Yesterday, for the second year running, I was lucky enough to attend one of Jim Denevan’s (http://www.jimdenevan.com/ – very cool art) Outstanding In The Field (http://www.outstandinginthefield.com/ events. This year the setting was a beautiful cove just outside of Half Moon Bay, California. I’ve added the menu here so you can appreciate the effort that Jim [...]
Just been flicking through the cartoons at xkcd.com again and came across this one which made me chuckle: Also found the GeoHashing, Spontaneous Adventure Generator to be very interesting idea. Check it out.
Just a quick thing, on the off chance that anybody reading this has got a bit of value out of the FCKeditor plugin or from Ajax / Active Scaffold; and maybe thought of donating something (unlikely I know, its not all that!!) or saying thanks, here is the opportunity: Sponsor my sister on something (Cancer [...]
Just installed the new Firefox 3 RC1. Very cool. Seems to be very fast and stable. I had an instant and very positive reaction to it – mostly because there has been no visible slow down in the rest of the computer since I opened it (not something I could say about FF2). Well worth [...]

So I’m off for a long weekend on the infamous EasyCruise boat. We are sailing from Nice (one of my favourite French cities) to Cannes, St Tropez and finally Monacco. All in the short space of 4 days. So, please excuse the lack of response to any comments posted during that time. Normal service will [...]
