Birthdays

20/03/2007

I’ve just realised that this blog is now a year old, which makes it the longest running blog I’ve ever had.

While the updates haven’t been too frequent, I don’t think I’ve done too badly really. Especially as the whole thing was started by a post on the Multiplay Forums and I didn’t expect it to continue for more than a few weeks before I got bored. :)

Flying airbags

A woman with a medical condition causing her to have excessive flatulance tried to cover it up by lighting matches mid-flight, causing the plane to make an emergency landing. I bet that put the wind up her. ;)

New look

3/11/2006

I finally got around to writing my own theme for this site, after months of using the excellent Outthere theme by Ben. The new theme has the standard blog stuff, a rather minimalist theme but most importantly it has a sort of “minblog” system that I’m calling notes. You see, I was criticized the other day for the lack of updates, but the problem is that, while I often see things I think would be good to add, they usually aren’t deserving of a full post, with only one or two lines.

The notes system lets me add them in a bullet format without detracting from the main blog itself. Rather nifty if I do say so myself. ;)

Archery Fun

15/10/2006

I’ve just seen this rather amazing vid of a Korean archer doing the whole “splitting the arrow” thing. Very impressive.

Makes me wish I had a decent bow.

Due to a small oversight, irc-junkie.net wasn’t renewed and expired, after a couple of days and with a lot of help from Murray-Mint it has now been renewed. Sorry for the outage.
