August 2004 Archives

This is quite interesting. I found a website which lets you see what a website looks like to people who are colourblind. The following are renderings of this page through three different types of colourblindness:
(The links on these pages will be broken. I know.)
Deuteranope
Protanope
Tritanope
The next one's a rendering of the photos page:
Deuteranope Photos
If you've built a website with lots of custom colours for links etc., then you might want to try it too. Bearing in mind that it's illegal (in the UK at least) to provide services which discriminate against disability, and colourblindness is counted as such.

Ooooh. Look at what I've got. 250GB. It sounds better if you say it as "quarter of a terabyte". Niiice.

Overhauled the scripts page. I've chucked some of the one-liners, and I've tidied up some of the rest. Peruse at your leisure.

Must... stop... playing... Unreal Tournament.
Why did they have to release UT2004 on Linux? WHY? My life is ruined.

Cleaned up some inconsistencies on this here site. Not that you'll notice. Also made (well, modified) the 'valid html' and 'any browser' things at the bottom of every page. Click on them, there's standards compliant creamy goodness behind them. Seriously.

New funkiness on the Egg e-mail front. Someone at egg (hello Robert!) has responded. Ooooo. And there was me losing hope.
Wanna see what he had to say? Of course you do.

Hello beatflies.
I have news that may, or may not, rock you to your core: Graham Chalmers is *not* playing at the next night in RG's basement. In his place will be the so far unknown talents of the otherwise legendary Mr. John Flannery. To elaborate, replacing a mixture of Deep House and Prog, there will be...
Deep House. Twice. How very congruous.
Should you wish to join us (and I recommend you do), I would advise relocating yourself to the basement of RG's on Queen Street (Glasgow) from 8 'till 12 on Saturday 28th of this month.
Directly after that, I would advise relocating yourself to the Subby, 'cause it's a Saturday, and that's what you should do.

More Google related non-news. It appears I have successfully pageranked myself to the point where every item on the first page of results when googling for 'ilikejam' is a reference to something I've put on the Internet. Go on, Google me. In the event that Google yet again pulls the rug out from under me, I have saved the page right here. A lot of people would kill for that sort of presence on Google. And yes, I'm aware that ilikejam isn't a real word.
Update: Google has tweaked the settings. My domination is no more. Arse. Celebrity pictures? Don't think so somehow.
