New site – devbytes

Nerds can simply never have enough websites. I am, it seems one of those nerds. My new website will contain short code and programming philosophy snippets.

The place that’s halfway between blogging and microblogging

140 characters can often be too short. A blog post can often be too long. Have a genius idea that fills up the space somewhere in the middle of those two? Posterous might be for you. It’s definitely for me.

Why I won’t be buying the Rage Against The Machine single before Christmas

There is a big campaign to get Rage Against The Machine to be the top of the charts for Christmas. It’s just not right. I don’t want them to be Christmas number one – and for good reason.

Why this post has a cheesy image in it

Freebie images is a plugin for WordPress which lets you quickly and easily add free imagery to your posts.

Redesigning slightlymore and a fun side project

My close friends will know two facts about me (probably more, too): I work a lot and I love roller coasters. I’ve already confessed to the near death of slightlymore in its current incarnation and after getting back from a holiday to Spain to a theme park, I have decided to write a book to give me something to do in the evenings instead of work.

slightlymore is dead – long live slightlymore!

So it appears that my blogging activity at slightlymore has slowly but very surely ground to a halt. This wasn’t intentional – I set up the site with very specific goals; to own a website which was a great resource for developers with some great tutorials on it. I just don’t have the time to [...]

Google Chrome Frame. Saviour of the internet?

It’s a simple and brilliant concept. Get people to install a plugin on internet explorer, add a meta tag to your source code, then Google Chrome Frame will render the page using Webkit and its Javascript engine instead. It sounds like it could save the internet. But will it work?

Diary of things

I’ll just tell you – you probably already know anyway. I’m a lazy blogger. I don’t seem to have time to write as many articles as I’d like for slightlymore. I know what the problem is – I don’t write enough because I have this strange inability to put small or waffley articles on it – I’d rather that it stayed as a blog devoted to development and internet related things. My new site diaryofthings.com will give me an outlet for mindless wifflings, allowing me to write more relevant content for slightlymore.

oxfordbloggers.com

It was around 9 or 10 in the evening in the Jam Factory. After a very successful Ox Tuttle, Ben Walker (@ihatemornings), Colin Mercer (@colinmercer) and myself came up with one of those genius drunken ideas. oxfordbloggers.com is it.

Me on the intertubes

It wouldn't be right to have a web site, be a nerd, and not take this opportunity for a bit of shameless pluggery.

If you like all these weird and magic internet page things, you should try Coaster Nerd, Oxford Bloggers or, if you'd really like some unexplainable sourcery, is it the weekend yet.

Also you should follow me on Twitter ;)

Where to find me

I can be found fairly regularly at Oxford Geek Nights, OxTuttle and other general nerding out activities in and around Oxford.

I am also often found in my natural habitat which is anywhere that you can find an adreneline machine. I frequent English theme parks more often than is healthy, and take trips abroad to sample foreign rides.

From the aviary

Was having a decidedly crap day of development. Just got much better. It's nice when things go your way. #win 1 day ago

Comedy disclaimer

These posts were written at the time of writing and may not still be accurate or reflect my opinions any more. In fact, they may not even be correct or representative at the time of writing. You see, when I write, I just write. I don't do that thing which they always told you to do at school and plan what you want to write first. Because of this, there will almost certainly be a load of typos, grammar errors and incorrect facts and references. If this makes you feel queasy, I apologise that you had to get to the bottom of the page to read this, and hope that some day, you'll learn to forgive me.

What's this site?

Slightlymore started off all too formally for my liking. In the depths of the archives, you'll find tutorials. However if you read the more recent posts, you'll find them a lot more playful and about fun and interesting stuff.

Annoyingly difficult to use tag cloud
