Work In Progress: New Theme

By Dan ⋅ November 21, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve pulled the trigger on a new theme I’ve been playing with tonight. Mainly because Twitter Tools digests are broken, and I don’t want no new content popping onto the blog. So, Tweets will now sit in the sidebar, and will appear as I make them, rather than at the end of each day. I’m [...]

Gaming Release Madness

By Dan ⋅ October 13, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

This is just silly. After a quick flick through the pages of Play.com’s upcoming gaming releases, these are the titles I reckon are worth playing for the remainder of the year: Little Big Planet, Valkyria Chronicles, Resistance 2, Fable 2, Dead Space, Far Cry 2, Midnight Club LA, Spiderman: Web of Shadows, Saint’s Row 2, [...]

Apologies if you’re reading this using a feed reader. It seems that adding a WordPress excerpt for the two Frightfest reviews caused them to not show up in my RSS feed for the site.

Thanks to the post revision functionality in 2.6, Organize Series goes a bit bonkers (it doesn’t know any better, bless it) and you end up with “part 8 [...]

Dell’s Studio Hybrid

I spotted these on Dell’s site earlier today. I think they look great: they’re just the right size to snuggle on one corner of your desk, are aesthetically pleasing (except for the bamboo one), and apparently don’t use a great deal of energy. I bet they’d make a nice Hackintosh alternative to the Mac Mini, [...]

Massive Twitter Data Loss

By Dan ⋅ July 24, 2008 ⋅ One comment

It looks like Twitter have screwed up big style. I added several people to my Twitter account (feed? roll? What’s the correct technical term here?) at Wordcamp UK on Saturday, and now they’ve all vanished. After adding them all back in again, I’m now thinking: is there any point? I’m sure some people can’t quite [...]
