I payed £29.99 for a 12+1 Gold subscription to be “instantly emailed to me” via InstantLiveCodes.com.
DHTML Lemmings
January 24th, 2009
Lemmings written completely in DHTML, so thats static HTML and JavaScript. No flash here. -very excellent 
In fact, I first came across this a good few years ago… I wonder ifit can be calssed as pre-2.0 Web2.0 
Personally I recommend polaying it with firebug running, so you can watch the source change
Hello WordPress World
August 14th, 2008
I feel a little queezy. Possibly more than a little -throat infection and blocked nose, felt like I was coming down with flu when I finally crashed last night…
It might have more to do with the fact I’ve started blogging again. -Ironically, at this point the spell-check points out that blogging is spelt incorrectly, and did I in fact mean “logging, bogging, slogging, clogging or flogging”. Apparently I’ve left it in thesaurus mode.
And I’m using WordPress. I’ve run out of excuses, it Just WorksTM (ok, mostly just works, superscript is a pita) so I’m no longer pissing about with server configurations or trying to write my own CMS in perl or any of that shit, so I get to start blogging.
If you don’t like what you see here, then you’re probably in the wrong place.
