Current Reading for April

With no internet access at my place in Newcastle (that will change as my ADSL kit arrived today courtesy of the rather slow AAPT) I've been reading somewhat more than normal. The book I just finished is one that all people who are disengaged from politics should read, …

Internet Explorer 7 for Monkeys

Right, so this monkey decided "hey, i'll whack this on mum's laptop for browser testing" (she uses firefox, you know "mum, that fox looking thing, that's the internet, not the blue e thing").

Clouds on the Horizon Threaten a Boat at Sea

Mewfest: Easter 2007

Although I think that "Mewfest" should be renamed "Spewfest" in honour of Stu.
