Two new websites
13 April 2008Back in the self-promotional mood, I’ve got a couple of new websites to release to an unsuspecting public today. For a long time, I’ve been thinking that the concept used for MotorwayServices.Info could well be suitable for some other kind of review/rate site, and it ocurred to me that railway stations might be a suitable […]
Brief website update
11 March 2008It’s been ages since I last blogged anything, so this is merely a self-serving post to remind the world that I’m still alive and point out that I’ve updated a couple of my websites.
To begin with, now that I no longer have any need for a website advertising freelance work, I’ve redesigned www.good-stuff.co.uk to be […]
The last website of the day
9 January 2008Today is the last time that I do the website of the day slot on Mike Rimmer’s evening show on Cross Rhythms Radio. I start a new job next week, and this is the last time this week that the show goes out live.
So, farewell to all my fans (well, both of you). I hope […]
Farewell Netscape
29 December 2007http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7163547.stm
So. Farewell then
Netscape
Browser extraordinaire
Once you were the
Dog’s bollocks
But now
Just a load
Of bollocks
So. At last the beast fell
And the unbelievers
Had seen it coming
All along.

Friday Fun
10 October 2007I’ve decided to make a start with resurrecting the Friday Fun website. I’ve given it a very simple makeover, and added a new feature - a “How British Are You?” quiz. More will follow when I get sufficient supply of circular tuits.
More linking nonsense
29 September 2007I’ve found another bunch of idiots who seem to think that linking to their pages on anything other than their terms is something they have control over.
I wonder if they were as useless for all of their clients as they were for this one.
Triffle
24 July 2007While the Friday Fun website is offline for redevelopment, I’ve moved most of the jokes it contained to a new home at www.triffle.org. It seemed a bit pointless to have a huge database of stuff just sitting around doing nothing, so I’ve thrown together a cheap and cheeerful website using a freeware CSS template and […]
British surnames
1 June 2007I’ve moved the British Surnames website to a new domain: www.britishsurnames.co.uk (kind of obvious, really). It’s also had a bit of a redesign, and a few new and somewhat funky features added.

9 May 2007I’m just wondering if I’ll get a call from the lawyers because of this.
In case anyone isn’t aware of the significance of these numbers and letters, this is the infamous AACS key which sparked a huge storm at Digg.
Would you trust an advertiser who can’t spell?
13 April 2007Especially if it’s a major financial institution. This appeared in the Google ads on one of my sites this morning:
Repeat after me - “I before E except after C…”
The above is a screenshot (obviously). If you go to www.motorwayservices.info then the original might still be there.
