Expression Engine and other disasterous installs

Yeah I know I seem to spend more time blogging about blog software than any other topic but I think the technology behind the concept is one of the more exciting aspects of this whole blog furore.

My install of EE was a little badly planned (they always seem to be) and resulted in a whole [...]

I’m still alive

Or just about. The recent lack of bloggage is due almost entirely to the visit of an old friend (who seems to be getting around a fair bit at the moment) and the activities resulting from said visit.

In fact I have had a very enjoyable short break. I’ve done next to no blog reading or [...]

XSet is back … and better than ever before

Apologies to those of you who popped in during the downtime.

XSet has been updated and is now running on a brand spanking new copy of Expression Engine. Hopefully there won’t be too many physical changes to the way the site looks and works but I am planning to tweak the templates for a short while [...]

Another one bites the dust

Well, there’s another weekend gone.
Friday evening – worked until 10:00 pm, headed back to the pub for what was left of the night’s frivolity and adjourned to Markiss’ place for a late night drink (note to Markiss – don’t let me mix the G&Ts).
Stumbled out of there at 3 o clock; faced with the prospct [...]

As soon as I [...]

It’s friday … it must be

Just a quicky this week…

This came up somewher else recently and my answer is unchanged. I love backgammon. I don’t play enough and when I do play I’m not very good but when I do get chance to sit down for a game I enjoy it.
2. If you had to [...]

It’s rude to point…

But in this instance I’ll make an exception.
A while ago I challenged you to name the feature film with the least credits and even went so far as to offer bonus points for the first person to spell the films title correctly.
Well, 10 point go to Kelly – 5 for knowing that the movie was [...]

Stand back … I’m going in!

So I’ve got the WiFi working just right … which means I’m going to fiddle with it and break it again.
Why? Well according to the NetGear website (which runs slow as a dog by the way … come on people your in the comms hardware market – get yourself a PHAT PIPE!*) I don’t have [...]

You just write … right?

In typical form I’m posting rather than actually doing what’s required of me. And I’mm not doing what’s required of me because I have writers block. Actually that’s a hopeless excuse. I know that writers (and even designers) block can be a big problem to those who write for a living and I know I [...]
