The Great Flood 2007-07-23 16:30:49 The heavy rain has now died in Britain however a load of areas are now flooded in Britains Great Flood. There are currently 8 severe flood warnings around the country, over 100,000 homes and businesses are damaged and the cost of the damage is currently planned to be more than 2 billion pounds. Tewkesbury has no running water and out of power, except street lights. Warnings are currently along the River Severn, River Avon and River Thames are being monitored too as within 2 hours time in Oxford the River Thames banks will burst. Many people are blaming this on global warming, however the cause of this disaster is the fact that the jet stream is more southern than what it usually is, which I suppose happens every couple of times each century. ...

I think I'll stick with XP 2007-07-22 22:34:46 I think I'll stick with Microsoft Windows XP for the time being as I have just found out that taking a screen dump, or print screen as others would call it, is a lot complicated in Microsoft Windows Vista than it is in XP. In XP or any other version of Windows you just basically click the PrtSc button and it's done, however in Vista you have to click Start, then search for a program called Snipping Tool, then load it and make a selection of the screen you want to take a screenshot of then save the file, blah blah blah. Until that is fixed then I will not be upgrading and I'd be happy just staying on Windows XP. ...

Easy Age Selection - PHP 2007-07-18 13:16:55 If you are making your own website registration form, then on the of chance you want an age selection box then don't spend hours manually typing it in, just a 3 lines of PHP and it will automatically do it for you. Very simple! Below is the tiny bit of code that will automatically make a dropdown box for your site. Basically it starts at 1 and goes to 100. If you want to change the numbers then edit the $i = 1 value, which is the number it starts on, then edit the $i < 101 value, which is the number it goes upto plus one, so 54 would go upto 53. <select name="age"> <?php for($i=1;$i<101;$i++) {      echo "<option>$i</option>"; } ?> </select> ...

dhSpy v1 Released 2007-07-17 11:46:41 Do you always wonder what your children might be on when they are on your computer whilst your back is turned?

Streets of London 2007-07-11 20:44:18 The other month I posted a video by Alan Lowe-Jones singing and playing Ralph McTell's classic song Streets of London. Well I decided to record myself singing it, it's pretty pants though also I added some pictures from Google on it too. Have a looksies and tell me what you think.

Spooky 2007-06-21 14:58:36 Well last weekend I was chating to Martyn and his mates. Marytn, Damien and Jamie were sitting on the bed and I was facing them and we were just nattering away as normal people do, when we heard a small taping on the door - like when someone wants to come in the room, so we said "come in" but nobody came in. We said it again and still no one came in, so we opened the door and no one was there. Behind the bed on the top bit of the wall is a little window bit so you can see who comes down the stairs and I am more than certain no one came down as I would have had seen them out the corner of my eye, like when you see a spider crawling along the floor. I ventured upstairs and Martyns father was in the living room watching the film Scum, but he swore down that he did not come downstairs. Though because I never saw anyone actually come down the stairs I knew he wasn't telling a porkie. Jamie said it was not him, which I am sure it could not have had been as he would of had to have ...
