TrackBack’s gone. For now. Notwithstanding the fact that it seems wildly unlikely anyone would ping one of my entries, plus the fact that traffic here… Read More »TrackBack Sucks
I am feeling a little disillusioned again. It’s not been a good few weeks, and I can’t help noticing that I’ve largely failed to write anything even slightly interesting on this blog for some time. Depending on how you define interesting, maybe.
Perhaps a break is a good idea. I might feel better when this move is out of the way, but it’s dragging on ridiculously, to be honest. There isn’t any solid reason that it wasn’t more or less finalised a month ago. I’m incredibly bored, and I feel this is making anything I say incredibly boring…

Following the last miserable entry, I guess I decided a slight redesign of the site was in order, to justify its existence. Call it therapy.… Read More »Justification
My mood isn’t as bad today. I’m just weary of being messed around. If anyone out there has a job for me, get in touch!… Read More »Oh… What-Ever!
Like the new logo? I’m still working on the site here and there. I haven’t used graphical logos for some time, because some browsers (IE 5 & 6, at least) have issues with locally cached copies of transparent gifs. I wanted to use a jpeg instead. Hey, they look better, anyway.
What I didn’t know, until a few days ago, is that you can convert HTML colour codes into RGB ones using Windows Calculator (scientific mode), meaning you can enter the exact RGB codes into just about any decent paint prog and have a perfect match with your background, or any other colours coded into your site. No need for transparency! (Unless you’re using a textured background, anyway.)

I just found out: I have a new career. I wish someone had told me. Where’s all the money? (This is what you find doing… Read More »The Catwalk Beckons…
Banal weather report: Rainy weather. Dull sky. Atmosphere slightly humid but chilly around the edges. A bit crap, really. How can you please someone like… Read More »A Lot of Weather We’ve Been Having
Well, we did have a lead on a new home. But someone put a bid in first, so, POOF, now we don’t. I have mixed feelings. I really hated the location, if I’m being honest, so in that sense there’s relief… on the other hand, we’re still very much stuck here. *sigh*
However, we have spotted another suitable property, advertised today. The asking price is slightly lower than the last one, and even better, the location is preferable (not ideal, but definitely preferable). More news on that soon, I expect. I’m taking nothing for granted, but keeping my fingers crossed.

Today, I’ve felt incredibly bored and listless. Maybe that’s what Bank Holidays are for—it’s time for the TV channels to replace their usual, stellar line-ups with a constant stream of ancient films that have already been shown a zillion times before.
