Baby Update – Is this it?
I got rudely awoken about 04:30 Today by Laura with what she described as a “very sore tummy”. Since then she’s been having contractions varying in strength and frequency, but no further apart than 10 minutes. She has just phoned the hospital and they want her to go in for an assessment at 10:00. The… Read note →
Sharing your printer on your home network
There are a number of approaches you can take to sharing your printer. You could physically plug it in to the USB port on your PC or laptop when you want to print, but this isn’t very practical. You could use the printer sharing feature in Windows XP, but this means you need to have… Read note →
Adobe “Fully Loaded” Tour
I’m sitting in the Brighton Odeon Cinema in the “Fully Web” Session of “Fully Loaded” Tour it’s being presented by Steve B(something).

Life is about to get a lot more complicated
Or easier, I’m not sure which! IE7 is due to be released this month. Initially it’ll be available via optional download from the MS website but they are going to push it out through windows update which means that take up is likely to be very quick. I’m not sure if it’s going to break… Read note →

Sam is off for a walk…
A good friend of mine Sam is off to walk the great wall of china in a couple of days. As well as getting some much needed excersize he’ll be raising a good sum of money for whizz-kidz. I’ll be adding my sponsorship on payday. Sam’s organisational skills are about as good as mine, so… Read note →

Fancy calling a car dealership “Mark”
Following on from a thread on the sitepoint forums I decided to see if “myName.com” was available. It turns out it isn’t. MarkFord.com is registered to a Ford dealer in the US of A. This is a downside to having the surname Ford, the only other one I can think of is people pronouncing it… Read note →
