Happy new year! I was getting tired of the radiance-based theme here, so switched to the aptly titled “veryplaintxt”. This is a lot tidier and also removes the need for me to co-ordinate colours, something I’m really hopeless at. I might make some customisations of my own at some point, and that should be easier [...]

New name, new theme
Tuesday, July 28, 2009
Ok, so creating a theme from scratch proved to be an awful lot harder than I expected it to be. Luckily I found Lime Radiance, which was almost exactly what I wanted except a bit too… well… lime! Anyway I changed the background and a few other things around, and I’m pretty happy with the [...]
Graduated!
Saturday, June 27, 2009
So I finally graduated yesterday and am now a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Natural Sciences, which makes it sound like I can control the weather. I’m also looking forward to starting my DoITPoMS work on Monday. Any way, I have some plans for this blog now, expect a series of short posts over [...]
Survey
Monday, June 8, 2009
I occasionally get surveys to do from Yougov, for which they either give me a small amount of credit (which I can claim as real money once it reaches a certain amount) or an entry into a prize draw. Today’s was a prize draw survey, on the topic of cars. And so mine went:
- Have [...]
Upgraded
Saturday, December 27, 2008
It’s funny, I’m normally very keen on keeping all my software up to date, but Wordpress is just enough hassle for me to make an exception. I was trundling along on 2.5 for ages now, and given that it keeps nagging me to update to not 2.6, but 2.7, I thought I should get on [...]
Write Or Die
Thursday, December 11, 2008
So, I was needing a kick up the backside to get some work done. And as is usual when trying to knuckle down, I found myself browsing Wikipedia again. This time I ended up at the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for those in the know) page. This is something I’d heard about before (after [...]
Activity!? On my blog!?
Wednesday, September 26, 2007
This blog hasn’t seen so much excitement since… well… ever. Though to be honest, if you class this as excitement, you need to get out more.
(Note to self: Get out more)
So I’m sure WordPress 2.3 is wonderful and all (ooh, tags. how Web 2.0) but it takes too long to install. At least for me. [...]
so yeah…
Monday, March 26, 2007
Heh, that attempt at sustaining my blog started well didn’t it. Now it appears to be broken (see the nasty error on the right where the blogroll should be) – which is partly the reason I held off on a new post, I wanted to try and fix the problem or at least wait and [...]
