message query for redesign

Sandbanks Restaurant, The Pavilion, Wear Bay Road - Sat 23rd Aug

I haven't written one of these reviews for a while and, to be honest, I wondered whether I ever would again. There are only so many times you can be bothered to write something about crap food served by people who don't give a damn about good food o...

popbitch redesign and contest!

See the contest on the homepage, don't enter it though, I want to win! If you really want a Gibson Les Paul, make a video and win a Slash limited edition.Everyone hates the new design. It's not my design, it's not really anyone's any more, bits have ...

RE: the text entry box is just something I was trying out at work

I've been in Ed for 10 years now, I doubt I'll move anytime soon.You can't keep adding features without a redesign, that's just crazy talk ;) A few news buttons, maybe a CSS overhaul, a cheeky bit of layout and BAM, you've got a fresh new look. You k...

the text entry box is just something I was trying out at work

and I thought "I'll have a bit of that"... We've lived here for about three years, but owned this flat for nearly four. We don't need anywhere bigger, thanks cheeky, but we do want a house and a new town, we're set on Canterbury.Redesign schmedesign....

RE: Who says the housing market is dead?

Are you moving again? It seems like only yesterday that you left your deborturous London ways behind you and headed to leafy Folkstone. Are you looking to get a bigger pad to accommodate little Paulies?Like the new text entry box, very cool indeed. A...

Show And Stay

Been working on Show and Stay for ages, it's just gone live today, SMART! It's a whole new look, courtesy of our army of designers and builders, but I've contributed most of the dynamic stuff, sometimes adapting things people here did before me and p...

Frank Skinner last night

Quite a good gig last night, Frank was funny and rude, and likeable because of his self depracating ways. He did two sets, with an interval, and then came back to do a little song on his banjo too. He's on tour for another two months, so see him if y...

And now I'm aching

I have monster back pain today, I don't think it's the day-after-the-day-after effect from our walk to Hythe though, as I was fine when I got up. Possibly I've just twisted, though more likely it's sheer weight of work, I'm working on a big old redes...

No pea soup for breakfast today

We've had crazy fog each day this week in Folkestone, but not today, it was lovely back and home and also nice here in London.Didn't sleep on the train in today, I suspect it's because the wife wasn't there beside me, she's taken the luxury of a day ...

Lovely weekend, thanks for asking

Had a few beers on Friday night in The Coal Hole on The Strand, a few more more than the one I intended, but great to see people. Was running late (having put the popex redesign mostly live), so had to get a cab there from work. It's stupid but I fel...

Popex redesign

Was planning to have my redesign of popex live today, but there are 8 minutes to go before I leave, and it's not ready, had all sorts of computer issues today... do I hurl it live before five? I think that's the best way, pick up the pieces after the...

Another tense day

Still got monster popex issues, half way between original code and redesign code at the moment, should get it stable before heading off to Folkestone for the week though...Got an annoying feature with the referer processing at the moment, it's not ha...

Daily productivity

Sorted out a mailing list oddity that was left over from last week, IPC wanting different listings to other people... bodged it by hand last time, and it didn't go out automatically on that day. Also fixed up something annoying where HTML was appeari...

More redesign

Goign to do more stuff on the redesign today and REALLY finish this damn admin system... the big stumbling block is making one page that lets a user easily edit lots of database entries at once... I've always stuck to a "one page - one row from the d...

Redesign

Working mostly on the redesign of popex today, talking punters round to the idea of the board looking different to how it does now... maybe make it more like this? I like how only the big subjects appear on the index, and then you click through to se...

Jobs for today

Half popex admin, including reworking stuff for the redesign, and half the artist profile pages and daily email for Barfly...
