British Inside

Take a look at www.theroadkings.com - notice especially the URL’s as you click around the site. The whole thing is ajax-driven, with no way of linking to a specific page (at least without downloading the ajaxEngine.js and reading the file). It’s a superb example of using latest kick-ass technologies completely inappropriately. Why ...

Jasmine has returned after 5 weeks in the shop. An old woman ran a stop sign and did a number on the front end of the car and although her insurance company picked up the tab, it still took forever to get fixed. No-one makes parts for this car, so everything had to be found and bought from individuals or junk yards. Took her out at lunch time ...

Today I was tidying my office and came across an old UK car registration document that I no longer needed (obviously). A reg for a 1937 Ford that is, so quite unusual. I had bought a US title and "imported" it into the UK back in '96 to use on my 'glass 37 Ford replica. So, just for grins I thought I'd post it for sale on ...

I almost got away with it; this morning I figured that if I hadn't got tagged by this meme by now I missed it - but it wasn't to be. ScottW got me. I don't think it's a rule that the five things have to be embarrassing things, but it strangely seemed easier to play it that way..I once rode 10 miles from my village to the ...

Schtum: adj, slang. Keep quiet, maintain confidentiality  Working on a secret project at Telligent has made it tough to blog on technical subjects this year. I'm a big fan of open process and loved to talk openly about the development of Dozing Dogs CMS but that's not been possible with the new product in this higher stakes world ...

I *think* I just fixed my phone so that it sends smaller photos to my blog. We'll see... Published with BlogMailr

I've been working in my new 600sqft office all this week, and I love it! Tara and I joke that I may never go home again, especially as the commute has definately got worse - now almost 100ft from the kitchen. When we had the garage built the upstairs was for storage, but that only lasted a few weeks before we insulated and sheetrocked. Here ...

I've been meaning to post a picture or two of my laptop for a few weeks now, since Scoble posted about laptop stickers. Well, here it is with lots of room left for cool hot rod/retro stickers as I find them: I went one step further and took my laptop with me when I visited master pinstriper Brian Papa of www.PapaStudios.com to lay down ...

After a very sweaty morning in the attic fitting four more spot lights ("cans" I think) to the kitchen ceiling Charles came over this afternoon and we stripped the '37 engine that has been wrapped up since ~1996 when I crashed the '37 while testing in France. I had prepared the engine for a long stay (backed off the ...

New house, new routines. It's strange how blogging has suffered from me moving 3 weeks ago. I have 660 unread blog posts right now as I find that reading them has become a lower priority. As has writing them. I used to want to blog every day, but that desire has vanished for now. Maybe it'll be back! So, I moved house. We love the new ...
