AVG and OpenDNS bring up some bad suggestions on searches
Saturday, 10. 25. 2008 – Category: Other
On a computer with IE7 and the AVG toolbar I tried to go to mail.google.co.uk, which it turns out doesn’t exist. So as no DNS record is found, the address is sent off to Yahoo. AVGs partner, then it gives some suggested results of what I may be looking for, but the results [...]

Thursday, 10. 16. 2008 – Category: Other
I have begun coding a module to allow the Frontpage Slideshow to be displayed within a block or a panel.
Frontpage slideshow is a script by Joomlaworks.
The module requires that the script is purchased from Joomlaworks as it contains important files for it to work.
The module which is currently in development can be found at http://code.google.com/p/fpss-drupal/.

FILM: Felon (2008)
Monday, 08. 25. 2008 – Category: Other
I have just watch Felon which stars Val Kilmer, Stephen Dorff, Harold Perrineau and the very attractive Marisol Nichols. IMDB gives the film a 7.9 which I would say is a little low.
The film starts with Wade and Laura Porter with their son Michael. A noise is heard and Wade investigates to find his house [...]

Postal The Movie DVD Release Date
Saturday, 06. 28. 2008 – Category: Other
It appears that the Postal DVD release date has been completely ignored. On the 16th June the DVD release of Uwe Boll’s Postal was supposed to be released in the UK.
On the 15th June, I ordered my copy on Play.com which said the DVD was to be released on the 16th. I checked on [...]
New Design
Monday, 06. 16. 2008 – Category: Other
Polished up the design a bit. Haven’t tried it in anything other than Firefox 3, but there isn’t any CSS that shouldn’t work in IE or Opera except maybe the search.
I also will be going through and tagging all the old posts which weren’t tagged.
Categories can now be found at the top right of the [...]

CSS Viewer has been updated to work on Firefox 3 which is a welcome relief being probably my second most used development tool behind the web developer toolbar.
As you can see from the screenshot, it isn’t perfect with text out of the box and not aligned in certain places, but still a very helpful tool [...]
