Swear along with Firefly

Ben — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 23:24:23 +0000

Ok, so I’ve finally got around to watching Firefly and I must admit I am a total convert. It is a crying shame that only one series was ever made but the film was still fantastic. Quite a rare thing I think you’ll agree.

Rather than try to explain the show, I’ll let you read the post linked to below and see for yourself.

One thing that’s always bothered me while watching it is not knowing what some of the great insults and curse words used were. Thankfully James Daniels has compiled us a list of some of the greatest. So if you’re ever in a situation where you’re dying to swear but can’t, mutter one of these gems under your breath and feel a little closer to serenity.

Insert Phishing Pun Here

Evening all. Many apologies for the distinct lack of this site over the last few weeks.

Sadly my host was targeted by a phishing scam and I was forced to clean out and backup all data and slowly build it back again. This process has taken some time but I’m slowly getting things back together – and more to the point I’m ensuring the same thing cannot happen again!

New design on it’s way

Ben — Thu, 19 May 2011 16:59:07 +0000

For a while I’ve not been happy with the very basic theme I have on this blog. So last week I started work on a new one, something much more exciting to look at and much more me. I wanted something professional but personal, something slick but not too Web 2.0 and something which would stand out. I don’t think I’m too far off!

To make this I have used nothing but the magnificent program that is the Gimp and the Kubuntu text editor Kate. All open and all I need.

It should be finished in the next two weeks but for now here’s a little sneak preview.
Feedback very welcome!

Oh dear so much for carbon neutrality. I think I've burnt enough toast/garlic bread this week to rival a family hatchback. #
