The recent snow meant my delivery from Tesco didn’t was cancelled, but 2 great things.
- They sent me a £10 off voucher, which is nice
- Their website has a ‘My recent orders’ section, I can add everything from the last order, with the correct quantities, in a few seconds.

The League of Moveable Type

It sounds like it should be a subversive, underground movement of angry laser printers, but is actually a bunch of open-source fonts
WordPress upgrade
September 6th, 2009
With the talk of WordPress attacks I used the auto-upgrade thingy for the first time today, seems to work fine.
Edit: there was a slight search box problem, now fixed

A comment from the AV Club’s comparison of the book/film versions of Let the Right One In (the films excellent)
Wow, it’s really easy to be a belligerent cuntwaffle online, isn’t it?
No wonder so many do it.
Would the theory be better with that phrasing?
Oldest First

It’s especially bad when the comments are paginated, so when you’re going from the last page to the first you just have to hope no-one adds a new comment.
You always want the oldest first so you can read it in order, so when someone refers to a previous comment you’ve already read it.
You never want the newest comments on a blog post or article first, here’s why…

I’ve been doing all this blogging while listening to the T20 on the radio, which I jinxed. Before I started writing Hampshire where 95/4 chasing 126 and collapsed to 110/9. Then Hamza Riazuddin (who’s been bowling really well lately) comes in, scores 13 off 8 balls leaving us 1 short of a draw. Bugger.
A great quote on Google Street View
April 23rd, 2009
Well the title should be “A ‘great’ quote on Google Street View”, from Dr Ian Brown on this BBC article.
“So far, the breaches have just been embarrassing – someone being sick, someone else leaving a sex shop – but its possible someone could find themselves being unfairly divorced because an innocent image could be interpreted wrongly.”
If you’re getting divorced over a picture on Street View your marriage was probably fucked anyway. And with all the dodgy stuff the governments been doing with peoples privacy complaining about pictures taken from a public place is a bit ridiculous (also if you don’t want to be seen leaving a sex shop either don’t go in, or go in and don’t leave).
A simple solution to a complex problem

Merlin Mann posted an interesting polemic on the recent AllThingsD kerfuffle. I was going to try something satirical and quote the post in its entirety, but instead will offer a bit of advice on blogging and how to stop people nicking your shit. The trick is to libel people running large PLCs by calling them bastards Dow Jones definitely won’t be ‘complimenting’ my recent posts.
