First up, a brief announcement for the livejournal crowd: I've changed the settings in the crossposter, so now you should be able to leave a comment on the livejournal site, should you so desire. Previously I had it set so you could only comment on my website, mostly because that made my life a touch […]
I just discovered a few questions had been sitting in my FAQ queue for who knows how long. Perhaps foolishly, I expected my FAQ plugin to send me an alert, either by email or through the dashboard, when it needed my attention. So if you've been checking the FAQ, wondering why I was ignoring you, […]
Apologies for the silence. I swear, every time I think I'll take a day off from blogging, life intervenes and makes it impossible to blog for the next five days. Inertia, it doesn't just apply to trains. To cut the onerous story short: my webhost shut my site down, due to high server load. This […]
Yesterday I spotted the following on an invitation to a baby shower: Eggcorn? Malapropism? Both? Definitely funny, definitely wrong.
If you were thinking I'd been awfully quiet over the past couple of days, that would be because my webhost was experiencing technical difficulties, otherwise known as HOLY CRAP WE DESTROYED THE INTERNET.

RAINING = NO INTERNET. STUPID TELCO DISBELIEVE. AUTHOR CRANKY. WILL RUB TELCO REP'S FACE IN SOGGY INTERNET SIGNAL IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES. ALL COMMS BY BATSIGNAL UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. (SAVE ME.)
I'm having a bit of a troubled run at the moment, with malware or possibly worse invading the computers and frazzling my concentration, not to mention making internet access patchy at best. I think I have the problem stamped out on the laptop at least (fingers crossed), which means I've been able to resume progress […]
After much dragging of my heels, and much cursing at my substandard internet connection, I have uploaded some of my photos from the Bhutan trip. You can find them over on the new (and imaginatively named) Gallery page. They're not captioned yet, because, well, I haven't quite gotten around to that. I'm testing out a […]
😯 In an attempt to avoid the multiple procrastination born of multi-tasking, I followed Leigh's advice and focussed on one task to the exclusion of all others. A touch over 18 hours of coding later, 1 I have a new theme for the website. I'd forgotten how much work goes into making a new theme. […]
