Behind The Sofa

The latest Doctor Who episode, Silence in the Library, is proper Doctor Who. Watch it, be scared, but don’t hide behind the sofa. It’s dark down there.

Not only the longest blog title I’ve ever written, ever… but my second embedded video in a row! I’m turning into a blogger! Help me!

Or maybe I’ve just run out of things to do.

Dude, you sound like an idiot. Game looks mildly entertaining though.

Eurovision is entertaining me tonight. Of particular note so far are Bosnia-Herzegovina and Latvia.

Getting a Proper Clubcard with ,***

May 23rd 2008 at 1.44 pm

After dealing with Tesco.com on the phone yesterday to hunt down and fix a problem with my order, and having a huge shout at the phone menu systems:

Fucking phone menu systems!

I today received a handy little letter from Tesco Clubcard offering me my £3.50 in points vouchers (I’m rich!) and a load of other bonus points vouchers. Trouble is, only the points voucher will work online. All the others need to be scanned, along with my Clubcard, when I go to an actual Tesco store.

Clubcard numbers you create with Tesco.com don’t get an actual card sent to them.

So, off to the Tesco ‘contact us’ page to get the number for the Clubcard people: 0800591688***. The *** is important, although I recommend you put a pause before them, because it bypasses the damn menu system and lets you talk straight to a real person, ie how all the phone systems in the universe should work.

A simple chat later, reading out my Clubcard number, and confirming my name and address and a new card is winging its way to me. Hooray!

Inca Updates

As you may know, I run a small web server by the name of Inca. I’ve also just gone and done a huge set of updates - it now has the latest versions of just about everything.

Hooray for cPanel, it makes my life easy.

Bleeding Edge Again

May 16th 2008 at 3.58 pm

Just so you don’t worry too much, I am currently running the v2.6 bleeding-edge version of WordPress whilst I prod some features. This means there will almost certainly be some problems somewhere around the site (I’ve spotted a couple), but they shouldn’t be show-stopping. I’m also going to be doing regular SVN updates from the trunk so it should be as stable as any development version is going to be.

Go WordPress! Go SVN!
