Garden

Monday, August 27th, 2007

ooer, I seem to have spent the entire day in our garden, trying to make it look a little less of a bomb-site. Improved it slightly.

Issues and errors

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

It seems as though my comments have been broken for a while. I’m not quite sure how long. It seems to be related to an issue with the comments expiration plugin, so I’ve applied some code hackery to that and comments should be working once more. (If you still get comment closed messages please let me know with the contact form!)

Also I’ve had intermittent problems connecting to the mysql server, which, unfortunately, puts up an obtrusive error message for you readers. Hopefully that is resolved now, too.

Another 419 variant

Friday, August 24th, 2007

Looks like there is a new type of 419 scam, where the scammers hack into a hotmail account, and then pretend to be one of your friends in need of urgent assistance in a foreign country. Oddly, the peril that your friend has gotten themselves into has also sadly caused them to lose all control of English language structure, so you’d best get the 4000 UKP to them by Western Union credit transfer quickly, so that they can collect it with their international passports.

In other news, it seems that many people spend only 17 minutes deciding on a new house to move in to, and 26% of those people then regret the decision. oops.

Out Out Out

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

Apparently this last year more people left the UK than at any other time since 1991. Of course, still more people came in to the country, so we got a net gain not including births. All the more reason to pack up and leave ourselves really. Clearly it is the done thing. Oz is most popular, not too suprisingly. It’s easy to see why people want to leave though, what with horrific sausage crime becoming an everyday occurrence. But it could be worse, someone could have decided to set fire to your penis.
