Miscellaneous rants and ramblings about whatever my hands type.

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.

Web development is a sack of shit

There are some developers out there who feel like they need to know the answers to everything before they can get started on even thinking about starting a project. For the most part, they’re right – but there are times in development when you just don’t know. Is it important to know that there will be exactly 7 links on a page? I argue that (from a development point of view), the only thing you need to care about is that it’s more than one and less than ‘lots’.

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

#earworm take that - could it be magic. Seriously?! On my last day of being 25, that's what you give me?! #fail 2 hrs 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.
