Lost?

I've spent the last couple of weeks looking for the charger for my camera. It turns out that I never unpacked it when moving. I feel as stupid as Peter from Family Guy.

Not only that but the spare battery that was “lost” was in one of the places that I searched many times. Why is that always the way these things go?

Now hopefully I can start filling that Flickr account again after being idle for so long!



Bad ideas of web design or just me being a picky sod?

Last month Christian Montoya wrote a post about bad web design practices but there were a few things there I thought were missing.

Javascript Tooltips

Why? There is a title attribute already defined. They are tacky and they are wrong! Nuff said.

Headers In Lower Case

I've been guilty of this in the past but learnt the error of my ways.

They look like excerpts from an IM conversation. Out of place, out of context. Headers should give context not make you feel like there is none. Personal preference rather than bad wed design idea? You tell me.

On another note

I'm doing a 12 mile walk this weekend. Why? Something to do. I haven't got any sponsors yet and I doubt that I will. There is just nobody to ask.

At the moment I don't really feel like it but on the day I know I'll have to get up and do it. I'd only be sat around doing geeky things otherwise.



Muse, MCR and The Subways

T on the Fringe this August looks to have some good bands playing. I've already bought tickets to see Muse (supported by MCR) on the 24th and The Subways on the 27th.

I know The Subways have been cancelling a lot of gigs lately due to one of the members having health problems but hopefully they will be a-okay by the end of August. If not... well no huge loss. I barely know their stuff anyway!

What we need in that list is JJ72, Yeah Yeah Yeahs ummm the Lostprophets. I could think of more eventually.

It's quite sad that I'm 20 and these will be the first bands I've actually been to see but hey I'm doing it now!

Any gigs you would go to or any bands that you would like to see in the line up? I was surprised not to see KT Tunstall in there.
