Guff is just a resting place for bits and bobs that I feel the need to make a note of, but don’t really fit anywhere else. This is more of a backup for my own patchy memory than any great effort at editorial; you have been warned.

Swype on nexus one

I’ve been keeping half an eye on swype for a while now, but struggled to get it working satisfactorily on the nexus when I tried it before. As this post is being typed entirely on swype on my phone we’ll soon see if this has changed.
Swype, for those who don’t know, is a clever software [...]

Adwords Phising

Haven’t blogged in an age, but thought that this was worth “putting out there” in case it catches anyone else.  Some scrote is sending out millions of Adwords phishing emails at the moment, trying to con publishers in to giving out their account details.  I’ve received 2 dozen copies of this to various accounts today [...]

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.

Crank calling for dummies

Just a little tip: If you are ever going to make threatening phone calls to someone then make sure that you withhold your number first.

Photo Friday

I seem to be getting into a bit of a rut with my picture taking and ending up with hundreds of pictures of Groynes on Hayling beach. Their convenient and always make a good picture, but I thought I’d have a little look around for ideas for mini photo projects / challenges to make me [...]

Mailorder Chickens

Accidentally stumbled across this site the other day. Weird but brilliant! Now if I can just get the “My Chicken’s gone to heaven” song out of my head…

MSN PageRank 2

Well, Google PageRank and Backlinks have updated and I can’t help think that either something is not quite right, or Google have decided to put the knife in with one of their big rivals.
