PHP?

I've been spending a lot of time recently tinkering with HTML, Javascript and other bits and pieces. It's been surprisingly fun, even if I don't have a lot to show for it so far. I have hit a bit of a bump though, so if anyone knows about php site navigation, please let me know.

Oh, Globbits...

I never knew this existed. A full length music video version of the opening theme to The Trap Door!

Did this actually get released as a single? If it did, that's pretty close to the best thing ever.

US offers global warming strategy

Giant space mirrors. Because cutting down on excessive energy consumption would apparently be too difficult. Crikey.

Asps. Very Dangerous. You Go First.

Indy4 starts filming in June. Yay.

Survey. Of those of you who own all three Indy films, how many of you stack/arrange them with Doom before Raiders, and how many do it the other way?

The Return of the Mack

I hope you all had a good Chrimble or appropriate cultural variant; we had a quiet one, staying in and watching telly for the most part. And then our internet went down, but as you can see, we're back online now. Just in time for some shameless self-promotion, in fact.

If you head over to my website, you can read a short comic I did over the Chrimble holidays called More Than You Can Chew; have a look, tell me what you think. Normally, I'd now not go near a pencil for six months, but I'm going to take the plunge and do a webcomic (not only because all the cool kids are doing it). More on that later.

I also (finally!) retired my old profile picture, in favour of something more indicative of my current shambolic appearance.

Chrimble!

Happy Whatever, everybody!

(This is the first post since I moved to Blogger Beta, so let me know if anything broke.)

Haven't we met before?

I think that even if we disagree concerning the merits of Casino Royale, we can all agree that the theme tune was naff. Paul Hartnoll has a better idea, and it's called Haven't we met before.

Meaty

I was looking at a recipe for some roasted vegetable thingie. Completely vegetarian. And at the end, it had dessert and drink recommendations. In the drinks bit, it mentioned some wine or another, then it said "for a vegetarian option" and listed a different wine.

Why isn't wine, by default, vegetarian? Is it made from chickens? Is it really the blood of Christ?

In All The Wrong Places

I don't know how popular he is here (I know I had a bugger of a time getting his album), but the music off the new Nokia 5300 advert is In All The Wrong Places by German ambientster Ulrich Schnauss. Maybe now he's on a mobile phone advert, he'll suddenly surge in popularity and for the second time ever, I'll have been following a musician from before they got popular.

(first: Moby)

This has been a public service announcement, because I hate it when there's music on the telly and the internet doesn't help me track it down.

(Grumpy Update: It seems that there are a number of versions of the same advert, with the same visuals but different narrators and music; there even seems to be an alternate British version, which I've never seen on telly, with a grumpy-sounding male narrator and generic twangy guitar nonsensery. Perhaps poor Ulrich won't catch on after all. Bah.)

Neon Genesis Ivorgelion

Chortle.
