Enormo Mod

May 29, 2004

Just finished polishing off the mammoth mod I did last night.

Childless Couple Told to Try Sex

May 22, 2004

Linkage Marvellous. You couldn’t make it up could you? NB: Alas, after a few months this proved to be yet another urban legend, right up there with the man who dies at his office desk and isn’t prodded by his colleagues for three whole days. Snopes sees all.

Blogger Does it Again

May 20, 2004

I’ve been meaning to post about the startling array of new things to play with on Blogger for a while now, and the addition of Photoblogger has just put the icing on the cake for this weary ftp demon. So what’s new? Well for a start there’s a really natty new look to the whole [...]
