I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
I went off to my ‘main domain’ to upload a photo album… after certain people spent a year nagging me for photos of the kids etc… only to find that somehow I’d ‘mislaid’ three sub-domains and the entire directory that contained them. Have sent in a ‘support ticket’ asking if they can restore any and/or … More Clumsy little me
Went to the pharmacy to collect my new medication this morning. Turns out to be something called Modafinil which I’d never heard of before it was prescribed. However, according to Wikipedia (see link above) it seems it is a multi-purpose drug being used to combat daytime sleepiness without producing a ‘high’… but is also being … More Modafinil blues
Like me, I’m sure a lot of you wander around the web and come across all sorts of odd stuff. I’m looking for a specific type of software and because it’s a real niche area it’s not something that’s easy to find even by searching via Google et al. What I want is software that … More I need software!!
Over the past few days I’ve been quietly working away on the ODPS adding in the words we received during the past year or so. I started with 200 or so and have got 119 left. Oddly most seem to have been submitted to the ‘Seedy songs and Rotten Rhymes‘ section with only a few … More Stuff to do.
Last year we wrote about a little girl who was given methadone instead of cough medicine and subsequently died. At that time we not only spoke about her by name, but published a photo of her. Today a story (here) is being run in the local rag and her name is being suppressed for legal … More Justice is an odd bird
I figured… I have it… use it! I’ll add a link on the site… after all… if people visit it… and maybe click on an advert then it’ll earn… won’t it? Well for starters the damn ads won’t work! Gawd…. I hate blocker. I think maybe the best bet would be to install WordPress on … More ODPS Blog – use it or lose it.
Decided this morning, like a good pair of curtains, I needed to pull myself together so I girded my loins and dragged my sorry carcase off to the Diet Doctors for some motivation and advice. Explained my theories about testosterone… and as usual got sidelined. Will have to follow that up again over the next … More Hi-ho, hi-ho…
Well well… would you believe I finally got in!! Seems the last posts I made were on May 14th 2005… over 2 years ago. Anyone with the slightest interest in the old blog can see it here. Actually, whilst it may not be rivetting reading for most, I found it interesting if only because right … More Update on Blogger access
I checked prices in Tandy to see how much we’d saved by buying headphones from Aldi instead of a ‘normal’ retail outlet. The cheapest wireless phones in Tandy were $100. In Harvey Norman they were $250 and above. I tried out the $50 ones I bought from the supermarket and they work fine. As far … More A little more on headphones.
I have, or rather had, a Blogger account. Oddly enough, when I visit other peoples blogs, like The Phantom’s the Blogger system recognises me as ‘skyrider’ and lets me post. However, when I try to access the blog itself it won’t accept the password! Easy as you might think… get then to reset it and … More Bugger Blogger and their lack of support!
