Just testing my website referral engine.

The photojunkie : 300 exposures in 30 days : Version 2.0 has now started and the first ten photos are excellent!

Took the free brainbench Windows 95 navigation exam yesterday morning. (Yes I know 95 is old, but at least it proves I can remember stuff from that long ago.) The hardest bit is remembering what the 95 interface looks like as you get so used to the 98/windows 2000 interfaces. I’m sure that if I had a 95 box I would have got 100% on the exam. As it is I got a score of 3.93 – higher than 85% of previous exam takers. There are a load more tests that I think I’ll take when I get some more time. More information

Thanks to AListApart they mention that there is a bug in ie6 that cuts off cascading style sheet pages where the text just disappears. I’ve seen this happen several times. The solution is to hit F11 to reload, and the fix is to report it to Microsoft. I often wondered why it did this…and now I can’t find a page that reproduces the problem!

Ever seen an annoying kid in a supermarket? Bet it was never as bad as this
Thanks Jason

Starting to prepare for the holiday/vacation! The countdown has begun. In typical manly geek fashion, I am trying to work out what computer cd’s I am going to need to bring with me (can’t bring the laptop but I know that I will have to fix at least one pc whilst I’m out there) and also how I’m going to store all the digital photo’s. Anyone know a cheap/good place to get compactflash cards and what a good price is for 128mb in the States?

Ok, the things that I have noticed in the new bloggar:-
Account names are now sensible, icon for the account name now appears in the bottom of the screen. Templates can be created for new posts, files and images can be uploaded, categories and titles are now available for MT users. Posts can now be saved to disk and reloaded later on. When creating links to other pages the dialog box now has the ability to put in the text of the link and the title (thats the tooltip that appears when you hover over a link). Importing of text files, Editing of a post by id number (rather than by hunting for the post in “last X comments” etc.

I *love* this headline. Queen saves the butler. Its about how the queen intervened to “save” Princess Di’s butler. More likely that she didn’t want the Royal Familys Dirty Laundry and the real story getting out into the courts and therefore into the public knowledge. Apparently the queen had no knowledge about the trial before she intervened at the last moment. If thats the case then i’d have to wonder just what else she knows about the rest of the country that she is meant to be in charge of! This case has been hitting the headlines for weeks and she claims she didnt know her information would influence the case? If that is true then she is …..

The new version of Bloggar is out and it looks really good. For those of you using the blogger software (like me) then you won’t notice too much difference (that I’m aware of at the moment) but it does not allow you to call the accounts by name instead of Account 1 etc. You can also now get it to upload images and files that you refer to in your postings too. If you are running Moveable Type then there are options for posting categories and titles. Well worth downloading and registering I think. This will be my Novembers donation/registering project. Last months was conquercam

Woohoo – I won another competition this week (thats two!). I won something from Begley’s – I’ll find out what it is when it arrives I guess!. In the meantime, enter their weekly competition this week (and see my name in lights (or at least in html)) here
