25 September 2005: No Satellite Signal 3

Should you be wondering - unlikely I know - but no, I still don’t have satellite television.

22 September 2005: Thanks

So I’d like to say a big thank you to the person who, at some point, walked to the end of my drive, lifted up the purple recycling box, removed the green recycling box from underneath it, took out a newspaper and some other bits of paper from the green box, put them in the purple box, put the purple box back, and then scarpered with my green recycling box.

20 September 2005: Iceland 2005 (Day 4)

On 19 August 2005 Catherine and myself flew out to Iceland for a ten night touring holiday round Iceland. We drove round the country and saw many an exciting and interesting thing. This is one of many blog posts about that holiday - this particular post is about day four, where we’d drive from the top middle of the island, to the middle right. And see some sights on the way.

20 September 2005: No Satellite Signal 2

The trauma of Sunday where I spent far too long nudging my satellite dish is still in my mind, especially when various Googling and discussions at work did suggest it might be a problem with the LNB (that’s the prong that sticks out of the dish) but before I started buying new satellite bits, or calling up people to check things, I thought it would be worth just checking the box on someone else’s satellite dish.

18 September 2005: No Satellite Signal

When we moved into this house, I was rather delighted to find a satellite dish on the side. After some time I got a cheap second hand set top box for it, then a remote. Before going on holiday, I finally got a viewing card too.

14 September 2005: Hurray Hedgehog

I seem to recall recently, hearing a report on Today about how hedgehogs are becoming rarer. I’ve certainly never seen one. Foxes yes, Hedgehogs no. Until tonight.

14 September 2005: BBCi Happenings

Last week we launched our biggest ever project - a project that had taken years to get from start to finish. In fact it’s not even finished, as we’ve so far, we’ve only launched on satellite. And you know what hurts after all that hard work? No one - not one person - outside the organisation noticed.

10 September 2005: Iceland 2005 (Day 2)

8 September 2005: Movable Type 3.2

Finally decided to leave the world of Movable Type v2.661 behind and embrace the world of version 3.2. It has a nicer interface after all, and plugins are good.

8 September 2005: Working At Home

I’m working at home today, which is something I don’t normally do as I find it rather boring being stuck in the house by myself, and I usually end up missing about 15 important files that I can’t access as I’m working via webmail alone.

5 September 2005: Brief Feed Apology

Quick apology for anyone on the full text feed - I managed to break it when I reinstalled by PC last week, and I’ve only just noticed. It should be fixed now and the person responsible flogged as punishment.

5 September 2005: Death of the Big Red Button

I’m rather saddened to hear via the old currybet.net, of the death of the bbc.co.uk Big Red Button.
