For the love of cthulu, under no circumstances, whatever you do, do not click here.

On a side note, I’ve ended up with two projects on the go:

1. .. a ground up rebuild and redesign for the ‘foo and
2. the creation of a new blog for my partner

Task 1 is going to take some time, as I am looking at completely overhaulin’ the tags and categories for the ‘foo¹ along with a design change and URI change (the URI’s are long, messy and aren’t well structured).

But fear not, for the shadowy coding ninja shall not fail and will take pride of place in the new design.

As for Task 2, that should be an interesting little endeavour. Having primarily only ever really worked on this blog, or it’s design, taking the next step to build and release a blog for another person², should be quite a (learning) experience.

Still, I will have consumed a great many brains idea’s by the time I’m ready to commence.. so it should all be a bit of a cake walk.. no?! :)

1. .. currently cats mirror tags - that’s a bad thing (↩)

Due to an unscheduled fault, the smackfoo mySQL db decided to reject connections for the last couple of hours or so.

We are currently experiencing periodic and intermittent issues involving connectivity from customer applicatoins to MySQL. (mt) Media Temple engineers are aware of this issue and are actively working on a resolution.

However, as the (mt) guys rock, we’re back in action. This would be the first unscheduled outage in, err, 5 months? Having come from dreamhost where outages are an almost daily occurrence, this whole not crashing, always available thing (mt) have going, quite frankly rocks!

Terry Tate is gonna smack your punk ass down. After a shit day at work a colleague
passed on the Terry Tate love and I cannot get enough of the world’s most bitchin’ Office Linebacker.
I’m a machine, Gene! I’m built for this Son! WOO!

Fresh from his
Terminator vs. Robocop battle, Robocop takes the well worn path of many celebrities before and releases a new self titled trance album.

Today did not start off that well.
Running late as I was, I discovered to my dismay a certain undergarment I had intended to wear, was still yet to fully dry.
This, was a bit of a conundrum, given I had little more than a few minutes to brew a coffee and head out to work.
A desperate […]

There have been many many occasions this week where
the card would have said more than I could ever hope for.

It’s official.. shopping naked rocks. Image of today’s deliveries, courtesy of my Nokia N70 camera phone.
You know the ’shopping in underwear’ is a common phrase when one’s local iSupermarket
bananablue actually uses the concept as a slogan.
While this may not seem like anything special, (dependant on where it is you’re reading this) — […]

Wonders will never cease - I am currently writing this aside in Safari, in OSX, running on my Dell D600 Laptop.

I strongly believe their should be regulation of the “spam” market.

Those who do not poses an IQ above 130 should not be permitted to act as spam couriers and merchants. I speak directly of the current “get firefox” spam trick..

I went to see Revenge of the Sith this evening, as have many before me.
Overall, I was relatively pleased with the third Lucas prequel.
