iPod Expo (and some Mac stuff too)

I migrated our the last of our clients’ sites onto the new server this morning, so now that’s out of the way I hope to find the time to finish off World of Badger very, very soon ( as handy as this spell-check-as-you-type feature in Firefox 2 is, it’s not very self-aware – it’s offering [...]

Shiny new toy

After the ‘all work and no play’ nature of the last month, I decided to treat myself to an 8 gig iPod nano. Bloomin’ lovely it is too. I actually bought it from John Lewis rather than Apple, having stumbled across Hot UK Deals’s voucher and discount codes page (yes, I know it sounds like [...]

The new look

In case you’re wondering why things have gone quiet again, it’s because I’ve been working on the new look for the site on my local server. The layout and typography is pretty much done, but I’ve not quite decided on the colour scheme yet. A similar green to the previous look is a strong contender, [...]

There will inevitably be a few broken links (I suspect the RSS link is different) but hopefully not too many. [...]

b2evolution to WordPress

Well, don’t want to speak to soon, but the migration from b2evolution 0.92 to WordPress 2.0.4 seems to have gone smoothly (apart from the categories not showing the correct number of posts – there are actually 532 posts in 8 cats, not 240 posts in 3 cats as it’s reporting – but they are still [...]

Have Legend/Thus killed DSVR?

For once I actually have a decent excuse for not having posted lately — work has been completely hectic, and to be honest I’ve felt totally drained. A couple of weeks ago, in the early hours of the morning, there was a big power outage at the data centre that’s home to our main server [...]
