Breakfast - the most impotent meal of the day

Spotted on the BBC website this morning by The Hot Dog. It’s either a beautiful accident, or it’s someone’s last day.

I like the fact that in case the larger context is confusing the issue for you, there’s a little thumbnail on the right which really gets to the meat of the story.

Having a lovely time, wish you were here

This is an excellent idea. Upload your holiday snaps while you’re still on holiday and Ballistic Blue will print them onto postcards and post them to your Gran for you.

UPDATE: Great minds think alike, it seems. PPMe operates the same kind of service - I think I prefer the front-end on this one because you don’t have to use the rubbish templates that Ballistic Blue seem to insist on

Blip

Oops. Bit of a blip there whilst updating to Wordpress 2.6. The update process itself was as easy as ever, although not entirely foolproof because I managed to get it wrong and break everything. I am a special kind of fool.

I am in the Daily Mail

I got a phone call this morning from my Mum, informing me that a friend of hers had called to tell her that I am mentioned in today’s Daily Mail.

This is because of this. I’d sort of forgotten all about that little exchange, and certainly wasn’t expecting it to crop up in the pages of a book. Even more scarily, it has a picture of some other people I went to school who I had completely forgotten about.
