Copy and Paste

It seems a cocked up copy and paste job has broken the tags.
Bah!
Edit: Although my copy/paste of WordPress installs did bust stuff it was actually the latest version and plugins which did. All sorted after much hair being torn out – and I can’t afford to do that much more!

His office expenses are equally bizarre with things as [...]

Microsoft

This afternoon has been a bit of a battle with Microsoft.
Now bear in mind none of these installers actually mentioned these as prerequisites in the installation process.
I started working on a little game about 2 years ago. I dug it out, spewed when I saw the state of the code and upgraded it to .Net [...]

Keeping down the inbox count

Catching up on my blog list has been fun. I was reading about the policy of E-mail zero where you aim to keep your inbox at 0 e-mails at all times by constantly properly filing your mail. Having fallen behind around 2 years ago mines is ever growing. I figured going for RSS zero was [...]
