For those of us who have coveted a Mac, we can now get one step closer to Mac-dom, with Apple’s public beta release of the Safari browser for Windows. This sleek, silvery browser is identical to what you’d get on a Mac OS system, and has all the usual nuts and bolts that are now […]

Moving your WordPress site
I was recently asked by a friend to help move her WordPress-run site to a new host. It was not just a simple matter of making a new installation of WP at the new host, but also moving old posts, and retaining the look and structure of the blog. This is something that a few […]

The scoop on the Eleventh Doctor
Don’t tell anyone, but after a disastrous regeneration, the Tenth Doctor regenerated into the Eleventh as a… cat. Yes, a cat. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the photo! With no one else to turn to, he sought out his old, trusted companion Rose Tyler, and together the two of them went off looking […]

Getz your copy of Word Press 2.2
Word Press keeps getting better and better. Version 2.2 “Getz” was released earlier today. I just upgraded and, as you can see, all went smoothly. My biggest worry usually is that the plugins I use won’t work, but they all do! To find out what’s new with Word Press 2.2, visit the WP blog. If […]
Miles to go… [Updated]
Well, my list of things to do only seems to get longer and longer, so I’m going to get organized. In other words, I shall make a list! Meanwhile, enjoy the cover of the Turkish edition of A Shadow in Eternity. (For more—and especially if you can read Turkish—check out the Carpe Diem Kitap site.) […]

He grew up into a rather agreeable teenager, went to university and graduated with honours (or whatever the Sims equivalent is). In Sim State University, he met Simon St James. […]

The Open Design Community
It has been a very busy month in the web design community I belong to. To cut a long story short, OWD fell out of favour with most of its long-time supporters when the new owner inserted advertising links in the submitted templates without the permission of the designers. He followed this up by taking […]

Third time not-so-lucky
I had a horrible shock yesterday when one of my Sims babies grew up into a chinless wonder! Sims 2 has a reasonably realistic genetics engine in which it picks up characteristics from both parents in offspring. Even though young Maya (yes, yes, I am not very imaginative with names, I know) had perfectly fine […]

About the new design
A short post to report that the redesigning is officially over. The new look had been on for a week or so, but a few things had to be ironed out. All done now, so yay! Mainly, I was trying to get a feedreader to take the RSS feed from my blog and display it […]

I finally did it! Yes!
I went and bought a new laptop! (And what were you thinking?!) Okay, it’s not exactly state of the art. It’s a Toshiba. Celeron 1.6 Ghz, with a 128 MB ATI Radeon X200 graphics card and 1 Ghz RAM. Before any of you starts off on why I bought a Celeron, etc., etc…. well, I […]
