WP-GotLucky Problem Sorted

February 27th, 2008 at 5:26 pm » Comments (0)

I recently got around to creating the required SQL tables for this plugin to function. I had a problem though, where I was not being e-mailed the results when somebody found my site from searching for a specific term. I tried a few different approaches, but couldn’t get the code to work.
oooops.
I actually got around [...]



WordPress In Kazakh !

February 27th, 2008 at 3:10 pm » Comments (2)

I meant to post about this a while back, but as you may have already guessed from the title, the WordPress software that this blog is based on is now available in the Kazakh language. Whilst it is likely that 99.9%§ of people who will be installing WordPress on a server are already able to [...]



What On Earth Are Oxygen Concentrators?

February 26th, 2008 at 8:47 pm » Comments (0)

Upon coming across the term ‘oxygen concentrators‘, my first guess was perhaps some sort of oxygen delivery system for students anxious to have their brains working as well as possible, prior to an exam or assessment - a bit like those athletes who inhale oxygen from an aerosol can. As it turns out, I’m not [...]



Tattooing Your Way To Health?

February 26th, 2008 at 8:39 pm » Comments (0)

OK, so the stock photo below may be a little misleading - I doubt that the procedure outlined in this article would involve a traditional tattoo artist administering a vaccine mixed in with their normal ink; rather using a tattoo style needle gun as method of delivery.

I still want to get another tattoo done some [...]



Mothering Sunday

February 26th, 2008 at 8:37 pm » Comments (0)

With Mother’s Day fast approaching (at least in Britain), I had best buy something online soon, if I want the parcel to arrive in time for Mum. Anyone got any good ideas what to get? The card is normally fairly easy to sort outline, as we use a service that write the letter and post [...]



Gilbert Goodmate on a WM6 Device

February 26th, 2008 at 8:29 pm » Comments (0)

Just got round to installing all the applications and games I have on my old (mostly broken) iPAQ 2210 over onto my HTC TyTn II (originally known as a Kaiser). I’ve run up against a few problems, with some old games informing me that I need to have a device with at least Windows Mobile [...]



118 Video

February 23rd, 2008 at 2:29 am » Comments (0)

To my UK readers, this has nothing to do with pretend marathon runners with dodgy 70s moustaches…
I was watching one of the Swiss satellite TV channels, when a strange advert came on. It was a music video, with some a very distracting women, and some firefighters. All singing un un huit. Back in Britain, numbers [...]



Stretchy Protection

If you want an example of an impressive looking promotional video being used, then you might want to watch the invisibleSHIELD video below…

The demonstration is impressive, however, as you may remember from school, a material that is strong in one aspect may not automatically be so impressive in others. For example, if you happen to [...]



Virtually Real?

February 23rd, 2008 at 1:34 am » Comments (0)

No longer really virtual at least… Before assuming I have had one too many vodkas (nope, tonight’s total = 0 !), head on over the BBC’s article here. Whilst it was an interesting read, when Mr Kurzweil made reference to being able to plot the future by looking at progress over the last 50 years, [...]
