Hooter Shooters

Posted at 7:11am on Tuesday, July 26th, 2005

Moderately NSFW, and really bloody stupid. But there’s something about the method of delivery that will always appeal.

Exceedingly geeky, but rather funny (ta, Doug)

Greasemonkey announces flaw

Posted at 9:22am on Friday, July 22nd, 2005

Not that surprising really, I suppose, but the first serious flaw in a popular Firefox extension has been announced. Let’s hope that the Greasemonkey community aren’t too complacent.

9 year old MCP

And she’s not the youngest, either. I’m not quite sure what this means. It certainly calls into question half the muppets I’ve been interviewing for work in the last couple of months…

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

Posted at 10:30pm on Tuesday, July 19th, 2005

For God’s sake please don’t read The Da Vinci Code. Please please read Foucalt’s Pendulum instead.

I read it on the beach while on holiday. It’s the kind of book that you only have to read 4 words a page. You can spot the source material for each chapter within the first words… A guide to Paris. The Range Rover brochure. The Bluffers Guide To Rennaisance painting. It’s unremittingly poo. Don’t read it. Unless you really really need to kill a couple of hours and poking yourself in the eye with a fork is not an option.

So then, I’m back

Posted at 4:00pm on Monday, July 18th, 2005

I got married a couple of weeks ago - had a marvellous honeymoon, thanks. If you fancy a bit of Art Deco decadence I can hugely recommend Burgh Island for the most amazing weekend away. Absolutely stunning. Seriously.

Anyway. On to the important things… Notes from the holiday…

MPs seek to block BBC free downloads. We’ve already paid for it you twats. Stop it. Now.

Organic Holidays. The Observer reading, Hugh Fearnly Whittingstall wannabe part of me thinks this might be rather a nice holiday.

Pedlars.co.uk. A rather nice things site, including the rather lovely VW camper photo clips. Nice in a £4.99 kind of way (if you see what I mean)

Check-A-Trade. Not sure how they handle the slander possibilities of this sort of service, but it seems like a good idea to me…

HippoWaste. Saves hiring a skip next time you’re demolishing something.

Kilroy faces leadership challenge. Apparently they want to “put the truth back into Veritas”. Snigger.

Frog Killer. We all want to. Now you can.

Last orders, gentlemen please. A lovely loophole finally closed.

Apparently “monkey’s tail” is the most common name for it…
