Wireless Networking
I need to get a wireless network setup at home as I’m fed up with cables being everywhere. If anyone tried one of those USB WiFi adapters I’d be interested in how well they work. I’m also interested in adding Bluetooth to my rig as it’ll make transfering stuff to and from my phone a…

People who eat noisily
I think I’ll just have to write something in order to block out other noises. Hopefully this will mean I don’t go utterly insane. Anyway, what’s happened recently? Well, I bought a car last month, courtesy of First Direct, thanks guys 😉 It’s a red, no, make that “Flash Red” Seat Leon, Y reg (end…

VIPTrash.com
Weighing in at a massive 57KB, VIP Trash is finally live. This took me a shade over 10 hours from start to finish. For once everything just seemed to fall into place! It even validates, which is something I always aim for, but rarely succeed in achieving. Seems like all the learning I’ve been doing…

Effectively using em’s
After smashing my head against the spiked wall that IE5.x and CSS is attempting, in vain, to get em’s to behave properly so users can resize their own fonts and I can have some control over them myself I decided to have a snoop around. I can’t remember how I got there now, but I…

Overclocking Hardware
I’m seriously contemplating swapping my Abit NF7-Sv2 out for a DFI NFII Ultra Infinity. They’re both based on the NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset, but the NF7-S doesn’t seem to like my RAM 🙁 I’ve got 2 sticks of KHX PC3000 and my rig will just not stabilise if I run the RAM at anything…

Everywhere I look there are stunning designs popping up. PlaygroundBlues for instance, and Eris’ blog. These people really invigorate my spirit. They make me want to be better. I can’t thank you people enough for the beauty you create. Anyone know of more? Update: Andy Budd, Shaun Inman.

tanfa.co.uk – another CSS layout resource
I’ve just stumbled across Tanfa while reading Doug bowman’s blog else. If, like me, you’re trying to wrap your head around CSS positioning, layout and ditching tables you may find this site very useful. If you know of any other useful resources please leave a comment.

CSS Positioning, Relative and Absolute
I think I’m finally getting to grips with CSS positioning. It’s been a long hard slog (cos I’m lazy) but I think it’s all beginning to sink in. HUZZAH! The trick seems to be to stick absolutely positioned stuff in relative blocks. I’m sure I read this somewhere… PIE I think. Anyway, it really does…

OSX Panther
I’ve really got to get around to trying Panther on my girlfriend’s iBook. It’s currently running 10.1 (pussy cat?) and I think that although pretty it sucks as a general use OS. Who know, maybe I’ve been Bill’s Bitch too long? ANYWAY, my main reasoning behind wanting to try it out is so I can…
