I had grand plans for this weekend, but somewhere in the mix I have become side-tracked by some irritating minutiae. I have a To Do list on my laptop, constantly lingering in view, so I have no excuse to lose focus. I have managed to remove a couple of things from the list – like…
Spent part of the weekend transferring someone’s web sites from a ‘wizard’ created PHP page, that dynamically pulled the content for different pages from the backend, to a WordPress installation with functionality to support the site purpose – publicising the availability of a holiday apartment. I find it hard to explain to people sometimes that…
Well, the world moved on in the last fortnight, didn’t it. The weather has shimmied and jostled from overpowering heat to moist and warm – at a pace quite alarming to most. I have gone from spending one night sleeping above the quilt, to the next tucked firmly beneath it – and that isn’t right,…
I’m pleased to see that Weebl-Stuff now offers a Footy Badger experience updated to included the unique atmospheric experience of the lepatata. Personally, I have no particular love for football – so the inclusion of the vuvuzela in all matches of the 2010 World Cup has simply layered more frosted shit on an already soiled…
Less than an hour until the first part of the Doctor Who finale, it occurred to me a couple of days ago that this feels like Lawrence Miles Alien Bodies. Sam and the Ninth Doctor stumble on an auction for some ultimate artefact that everyone seems to want to get their hands on, whatever the…

At this time, aside from Trevor Bruttenholm and a very young Hellboy, the BPRD represents little more than an esoteric authority on the supernatural with some military support and a few hardy volunteers. Trevor relies on whatever funding and assistance…
Nighttime. I sleep at night. Occasionally, I don’t – I lie awake wishing I could sleep. Or, I wonder what Santa might be bringing me in the morning. Mostly, I sleep. The thing about sleep, well – it tends to mean you’re out for the count with your systems largely shutdown. Your brain churns through…
I’ve become intrigued by the web of the Internet, the interrelationship between sites and pages forming organically over time. I have been spending time trying to iron out some loopholes and gaps in my site content of late, because people have linked to stuff from here in the past that I have then lost or…
Never mind cracks in the Universe or amnesiac Time Lords abandoned on the edge of the Silver Devastation – I’m almost loathe to link to it, but angelshavethephonebox.com is a singular waste of an entirely usable web address. Admittedly the owner took the time to stick a picture on it with appropriate Doctor Who quote,…
