Doesn’t time fly eh? It’s been a week short of a full year since I last put a post up on this site. The combination of having a very busy year, needing to get my priorities straight, and buggering up the website some-what interrupted the flow of posts for a while, but now I am [...]

T-shirts for geeks
I’ve been trying to find some good T-shirts lately to replace my tired and fading summer wardrobe, but have been pretty disappointed in what is out there in the way of t-shirts with a slightly geeky edge.
Thinkgeek are probably the undisputed kings of the geeky T and I’ve had a few from them in the [...]

I was really disappointed in this. The TrueLife display (which I paid extra for) is supposed to increase colour brightness and contrast, which it does. Unfortunately the trade-off for this is a screen that [...]
Dreamweaver impending nightmare

Whilst it is far from perfect (a crappy FTP engine and laughable CSS support spring immediately to mind) it is still leaps and bounds ahead of competing packages.

Whilst I [...]

Latin Dictionary
Just adding a quick note so that I can find this again in the future. Spent ages trying to find a good latin dictionary / translator online for something I was working on a while ago, and didn’t have much luck. Stumbled on this one by accident today.
