Did Sheep on Drugs support Gary Numan in Folkestone in 1996

I've heard this mentioned before, it's making sense now, from this blog:they made all previous supports seem like geniuses in comparison (and I include Sheep on Drugs at Folkestone Pavilion in 1996)So something happened that night to get them kicked ...

Today I invented a brilliant new thing, called "podcasts"

Was surfing for news of Kid Rock yesterday, as a friend has been working with him and I was wondering if she'd show up in any paparazzi shots of him stumbling out of nightclubs or anything. No joy there, but he was interviewed by the Guardian yesterd...

I must have something more interesting to write about than php?

Um, no, perhaps not.I got a new hard drive at last, after all the problems I had with the ibook and having to send it back, I didn't rush into getting another backup job, but I saw a bargain at Maplin Seagate 500GB FreeAgent, and it seems to be worki...

Useful tips for guitar beginners!

This is what I was after, thank you Neil and Mark:cheat - don't use every finger on every string like the books suggest in strange cramped positions.if you want open chords 90% of songs are D C and G2 bar chord shapes and don't worry about extending ...

Kosso bigged up on techcrunch

They call him a seesmic.com clone but they like him... I thought phreadz.com was still a secret actually. For the uninitiated, it's like a chat room / message board, but based around your webcam. So many people have them these days that it makes sens...

The three rules of vegetarian food

From Neil, I hope he doesn't mind me reproducing this here, it's spot on. We were discussing pies:A veggie one would be possible, were it not for the first of the "foodindustry 3 laws of vegetarian food", i.e. "don't make it any fun", so unfortunatel...

The Long Blondes at the Amersham Arms

Just reading this post about a gig in New Cross (from one of my regular reads) makes me think I should go back and visit one day. I wish I'd bought a flat there when I was renting - I had more money those days, and I ended up paying more for this fla...

Should everything be a black box though? And WHY can't you fix my IPAQ?

It's just the battery I think, it won't keep a charge now...OK not everyone is building a clock out of voltmeters but the people who are trying to do this sort of thing have got to feel happy about it, I know I would if I could get more stuff for fre...

Stencilling

I like this, a stencil from Onion Bag Blogger, after Banksy. That's a potatoshop effect rather than a realistic stencil you could print and cut out out I think (see the fuzzy edges), but nice.How to stencil, stenciling 1000 video, Use GIMP to make st...

The rest of the weekend

RE: the text entry box is just something I was trying out at work

No-one reads the blog in situ any more, do they? It's all RSS and things isn't it? Actually that would mean that the maps and things don't even work, and AFAIK you do have to come here to post a message, so ignore me.Ten years, that's a long time, th...

Why is MJ Hibbett not showing up on my "blogroll"?

I've been using social bookmarking site del.icio.us to handle my links to other sites forever, getting (for example) a feed of my links tagged "blogs" and then filtering out just links I've given a rating too. I've saved MJ Hibbett so why's it not sh...
