I recently decided to move my Gas and Electricity supplies to one provider rather than 2 – estimated savings of about �200. I was with NPower for my electricity. I’ve been paying by Direct Debit for years. Anyway we got the final bill from them… for just over �55. At the bottom was the usual: […]
No doubt others have experienced this on their blogs: You have Trackbacks enabled and the trackbacks fill up with crap posted there by scum advertising drugs, pornography and so on. S I’ve been having a lot of problems with crap advertising several sites on http://mywebpage.netscape.com. So far various netscape sites have accounted for over 190 […]
This is a sort of a follow up to my previous entry about Cheese – specifically Americans and Cheese I was over in the US for the past couple of weeks and had the rather unfortunate experience of eating some American cheese. Its not something I’m going to repeat in a hurry. Lets take an […]
At the weekend I replaced the broken power connector on our old Toshiba SA30. I tidied it up, defragged it all and then applied the latest set of Microsoft patches. Thats where it all went wrong – system just hung on reboot. Booting in safe mode it showed windows crapping out on mup.sys Now as […]
I’ve been reading up on Trackbacks and how they are supposed to work. I think I now understand it – but I did find an article by Shai Coggins that puts it in a nice easy to understand way. Shai’s posting on the subject can be found at http://weblogs.about.com/od/weblogs101/f/usetrackback.htm
I have to admit that the kitchen renovations had stalled in a pretty major way. This was mostly down to the fact that house was obviously built by people who knew very little about plastering which led to a major problem with all the plaster falling off round the window (see http://www.tty.org.uk/album/thumbnails.php?album=8 for some pictures).

In the background I’ve been working on a complete overhaul of the Camsigh Forums. I put the site up in January 2004 and I’ve bolted a few things on since then, but it was all getting very messy and tired so I’ve been building up a new version in my spare time. Hopefully over the […]
Well I’m quite pleased with myself. The mod to support google ads in the phpbb forums only handles text ads. I wanted to put in some of the referrer ads so I wrote a little bit of php code which sets up an array with the different ads in and then picks one at Random. […]
Well the e-commerce site is up and running at www.ladykat.co.uk I’ve been working on a rather large silly project to “recover” some old phpbb forum posts from html file dumps. It was hard work but fun.. the fruits of that effort can be found at www.tty.homelinux.org/board I’m also working on a two stack parser in […]
Well I’ve been busy. I’ve been building an e-commerce website for my wife which has been taking up quite a bit of my time. I’ve also been working on a Wiki, including writing some really complex wiki extensions and I’m now working on a simple Database extension which will allow wiki users to create simple […]
