An Endless Torrent of Social Stuff
If the prospect of putting a line through the final item on a lengthy to do list is close to nirvana, then you’re probably trying to deal with inbox anxiety, that constant battle to keep your email under control.
I’m with you. The number of unread items in my email inbox steadily grows mocking me, like my own person national email debt clock. Although I haven’t had to make any bailouts (Select All > Delete). Yet.
Using Iframes With Drupal’s WYSIWYG Module And TinyMCE

Mucking About With My New Camera, Holiday Snaps And Turning The Golden Gate Blue
I’m no camera maestro, but I do like to take a few snaps when I’m out and about. Despite the potential glamourous locations of recent trips to Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, there was precious little time for sightseeing.
Still, I did discover one new trick whilst mucking around with the Custom White Balance feature of my trusty and battered Canon Ixus 100 IS.
Swearing. Big & Clever. Part 3

Blank Page, Blank Screen, Blank Mind

Without The Internet, Prostitutes Would Have to Find a Pimp Called Craig Who Had a List
It’s been one of those days, in fact one of those weeks. Knee-deep

before the fun stuff.
And whilst we’re at it, add a spot of
post-swine-flu cough (OK, OK, a chest cold) that’s slowly moving your
lungs from their rightful place to the open atmosphere, much to the
disgust of your colleagues. I’m a joy to be around, no, honestly.
Joining the dots
Procrastination can be a wonderful thing.
Honestly, bear with me on this. Whilst I am furiously working away on the website for Chinwag’s new media department, the Twhirl client that sits on the far left-hand side of the screen constantly refreshes with the stream of consciousness that emanates from the people I follow on Twitter. Some people call them Tweeps, but I’ve clenched slightly just typing that phrase, so I won’t.
