This is Dunny and Woody (wot who rite Spectrum emulators and stuff) at ORSAM a few years ago. It was a Sinclair-based retro geek show. I, uh, went for the food.

I’ve been sorting all my old photos out today, importing them into iPhoto and stuff. So I thought I’d post some. This is the world’s smallest table football game. Amaze!
Missing IMCE upload button on TinyMCE on Drupal 6
I was asked to fix a problem with an IMCE/TinyMCE/Drupal 6 for someone today. Basically, the upload button wasn’t appearing in the popup box when you click the image icon on the TinyMCE toolbar.¬¨‚Ć This has happened to me before, on Drupal 5.x, and was because I hadn’t given the relevent users permission to use IMCE, or configured IMCE to be used with TinyMCE. In the new version of IMCE, the latter option is no longer available, and everything else …
Spectrum Adventures in Wii Homebrew
It would seem that the Wii Homebrew “scene” has now matured to the point where not only are fully working games, apps and emulators now available, but there’s a modchip-free way of installing them. You stick a hacked Zelda save game on your Wii, load the game, and it crashes allowing some code to run. This installs the amazing “Homebrew Channel” on your Wii. There are loads of things you can do with it, but, as is my “thing”, the …
Fillum review: Dogma (1999)
I’m a relative latecomer to Kevin Smith films. I’ve seen Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and know of (and have seen bits of) the others, but for some reason have never got round to watching the rest. So I saw Dogma today. The plot is suitably far-fetched. A down-the-line relative of Jesus is charged with the task of preventing two misguided fallen angels from unintentionally bringing about the end of everything, while God is missing, presumed dead, following a …
The second month of Famousness, Part II
Or is it third month now? I really don’t know. Anyway, I’m up on the UEA’s website. Requests for autographs to the usual address.
Beerating: Saxo (7.5%)
Very drinkable for a strong beer. Tastes light, but is quite bitter (in a good way). It also appears to have a slightly spicy aftertaste. Has nothing at all to do with the chav car of choice, however. Beerating: 4/5
Survey UK scam
In the week, i got a letter in the post from “Survey UK”, telling me I’d been allocated a gift – one of just 49. It then said to ring 01242 695001 to claim. Naturally, I immediately thought it was a scam, and used Mr Internet to find out more. I was right to be suspicious. It turns out the company (Matters Consulting Ltd, Victoria House, 1 Gloucester Road, Cheltenham) has been in legal trouble before, when they were called …
