I like a ‘to do’ list as much as the next person.
Banner Ad to Support Haiti
Cross-posted from my Chinwag blog.
I was working late when the news started to come in about the earthquake in Haiti. The sense of something major unfolding on an unimaginable scale reminded me of listening to the radio as I heard reports of the tsunami.

Nasty Drupal and IE Error – Operation Aborted
Ooo, this is a fiddly little so-and-so. Finished putting together all the blocks for the site, all ready to get on with the work that I’m supposed to be doing only to discover that Internet Explorer is throwing an absolutely fit.

Operation aborted.
