  • The essential Greasemonkey Scripts

    Okay, I have raved about Greasemonkey before. It is an extension for Firefox which allows you to load scripts into your browser that can alter how web pages look and behave. The main reasons for this are to either fix a site that doesn’t work well or look good, or to provide extra functionality to a site.

    Anyway, I have to reinstall firefox on my main machine, and do another install on my laptop in linux, so it seemed like a good time to list out my favourite scripts:

  • P Wyndham Little Project Update

    I have updated The P.Wyndham Little Project as I have had an e-mail from someone with more information about it. It is basically a short collection of letters I found on my doorstep one day. Have a look!

  • Recipe I wanted to remember

    Saw this posted on a messageboard, and thought I’d hang onto it here.

    BBBQS (bootys BBQ special)

    de-bone a leg of lamb and marinate it in a
    rub of lemongrass, spring onions, cumin, dried chilli, ginger, garlic,
    olive oil and seasoning. Then cover in foil and put in the oven for
    about 35 minutes for a half-leg. Now take it out and put it on the
    bbq, keep turning it until the outside has a charred crust. Leave it
    to rest for 10 mins and then slice it super thin, it should be nice
    and pink.

    Pile the meat on a big platter (there will be loads) and serve with
    warmed pitta, mint yoghurt and rocket, people can make there own
    sarnies up.

    Sounds nice, don’t it.

  • Lazy Lazy Weekend

    Man, what a top weekend of mostly doing nothing worthwhile. Chilling out with mrsfb, watching telly, generally taking it nice and easy. I am so relaxed, I just fancy putting my head down on my desk, and sleeping until hometime.

    We did manage a walk up to our favourite almost in the country pub, going along the river as a scenic detour (as you can see in the picture above I sent to my flickr account along the way). Slowly got warmer and less overcast the closer we got, so managed a couple of pints in the pub garden.

    Going to spend today launching myself into the week, get some things done, and get caught up on the weekend in podcasting. Lofty aims all, I feel.

  • YAG – Yet Another Gadget

    Look over to the right, and down a little bit. I’ve added in a flickr bar, which shows the latest 3 pics I have uploaded to my flickr account. Now, I can happily upload images to this website itself, but the joy of flickr is I can MMS photos I take on my mobile to flickr, and they go online almost instantly. At the moment you may well be able to see a strange looking fellow there, that may or may not be flotsky.

    Very impressed with this, so easy to set up (I did the whole thing, setting up the account, setting up the code, putting it in Blogger and uploading a pic in about 20 minutes, and that wasn’t particularly down to ability, it is just nicely done).

  • Cooooool

    Cool breeze blowing in through my window this morning. I was almost cold. It was fucking fantastic.

    I am presently listening to an Oracle podcast (the Database people, not the teletext creators. It is high on the dull scale of podcasts, but worthy from a learning and work sense. I may have to listen to the videogamenews.com podcast to make up for it next.
