I am a kitten

Though I wouldn't liken myself to a kitten, I do know the exact feeling you describe here. And it *sucks*...

A new job

"What will you be doing for Apple" -- I'm wondering this too.

Congratulations though :)

Solving CSS problems for Mozilla Europe

Can they not use a template system (like __() and _e() in WordPress) so that the translators translate strings rather than pages? That would seem more sensible to me...

Chris MacDonald

I don't want to make this blog sound like MSN, but all I can think of to say about Andy's comment is "LOL!"

Tres amusant.

Applying CSS to external services

This is a good idea, and we'll probably see features like this come into place over the next few years I'd expect. Mr Poll could still leave their name on the site, and maybe even a note saying it…

Small dog on Stinson Beach

I'll be honest. I don't like this one.

I don't like it because you can hardly see any of the dog's features, just a silhouette. Maybe it would be nicer a bit closer up, but still with the lovely…

Nice photo! I really like this one.

Lemur therapy

"Those people from Amsterdam tend to suck, you know."

Probably because most of them are tourists that have come there to get stoned ;).

The Netherlands?!?!?! From over here in ye olde englande, people tend to thing of the holland as a place where you go to get stoned, pissed, and then laid, all on the same night. Although, I saw a…

Diet Pepsi, the choice of Athlets

If you wanna know something that *really* gets me angry is when people call me a European... Call me British or English, but not a bloody European! (Please!)

Perhaps we should be pointing and laughing at her parents instead. Because it's probably more their fault than hers.

It's probably not actually the drink that made her put on a few pounds... You can't see from the photo, but that drink came with a Big Mac and large fries ;)

Baseball batter at Oakland Coliseum

Yes, but "olog" sounds terrible! :)

If a "blog" is actually a "weblog" then should we be saying something like "phlog" instead of "photolog"? ;-)

Sin

I haven't used it as much as I've used Photoshop, but I used it a bit the other day to make Tony Blair look like a goblin (my English teacher gave us homework to make a "WANTED" poster for Puck…

Do you ever use the GIMP, Dunstan? (Just interested)

Shooting things

I've never fired a gun like that, but I've fired other guns. I was in the UK Air Training Corps (aka. Air Cadets) for a while, and got to fire two different weapons. Can't remember either of their…

Link presentation and Fitts' Law

A good post Dunstan. It's certainly something I will think about in the future.

I fully agree that bigger buttons are better (within reason), but I have to say that I'm not totally crazy on the…

Facts from Oliver Letwin

"However, although this has been an interesting discussion, it's not what the original subject is about. So that's all I have to say on that :P"

Turnip nods and waits for Dunstan's next post :D.

Heh, if you're U18 like me, you don't have to pay tax ;) (Bar VAT *glare*).

"They're usually in it purely because they didn't get to be what they wanted to be in life (e.g. science teacher failed to become a vet) and that's what ruins it."

Either that or they didn't…

"88,000 new people were employed to work in education last year; just 14,000 of these were teachers of teaching assistants."

And out of those 14,000, what percentage are actually good teachers?…

Swallows and Frogs

Yeah, whether it's a toad or a frog, they're nice photos :)

I knew that they weren't the same Richard, it was Chris Clark that said that. I just said that I thought it was a toad, I stand corrected ;).

I'll take it from you then ;)

Reason that I said it was a toad, is because I was pulling up weeds for my parents a few weeks back and I saw one very similar, and my Dad said that it was a…

Dunstan, I'm pretty sure that frog is a toad ;) But nice pics.

"and has always managed to sound interested as I explained the intricacies of learning to parse XML feeds in Python and PHP."

This reminds me of a friend of mine. I am always talking to her…
