I know, I know. I’ve been ill I’m afraid, but am back up and at ‘em now. So, what’s been happening?
Well, the recent news on the web is how those half-wits the PRS have forced Google to pull all music content for UK IP addresses. If this is impacting you, then don’t panic. If you’re using IE, then Hotspot Shield will get around the problem. If you’re a Linux user, then Firefox has a couple of extensions that will block or spoof your IP address. If the worst comes to the worst, then there are plenty of anonymising proxies out there that you can re-direct through to hide your IP address. All in all then, a totally pointless move by the PRS which will only serve to harm the people that they are allegedly representing.
Other than that, I’ve been runing a comparison of getting Joomla, Drupal or WordPress up and going for a quick TTL site here. Probably going to plump for Joomla – purely because I know it, and the learning curve for Drupal is too much for my schedule right now.
The flights to Denman have been booked and Kit and Robin are talking about spending a few days treking and camping up in the Beaufort Range, so I’ve bought myself and Austrian four-piece rucksack and am loading myself up when walking Shelby. It’s an amazing piece of kit; The main rucksack is attached by a full yoke (two pieces), then a but-pack is attached to a webbing belt (two more pieces) and clipped to the yoke. Very, very comfortable. Very roomy and breaks down into a day-sack too.
Amazon came up trumps and replace the Guitar Heroes game that we got the kids (ahem) for Christmas.
Not only but also, I’m meeting up with Dad again for our now “Official” yearly meet-up in Cary this Easter. Charlie has promised to give me a few golf lessons in the meantime. Gina’s still loved-up. Jenny’s still crackers and Jules is still gorgeous.
