Reblogging Myself
I originally wrote the this in August 2004. I’ve just found the old blog via archive.org. It’s a long time since it’s deleted but that scary website has the entire thing! (No capital letters is done on purpose.)
the dingles live at number 3, while i’m sat at my computer i can look out of the window and see their entire house. it’s quite an oddball household.

My Dad
My relationship with my dad is a confusing one.
My earliest memories of him go back to being three or four years old. He was a lorry driver who went out to work early in the morning, before I woke up, and got back late at night - just before I had to be in bed.
Some nights he’d come back with fudge bars for me and my sister. Others, I’d get put over his knee and introduced to his...

Longshot
I’m looking for a web 2.0 style interactive script (thats speech not java).
A bit like an autocue I supose, you have a speech or certain things you have to tell your audience, after each one you can click it to mark it spoken. You don’t have to do it in order but you can keep track of which parts you’ve already presented…
Any ideas?

Congratulations Ashes Winners!
England have brought the Ashes back home.
Your opinion on this statement will either be “yeah, congratulations, well done, fantastic win…” or, “how boring, shoot me now.”
It’s easy to slate cricket, not the most exciting of sports to watch (or play) really. But just as the country goes tennis mad for a couple of weeks each June, there’s something special...

A boring post (don't read me)
I’ve been tracking the progress of the database at work since it crashed at the end of July. It’s about to crash again, on Monday. It’s grown by 700 MB in three weeks. There’s something seriously wrong with that, given it’s taken about three years to get to that size until June!
When I get into work today I need to check the size and get on to the IT Helpdesk to...

Pork Pies and Paddys
Ok, the other way around.
nPower recon I owe them £12.05 but I recon they owe me £7.95.
We recently moved house and the new place was supplied by nPower via a prepayment meter. As the emergency supply had run out, I took the key to top it up with £20 straight away.
It turns out that you can’t use any old key in the meter, you have to have one that nPower send to you specifically. Thanks...

Just as you thought it was safe...
“Tony, the database has gone down again, I’ve just had a phone call and someone can’t get in it. It’s now working.”
Ok, so this time it’s affecting every Access database on the network, but if I copy one to the local hard drive it works fine. You can open the database from within Access but not from Win Explorer.
Someone’s been fiddling with the network...
