Need for Speed Underground

Tuesday, December 30th, 2003

Cars, good. Speeding, good*. Bodykits and Neon, good. Yep, Need for Speed Underground has it all and is the
best game I have played in ages. It has just the right mix of fun and
frustration and I think the learning curve is smooth enough to let most people
enjoy it. I bought […]

XHTML/CSS Recode

Tuesday, December 30th, 2003

I recoded the whole site without using tables, the diary is still a bit odd
as it’s generated by iBlog but view the source on any other page of the site and
you will see how neat the new coding is. In case you can’t feel the tone of
this entry, I am really proud of getting […]

Kali Claus

Friday, December 26th, 2003

Jo’s dog Kali is hidden in this picture, she’s in disguise do you think you
can spot her? For the record there was no digital trickery used to create this,
it’s just that Jo has a very patient dog that humors her. Hope you all had a
good day yesterday and got all that you wanted.

I’m still here

Thursday, December 25th, 2003

Yep, rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. I was busily
working on that essay then since finishing uni I have been working every day in
London and in any spare time I’ve been busily scheming for xmas. I have
actually written some entries in the interim but I hadn’t uploaded them. Now
it’s Christmas […]

The Joys of Work

Friday, December 19th, 2003

Firstly I would like to state for the record that The Flying Coffee Bean in
Blackfriars station does the best Mocha’s in London. Secondly while I’ve been
at work this week I’ve been doing quite a lot of my xmas shopping during my
lunchbreaks. My office is opposite Leather Lane market and there are some
interesting shops […]

Phones 4 U 4 Free..

Friday, December 12th, 2003

I went to the Orange shop in Ealing Broadway today to pay off my phone
bill, so now my phones working again. While I was in there I got distracted by
some of the new phones available. In the end I upgraded my Nokia 6310i for a
Panasonic X70. It cost £29.99 but when I […]

That’s Magic

Friday, December 12th, 2003

We went to a surprise 50th birthday party this evening, Jo, me and her
parents. It was nice to go out together, we don’t often get the chance to so it
was a laugh. The best part of the evening was without doubt the two magicians
that came around and did closeup magic at the tables. […]

More Feedback

Thursday, December 11th, 2003

As well as the thoughts links in my diary I’m now using the Haloscan system
to get feedback on my written articles. I looked about on the web and found
that I can make the comments appear on the page by using an iframe containing the comment window. I had to
redesign the comment window to […]

This “Global Village” is a bit small

Tuesday, December 9th, 2003

I went to the second part of Ursula Smartt’s lecture on Intellectual
Property today. I was talking to her at the beginning of the lecture and I
mentioned that I had searched for her books but couldn’t find them until I
realised that I had missed the second “t” from her surname. She mentioned that
one of […]
