I am…

The I am reading / listening to … are now powered by a mixture of PHP, Javascript, XML, .htaccess, mySQL and Amazon AWS.

If you too would like an easy to administer (well once I write the front end, it will be), I am reading… piece for your blog sidebar then let me know, and I’ll create the code for you.

Just to let you know, I do let you have your own Amazon Associate ID’s, however 1 in 10 will be replaced by mine.

Blog Hopping

I’ve switched on the NavBar to my site for the moment, mainly just so I can have fun surfing random sites, but hopefully it’ll put my site into the loop.

Don’t be to shocked if it disappears.

Although hopping made me realise stuff I hate other peoples blogs:

  • People changing the cursor (evil)
  • Having odd frames
  • Dark text, on dark backgrounds
  • Light text, on light backgrounds
  • Using default blogger style sheets (oh wait)
  • Having monthly archives listed as 09/01/2004 – 09/30/2004

Still to find a blog to bookmark, but found a few American fathers, and an Irish guy who is trying Internet dating.

GB take badminton silver

Firstly well done to Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms, you almost did it.

However my big problem is the evil BBC. For those who live in the UK you are able to watch the olympics online (including the bonus four digital feeds), those outside the UK can’t. Unfortunalty the BBC count work servers as outside the UK, and not only do they block the video, but also Five Live, meaning we can’t even listen to it.

So instead it was live updates in text, with me hitting refresh every minute or so.
