Teaching web design

November 19th, 2002

A good friend of mine has been attending an evening class at the local higher education centre in Southampton. He’s been learning web design. More accurately, he’s been learning Dreamweaver. He’s been learning to layout pages using frames and tables. He’s been learning to use the ‘properties’ box to set the font size, colour and […]

Girlie Night Out

November 19th, 2002

Ever wondered why girls take so long to get ready? Now you can find out. The Girlie Night Out game reveals all! (literally). Also, on the same site, a quiz to find out if you own your mobile or if it owns you! Have you ever.. placed your phone on a restaurant table alongside cutlery […]

Alan Partridge: Episode 2

November 19th, 2002

Last night’s episode of I’m Alan Partridge had me in stitches the whole way through. The bit where he was puking up whilst giving a speech after impaling his foot on a spike was just genius. My faith is restored. Your thoughts?

The Office: series 2 DVD

November 18th, 2002

The Office (series two) on DVD is being sold on Ebay! Mental, unoffical and amazingly going for �12 a copy. I’d wait for the offical DVD to come out if I were you. Other Office items available through Ebay here. And tonight, Alan Partridge episode 2. Your thoughts and comments please.

Buckinghome

November 18th, 2002

Helen and I have been home-searching again. We spent most of Saturday in Buckingham looking for our ideal home. Because we can’t have the house we want, we revisited a house we last looked at six months ago. It’s a spacious detached home in the Page Hill area of Buckingham. The interior is largely preventing […]

Spell check

November 15th, 2002

This is a formal apology for my appalling spelling on this site. Spell checks don’t fix words that exist. Example: my misuse of the word “loose” for “lose” (cheers Stephen) and my use of “Leads” when I meant “Leeds” (Mike Hoddy). I must do better. I’m taking my spellings home with me to write two […]

Squash

November 15th, 2002

Played squash last night at Swan Pools & Leisure Centre with Mike and lost miserably. At least I still rule at Pong (Shockwave required).

Jane Weidlin’s favourite game

November 14th, 2002

Northern Bytes.org has a highly addictive/frustrating game called Rush Hour on its site. I can’t get past level 8. My ex boss and CCN-North New Media Manager, Peter Smith, can easily pass level 12 every time Unbelievable. Try it for yourself. What’s the meaning behind the Q Magazine style cryptic title? Answers in comments please.

Just the one ladder, Mrs Wembley

Guardian Unlimited carries a PDF comparing the Green Goddess with the familiar Dennis Fire Engine.

Stormy clouds

November 14th, 2002

There’s some nasty weather rattling around these parts. More homes across the UK are yet again without power. At least there’s little risk of fire for them. Apparently Green Goddesses can’t travel any faster than 30mph or they topple over. God I feel safe. It’d be funny but I was watching on Newsnight soldiers trying […]
