Forever 9 demoparty

November 8, 2007 – 1:13 pm

In case you’ve not seen it already Forever9, the premier European 8-bit demoparty has been announced. This is known as a “Good Thing”. The party is taking place in March 2008, slap bang between my wife’s birthday and my own (in fact about a week before my birthday, and a few days after hers). It’s [...]

Now I have to face stupid reality again

September 13, 2007 – 10:13 am

In case anyone didn’t already notice, my wife and I are back from our honeymoon. We’ve actually been back a few days, with her returning to work on Monday, and me yesterday. We’ve been a little relaxed with the updates to fwuffybunny.com, but rest assured we’ll soon be putting up some photos from the wedding, [...]

16 days

August 16, 2007 – 11:21 am

I’ve been a bit quiet on my main site recently – not a good thing considering it’s a news site. But I have my reasons, one of which is that my wedding is now only 16 days away. That’s marginally more than two weeks, for those who are mathematically-challenged. It’s odd, I’ve still not gotten [...]

Theme Test

June 21, 2007 – 12:28 pm

Just before I head off to a meeting I thought I’d try out the in-development theme. It’s far from complete but I want to see how it renders in a variety of browsers, and the easiest way to do that is to activate it and use browsershots.org, a fantastic free service that provides you with [...]

A Favour – in Russian

June 19, 2007 – 12:24 pm

For those who don’t know, my wife-to-be Catherine works in a museum – she’s something like the Curatorial Administrative Assistant (which is to say the general dogsbody) at the Fleet Air Arm museum. It’s quite an interesting job, and the museum is an interesting place to visit if you’re ever in the area. Part of [...]
