This week I have been mostly watching: Gavin & Stacey
December 15th, 2009
Plot from IMDb:
Gavin and Stacey have been continuing their romance on-line and by telephone for the last six months. Now they want to be together but will their friends and family let them?
A great comedy that isn’t too in your face (think The Office).
All of the cast are absolutely superb! I don’t particularly like Bob Brydon in stand up but I have to give credit where it is due, he is funny as hell in this. Have to give this show a solid 9 out of 10!
24 Ways back!
December 1st, 2009
24 Ways is back and in full swing for the end of 2009.
24 Ways was started in 2005 by Edge of my seat and posts an article a day for the first 24 days of December. This site is basically an advent calendar for webbies.
Quick Rant: Adobe you suck
October 20th, 2009
Flash Den recently changed their name to Active Den, a choice chosen not by Envato (the parent company) but by Adobe Corporation, or should I say Adobe’s Lawyers. Adobe contacted Envato about changing their name because Flash Den contained the term ‘Flash’ in it, a registered trademark owned by Adobe.
So yeah, I’m kinda pissed off that the big bad corporation is ‘picking’ on the little guy, Envato are helping you and your brand you bloody plebs!
I’m down but I’m not out
September 26th, 2009
So I kind of floated away from my goal of getting in shape for about 2 months there, how the hell did that happen?! Well, I am down and but not out. I have to find the strength to do this!
JQuery Calculate Total
September 25th, 2009
A relatively simple JQuery form that calculates the price of two real world options in real time, a package of some sort and support to accompany it. The code is not that elegant, but it’s what I could come up with

There are no active mixer devices available
September 13th, 2009
Just lost the sound on my XP system yesterday and this error popped up:
There are no active mixer devices available. To install mixer devices, Go to Control Panel and Other Hardware
To solve it, I went into went Run > services.msc and navigated down to Windows Audio and clicked Start. Might help somebody else out there.
Soupy Norman
August 21st, 2009
Soupy Norman is Irish re-dubbed polish TV show that was originally broadcast in 2007. The story is about a girl called Esther moving up to Dublin to study in college. I have never seen the series before tonight as I don’t watch much Irish TV. I am glad I got a link through twitter to finally see this quality show. I haven’t laughed so hard in ages. Check them out.

Did a fair bit of training today. 30 minutes on the punch bag, I felt my arms were going to fall off. While walking the dog, I had a light 2 lap jog around the local football pitch and finished off the day with The PIT workout for 30 minutes.
