We have just returned from 8 days in Spain. We were based in the little mountain village of Albunuelas, South of Granada, with Mules, lemons, tapas, sun, snow and relaxation. Oh, and rather large local gins. While we were there we...
Dynamically altered CSS is something I have had going around in my head for about three years. Ever since I built the original Simon and Paula Garden website I always wanted to be able to change the CSS depending on the weather. It was...
Its not that often a really good online service catches my attention. However last night I signed up to the Bopspam service and so far its been brilliant. Bopspam is a service that filters spam out of your e-mail. It does this using some...
At last! Google.co.uk have recognised that us English have a patron Saint as well! Even Londons Mayor, Ken Livingstone, has put �100,000 into the kitty to celebrate the day - the same amount as St Patricks day. However he has unwisley...
