Under Water —

Holy crapbag mother of f*ck we have had a shedload of rain over the past couple of weeks here in the UK, but nothing compared to last night! Thursday evening it started raining over the UK and come Friday night, the rain was still coming down and not gently either. According to weather reports, we [...]

10 Things I Would Do if I Ever Caught a Spammer —

I’m getting bloody pissed off with spammers of late, whether it’s the emailing type or the comment spam type, these people are really starting to get on my tits and I feel like they’re really ruining the internet for everyone. My hatred of spammers is such that I have now come up with a list [...]

@$%^&$%^@Ã?£% PHP! —

Grrr… sometimes I hate scripting – I just spent 30 minutes debugging a problem with a script, turns out I’d accidently movedÃ? a variable inside a conditional. Of course, if PHP was stricter it would have just told me that the variable wasn’t defined, instead it let me spend half an hour of my life trying [...]

The Weekly Picture Quiz – #1 —

Ok… in a desperate attempt to make my blog slightly more interesting and get a few more people interactomg, I’m going to try putting a weekly quiz on here. I’ll take a random photo of something from my daily life, most likely either very close up, at a wonky angle or with a crazy filter [...]

I’m pretty chuffed about it, but there are still a couple of sites out there hotlinking my images. I’m sure they’ll soon get the hint though… Speaking of other blogs… I [...]

Plz Don’t Steal Mai Picturz. K Thnx Bye —

I dunno about you guys, but of late I’m loving lolcatz, especially the site ‘icanhascheezburger.com‘ which quite frankly, never fails to make me smile. After considering the comments on my last post I have created the following, which I will shortly be using a rewrite script to replace ALL hotlinked images: What do you think? [...]

What to do? —

There’s a site out there that has stolen my top ten movie cars post, lock stock and barrel and is even hotlinking the images. It’s not something that I’ve ever been bothered by before, but it’s kind of annoying that he’s posted it without even crediting me, so I was thinking of ways to get [...]
