Good to see that satirical site Think of the Children is back up after it was shut down following intervention by police. As a web developer, there’s no way I could recommend Webfusion (aka Host Europe) as a host for any of my clients if they’re going to remove sites on their servers without a [...]
Jon’s Dad’s book is finally listed on Amazon: The Uprising. It’s not out until 30th November, and there aren’t any details just yet, but at £8.99 it looks like a bargain.
Now I’ve vented my liberal, namby-pamby, anti-war spleen, let’s go blow shit up with a giant magnifying glass!
A few interesting web design related links for you now:
There’s an interesting series of notes about Proportion and the Golden Section, taken from “Looking and Seeing 3 - The shapes we need” by Kurt Rowland. Warning: the link will try to resize your browser.
VisualJournalism is a site dedicated to infographics from around the world. Rather [...]
What’s the difference between hundreds of thousands of people marching through London last weekend, and hundreds of thousands of people marching through London yesterday? Well, apart from the participants’ wealth and waxed jackets, the main difference that’s struck me is the media coverage. Last weekend’s Countryside Alliance march was given advance publicity by all the [...]
The tarting up process continues — I’ve now compiled a photo album page, which links to the different pages of thumbnails on the site, and removed the individual links from over on the right. A bit neater I’m sure you’ll agree (I plan to do the same with the ’stuff & nonsense’ gubbins too). I’ve [...]
I’ve not mentioned football for a while, given Liverpool’s rather uninspired performance in both the Champions League and the Premiership (well, one loss in 25 league games is pretty darn good, but doesn’t really match Arsenal’s current record). But at least Michael Owen’s back on form, scoring a hat trick in the game against Man [...]
What an odd coincidence — just noticed that World of Badger had it’s first birthday yesterday, on the day that the Guardian’s blog competition results were announced. Yes, on 26th September 2001, I posted my first message here. I had previously been using plain old FTP, and later Blogger for my blog (entries ditched when [...]
I tried to keep my feet on the ground, but after seeing spacerUK, I think I may well turn into a self-obsessed prima donna. Thanks!
A few days ago I started thinking about re-doing World of Badger from scratch, writing a new PHP script for the blog, cleaning up my stylesheets, checking all the pages for standards-compliance, and — shock horror — actually putting up some new content. No rush though, I thought; my friends are the only people that [...]
Holy crap, just popped along to check out the news headlines, and discovered that I was shortlisted (Top 30)for the Guardian’s Best British blog competition! I knew Simon had entered me for it, but didn’t really give it any thought. Wish I had now — there were cash prizes for the top 6 — wouldn’t [...]
Look who appears when you search Google for readers wives. Earlier today Rob was wondering why he was getting so many more hits on his site than normal… Turns out he’d given a page of snowboarding pictures the title of Readers Wives, and the Google spider ended up giving him a listing that many porn [...]
A date for your diary, via thinkdink: You are invited to the War on Iraq!!. “Please RSVP so we know how much pizza to order”. Alternatively, if you haven’t been invited to the party but still feel sociable, try Taliban Reunited, where you can find out what your old terrorist chums and captives are doing [...]
