Jump decisions
For a while now, I’ve been considering moving away from Blogger and transferring my blog to WordPress. As it stands, I have a Blogger account using a customised “old-style” Blogger template (no widgets and gadgets and fancy stuff) which uploads via SFTP to my site. Thing is, I’m now finding the lack of a few things such as “next” and “prev” page links, tag clouds, and so on a bit of a limitation these days. I’ve installed WordPress and tried …
Super Mario Galaxy
SUPER. MARIO. GALAXY. HERE. IN MY HOUSE. EDIT: To answer two questions РYes, it is ACEBEST. And yes, it was under ¬£25.
Uptime interruptus
Someone just shut down my Mac mini. Without asking. I managed to take a screen grab of my carefully cultivated uptime as it slowly faded away, to begin again as a mere single figure day count. And I was so close to 93 days as well. Bah. Suggestions for things to slip in her tea gratefully received via the comments…
Are you feeling fat?
Then reading this may be a good thing. Or a bad thing. It’s a big comparison table of “nutritional values” of food from popular US fast food “restaurants”. You know, like McDonalds and that. Most disturbing is a “Carl’s Jr. Double Six Dollar Burger”, which has a staggering 1520 calories and 111g fat. And that’s before you add the fries and drink do doubt ordered at the same time. 111g of fat! That’s like, half a packet of butter! Fast …
ProStreet Romania
It seems to be some sort of skit of the new EA Need for Speed: ProStreet game, only in Romania. With Ladas. At least, I think it’s a skit. Or an advert. Or just crazy European nonsense. Or something.
The £25 Game Challenge
Games aren’t cheap, are they? Especially if you don’t bother shopping around, and just pop into your local Game on release day and pay £50 because you’re too lazy or impatient or ignorant or rich. And, when you buy as many games as I do, that’s a lot of wasted pounds. So I’ve decided: I will no longer pay more than £25 for a game. It’s actually not as big or bold a statement as it seems. I always shop …
I’m Winner!
I’ve just got in from work to find a letter from Spain on my doormat: Since I don’t actually know anyone in Spain, this was quite exciting! I wondered what on earth could be inside? Amazingly, it would appear that I have won the lottery – to the tune of 615,810 Euros! All I need to do to claim, is fill out a form giving “Bilbao Seguros” 10% of my winnings and all of my personal information. I’m rich! Hurrah …
How to play Eye of Judgement
Now, I don’t have a PS3. And I’m not into collectable card games. But even I can see the appeal of holding monsters in your hand… This video shows you how to play. Instructions on how to, uh, “backup” cards not included.
Moodling problems
I have spent much of today banging my head against my monitor trying to get Moodle (v1.8) installed at work on our 1&1-hosted webspace. It just refuses to work. The problem, is that it hangs part way through the install, when it’s doing something with MySQL tables. The page tells you to click Continue, but there is no Continue to click. The same error occurs sometimes for v1.6/7 to v1.8 upgrades, but I’m doing a fresh install. Anyway, after much …
