A Favicon

Just to prove I’m still alive mainly, I made a little favicon for my site because I was sick of seeing it in my bookmarks toolbar with the boring default Firefox icon!

And here it is:

A ctrl+f5 clear cache refresh should get it for you if you can’t see it already..

Keeping on top of things…

The red circle indicates when I really got on top of my 68 RSS feeds in Google Reader. I’ve already dropped back to the usual levels of hardly reading anything.. It might be time for an RSS feed spring clean, instead of adding new content all the time.

So, if reading a bunch of RSS feeds is difficult to do, it’s even harder to post to my own blog – let alone upgrade to Wordpress 2.7 which was released quite some time ago now..

In other news, I passed my driving test on Wednesday 11th February 2009. Just after 1:30pm, I started the test by correctly answering the ’show me / tell me’ questions. I drove with the examiner and it was less than 5 minutes before I bumped the kerb going round a corner and thought I’d failed the whole thing. Carried on regardless, what else was there to do?! And came out of it at the end with only 4 minor faults. One of those being the bump on the kerb and 3 others for trivial mistakes. So I am very pleased and have been out driving in my car pretty much every day since.

There is much in store for this site, including better integration with all the other sites I tend to spend most of my time on. Facebook, Flickr, Twitter etc.. But all in good time.

For now, good night. And check back soon to read about my first encounter with the police…

WordPress Love

Well, the latest K2 nightly build works nicely with WordPress 2.5 and the upgrade went smoothly! Don’t worry, I had plenty of backups just in case it all went Pete Tong. (speaking of Superstar DJs, I’m going to see Armin Van Buuren in Nottingham at the end of May! Get in!)

Must admit to loving the new WordPress, a lot. So much has changed and it’s all for the better.

I’ve only lost my “Asides” post list from the right-hand column there. Nevermind about that for now though, I didn’t use it all that much.
