    • Listening to Frank Turners’ new “Poetry of the Deed”. Been fan since M.Dead, love this album – big sounds; almost orchestral – thumbs up! #
    • Note to UK weather: make your mind up! Coat dripping wet with rain going into town. On way home coat sun-baked dry – man underneath drenched #
    • So happy! No more big brother – they’ve finally seen sense: Enough cretins on Tv as it is. #
    • 3.3 million households in the uk without a single employed person inside?! shocking! #
    • Are you experiencing Facebook-Related-Jealousy syndrome? http://bit.ly/SOeQk #

  2. Wow… the real world looks weird

    August 28, 2009 by Ben

    Okay, I’ve spent the best part of the last 48 hours coding/designing constantly. Looking around the flat just seems weird to me now, nothing looks as it should. It’s similar to the effect you get while walking out of the cinema after watching something like Knowing (longest feeling film I’ve ever seen I swear..)

    But moving on from that peculiarity my coding stint means that I’ve not only nearly finished my own wordpress theme (I know… I have one, but take the time to look at the code that powers it and you’ll see why I don’t count it as a real one) but, more importantly, I’ll be finishing the website for Nico’s Restaurant: a great little place near to where I work. Who knows, when it’s online maybe I’ll put a link up to it :p

    Anyway, that’s really all for now: you may have noticed I said nearly finished..

    Bye for now.

    P.S I forgot to say, the wallpapers I made ages ago are now available to download in the artwork section. Back to work and some more Radiohead to help me along I think.

  3. Too long between posts

    August 25, 2009 by Ben

    Ok, I’m sorry. It’s been a horrendously long time since I’ve posted on here but I have been very busy: Moving house, wedding bells, a little holiday and then a lot of work has conspired to keep me away from my blog for too long. But now I’m throwing myself back in again.

    I’m currently working on a web design for an Italian restaurant not far from me and once that’s finished I have a few more racked up. Somewhere in between I’ll finally finish my own design and site, I promise. Then perhaps I can actually start writing some articles again.

    But that’s all for now, I really am quite pushed for time. I just wanted to write a quick post to confirm I am still here… and will be for the foreseeable future – once I get some work done!

    • News in: Ladybird swarms are on the move. Anecdotal evidence suggests they're attracted to BBQ's… #
    • Really good article about coding a HTML 5 layout from scratch which gracefully degrades in less-supporting browsers – http://bit.ly/En9nD #
