Hmm, not done that in a while*

Been doing fairly well the last couple of weeks on this here blog. Haven’t posted one of those “can’t be bothered writing something proper so here’s a link” for a while.
That said…
Can’t be bothered writing something proper so here’s a link:

Best ever. I mean, I could happily sit and look at these drawings for hours. [...]

Oh, it’s enough to make you cry.

Or maybe be sick. Or maybe it’s enough to make you cry sick.

Look at it. A trail of misery going all the way back to the early Victorian times. And that’s just version 7!
OK, that’s enough rants about IE. I actually don’t hate it as much as I like to make out. And to be [...]

Tips for web designers

When you’re coding a design, it’s quite likely that you’ll have two programs open (at the least). The editor with all the code in it, and a browser with what that code looks like.
When you make a change to the code, you have to refresh the browser to see the effects of the new code, [...]

It’s phrasal verb hell

What do you do with the verb “to log in” — specifically the preposition part?
“You are logging into <whatever>”
versus
“You are logging in to <whatever>”.
Does this mean there are two verbs, “to log into” and “to log in”?
Mayhap we will never know, my friends. Mayhap we will never know.

Internet Explorer, I hope you’re reading

Despite your recent upgrade, you are still a miserable piece of technology. I hate you, and I dearly wish to see your failure. May you crash and burn, you useless, outdated cripple of a web browser.
Death and misery forever be upon Internet Explorer!
Update: Ha ha! I’ve beaten you again. O death, where is thy sting? [...]

Secret Posts with Mark Kenny

Today’s secret is: I have really yellow teeth.
And I don’t even think this is because they are hideously stained or anything like that. I think they are just yellow. Like if you pulled one out and cut it cross-sectionally, it would be yellow all the way through.
Just as a quick aside, this makes me think [...]

VD

In true, everyone hates Valentine’s Day spirit, I’m posting this bitter little poem. Remember, it’s no coincidence that Valentine’s Day and Venereal Disease share the same intitials!
Roses are red,
Violets are blue;
If I had the clap,
I’d give it to you.
And as if that’s not enough, here is a poem I found in a graveyard. Happy Valentine’s [...]

Gift ideas

Instead of buying people gifts, why not hide something they really love and then reveal it to them a couple of weeks afterwards. That way they get to value stuff they already own all over again!
This idea came to me after it became clear that my iPod, Barry, has either gone on vacation or been [...]

Which Star Trek character are you?

Which Star Trek character are you?
I got James T. Kirk. There’s no “insert this HTML into your blog post” thingy so you’ll have to make do with me telling you just like that.
James T. Kirk!
Dammit! No way am I James T. Kirk. The fools!
As quizzes go, you’ll probably find yourself clicking, “Agree” more often than [...]

A new plugin: Texturise Mod

Just made a plugin for WordPress which corrects the way it handles curly quotes under certain situations.
I used to just make hacks to core files to do this, but they changed the core files in version 2.1 and it was easier and more transferable to make a plugin.
So now I’m releasing it to the general [...]
