Walmart Shame Sep 23, 08, 8:45 a.m.

Boo.
After 3 years of not ever going into a Walmart store, as protest against their general corporate bastardness, meanness to employees, etc, my wife and I succumbed to the inexorabilities of the credit crunch and got some desperately needed groceries there last night. It was either that or not feeding the child as well as we could on the budget we had.
We both feel bad, like scabs or traitors, and are going to sooth our souls by volunteering at a food kitchen for homeless people.
Anyone got any other ideas on how we can make good on this ? : /

Band photos Aug 27, 08, 10:35 a.m.

Band photos are all crap.
There's always the 'craaaazy' one, usually the lead singer, pulling a face or looking really mean and into it, whilst the others stand there looking awkward like it's a bloody family portrait or nervously half-interacting with the antics of the 'crazy one'.

Uncool Confessionals Sep 3, 08, 7:41 a.m.

I don't really understand what the whole 'Aye Mon Then' thing is, or means, or even how to say it.

Idiot Test May 21, 08, 7:49 a.m.

From the BBC..
"Racial attitudes may also have motivated some Kentucky voters' decisions: of the 20% of white voters who said that race had played a part in their choice, nine out of 10 backed Mrs Clinton."

There really should be a screening question at the polling center doors..
"Will your vote be determined by the level of pigment in the candidates skin ?"
Yes ----> this way please - back out that door and into the parking lot from where you came.
No ----> Go ahead as you were, please use the pointed end of that magic stick to make what laughingly passes as your 'mark'.
I hope all their daughters run off with black men and return home only very rarely to taunt them with their beautiful brown babies.
Stinking shit-hole racist cunts.

Toilet reading.. Jan 8, 09, 4:28 p.m.

So yeh, I get so's I can barely actually go unless I'm reading something when sat on the throne..
I rush in, adjust clothing and sit, and become almost frantic to be reading.
If I'm really desperate I'll be flicking through my current 'read' trying to find my place before...oh...oh there we go... If I haven't got anything current, I'll even read the back of the toilet paper package or a shampoo bottle - anything.
Aqua (water), sodium laureth sulphate, sodium stearate, Yellow Lake 41, ammonium stearate...
At the moment, Im nearly done with Stones In The River by Ursual Hegl - A thoroughly excellent excellent novel about a dwarf woman living in wartime Germany. Very allegorical, very well written, but rather dense, like a good blue cheese - so 3 or 4 page sessions are perfect for the venue.
Anyone else got any ocd toilet/reading issues ?

Foreclosure Oct 15, 08, 9:16 a.m.

Anyone else a couple of weeks from being foreclosed on ?

fool Oct 13, 08, 8:21 a.m.

I said some stupid things out loud that I thought my wife would not hear, but she did, and she got more upset than I've ever seen her, and feel stupid and bad.
Well - I was fucken angry.

clever talk podcasts Jan 6, 09, 7:01 p.m.

On the lookout for intellectual and entertaining podcasts such as those typically found on the bbc radio 4 podcast page, ted.com, etc.
Themes and persons of interest typified by Christopher Hitchens, Michio Kaku, Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, any socialogical, scientific, design, political analysis, luminaries or experts.
Nothing better than 1/2 hr of brain stimulation to fall asleep to, brain awakes refreshed and fed.

The numbers on the... Jul 9, 08, 12:33 p.m.

outside of my house are terribly kerned, and it drives me bonkers everytime I'm outside and I see them.
Anyone know anywhere I can buy house numbers in a decent font (preferably one of the Gothams) ?

htaccess q? Jul 24, 08, 9 a.m.

not being an expert in the magic that is htaccess, I am wondering how to achieve the following.

I want any request to any files in folder/
to be redirected to the front page of the site index.html.

I tried :
redirect 301 /folder/ http://blah.com/
redirect 301 /folder http://blah.com/
redirect 301 /folder/.* http://blah.com/

but they seem to be trying to recreate the url by just missing out the folder name..
Any ideas ?
Ideally any sweet regex :)

Lost coffee... Jul 7, 08, 5:50 p.m.

I lose count of how many times during the day I:

a) Pick up my coffee cup, look into and find it's empty and evidently has been for some time..

b) Idly reach out to pick up my cup and pad around uselessly til I realise there isn't a cup there..

c) Drink from half full cup to find it's stone cold. In a siberian mud kinda way, not the refreshing chilled coffee type of way.. so I...

d) Shamefully go to the microwave to reheat it only to find....

e) A cold half cup of coffee in there....

f) Go to retrieve a cup of coffee from the microwave the I've 'remembered' I'd forgotten...
only to find there isn't one in there..

I've got used to the degenerative coffee dance, only to find it's started happening with my shoes.

What should I do? Sep 8, 08, 5:06 a.m.

I am about to make a decision regarding something in either my personal or professional life, that is somewhere between inconsequential and life-alteringly important.
At this point, I will give a little background in how I came to be in this position and maybe describe some of my hopes or fears of some of the outcomes.
Any advice or reflections on similar experiences should be posted below.

PS: Extra information that may or may not be critical.

A little word play Mar 18, 08, 7:34 p.m.

So we needed something more than just an email and a contact form for our company site, so why not just get all the nice things people have said about us, and animate that with a nice bit of overly kerned Gotham ?

div nonsense... Aug 8, 08, 1:54 p.m.

ok, so I've got a series of 4 divs that Im trying to put next to each other in a row.
The class is set to display: inline, and I've set the width to 155.
When I put a 155px in each, then they all sit next to each other fine, and it looks great.
However, when I try to add some text under the image, it busts out the side, and sends it all wonky..
I'm kinda confounded, I thought it was real simple..

Any help gratefully received..
