many things need commenting on in this field (for example why is it the new washing powder always makes things as clean as the old one did in it’s advert), but have you noticed that the hole created by the ringpull in drinks cans has got much bigger? This means you drink faster and thus, [...]
Signiture files. I think they are a little silly, especially when yu get huge disclaimers etc, but I can see the point. However on forums, people seem to use them to blag about things, and it’s completely pointless. Some might argue that you can use them to spot who actually has the kit and the [...]
I’d rather eat my own shoes, every morning, than loose the BBC. It’s one of those things that might loose huge amounts of money, be available to people who don’t pay for it (how do you regulate who can view news.bcc.co.uk) and have a million and one other problems, but it improves society in so [...]

On friday night I decided to do a bit of a clean up, and removed some old code which was knocking about from the previous incarnation of coldclimate. In doing so I set myself up for a big fall, and caused a few headaches (and I lot of ear ache for my very wonderful hosts [...]
OK, so I managed to DOS attack my own site. I’ll write up a bit about it later when I’m not tired and tireder, but basically a combination of htaccess, deleting files and some jiggery pokery, I managed to create an infinate loop within my own site. *head V’s desk moment* Possibly Related Posts: Getting [...]

Everybody eants 3 eqal height columns, with three different coloured backgrounds, because it is the halcyon of web layouts. A List Apart shows you the way forward. Old coldclimate.co.uk used to use three columns, and it was a pain and rendered buggily on some browsers, but aparently this will work better. Possibly Related Posts: Getting [...]

Dead easy chicken for boys to cook on their own (possibly even after a beer). Invented because we had a jar of really crappy lime pickle which was mostly chilli and very greasy. Chop up as much raw skinned chicken as you need (roughly a handful per person), of whatever bits of chicken you like [...]
A few weeks ago I bought a blender for about 12 quid. I nearly bought a “smoothie maker”, but decided not to for 2 basic reasons. 1) I want to make other things in my blender (such as soup). 2) every eejit seems to swear by smoothies, and I think they are nothing more than [...]
