December 2002 Archives

Well I've just finished watching Men in Black II. Not a bad ironing movie.

What's an ironing movie? When I'm ironing I like to watch a movie. It mustn't be too engrossing or else I don't do the ironing. Likewise, it can't be too "sophisticated" or else I can't keep track of what's going on. So it needs to have a relatively straight forward plot - can't be subtittled (or else how can you get good creases?) But it does need to have sufficent holding power to distract me from the boredom of ironing. Typically, these movies tend to be action orientated, or classics that I know.

Anyway, back to Men In Black II. Not bad - the ironing was completed by the time the movie was over. Always a good sign.

I've been looking for some way to manage my links from with MT. So far, no obvious way has come to light. There are some kludges to use "Categories" but that seems fraught with problems. So I have started looking for non MT solutions.

At the moment, Linkster seems like it might do the job. I'll have to download it and give it a go.

We'll it didn't work too well (for me), so I've used an idea from Love links

I'm always looking for ways to improve the site, and MovableBLOG seems to do just that.

It has a rich supply of code (mainly PHP) and ideas. Nice stuff.

I'm hooked on bookmarklets. See Bookmarklets and other useful things for IE's Links bar for more details.

Well I've bitten the bullet (again) and set up my own weblog here. This is mainly for my benefit, rather than anyone-else's benefit.
