In case you can’t read it, the error message reports that the Video Player has encountered and error and will be shut down. Oh, and apparently the icons on the desktop need cleaning up — well done, Microsoft!
Las Vegas, July / 2013
Of course it had to happen — couldn’t be in USA for that long without a trip to Vegas. I wish I could remember everything I did but I think the pictures probably speak a better story. By the way I really dig the Aria hotel and the Cosmo — Bellagio’s is nice and all […]
Helper for Creating Firefox Extensions
I haven’t turned my attention to Firefox extensions pretty much since I left Vibrant Media — where I wrote a handful of extensions to help us with the IntelliTXT platform. That was about 4 years back — amazingly in all that time Firefox went from version 3.0 to about 26.0! As such I had to […]

(Very Very Simple) Bash Script to Delete Old Log Files
So here’s the deal: you have an application running on a Linux box which generates log files. And these files keep mounting up and grow and grow and grow in both number and size and you have start considering cleaning up old logs which you don’t use anymore.

Dear Banks, F… Off and Leave Me Alone!
OK, this is not the same as my other previous posts about idiotic recruitment, as in fact the exploratory email I have received from the recruiter was relatively well-targeted — minus the fact that I’m actually in USA nowadays not UK, but they obviously have a copy of my resume/CV from a while back so […]
