Waffling

Where does the mystery hidden code above come from?

Maybe it’s Demi Moore crying, maybe it’s memories but that little 5 letter word Ditto does it to me everytime.

I’ve just sat and watched Ghost for what must be at least the tenth time and it gets worse everytime.

Sat here now, eyes streaming and just can’t stop.

21 years ago, the memories are fading but Ditto brings them back.

Simon Tofield tweeted about the new Simon’s Cat video Hidden Treasure on Monday and it is is now on YouTube.

I dare say it will be on youtube soon and on the www.simonscat.com website.

One of the last thing Simons Cat pulls out at the end is a nice link back to the original Simon’s Cat video  Cat Man Do

It appears that the Stratford District Council website was hacked over the weekend. The hackers left a pop up box message and the calling card :::Xp4tH:::

Despite the bleak economic predictions it looks like this years must have home appliances are likely to be Wine Coolers.

We’re not just talking about small every day wine coolers here, we’re talking luxury wine cabinets.

Wine cabinets come in a wide range and offer options of; single temperature, three temperature or multi temperature. They also range from small under worktop units to superbly styled cabinets that don’t look out of place in any dining room.

Designed for long term wine storage, the three temperature and multi temperature wine cabinets also have compartments that store both red and white wines at perfect serving temperatures.

I see there is a Google logo for the 122nd Charlie Chaplin birthday today.

Does anyone who the Charlie Chaplin Lookalike is that they are using?

I’ve had a bit of a blank over the past couple of weeks, it’s not so much that nothings happening, more that too much is happening.

Although I don’t really need to work any more I am finding myself starting more and more projects and being more and more in demand.

Unfortunately this has meant I have spent less time just waffling on sites like this one which in turn makes me stale for when I do eventually sit down for a good waffle.

The main thing keeping me from waffling at the moment is the fact I am moving my main business directory site to a new server, and whilst doing this taking the opportunity to give the coding a good clean up.

The look won’t change a lot (yet) but  it should run a lot faster, be more manageable and will be easier to update in the future.

I tidied up the Cherington website today.

It’s a little website I set up for the villages of Cherington, Stourton and Sutton-under-Brailes a couple of years ago but unfortunately nobody ever contributes any thing to it.

Hopefully in 2011 I will be able to persuade more people to join in.

I set up my page ready for the Queen’s christmas message 2010 and will be posting a transcript of the Queens Christmas speech soon.

I have been doing this since 2004 and also have transcripts of all the speeches from the early 80′s to the present year.

I first starting doing this because at the time there was nowhere else doing this, but now the Royal website has also put all the speeches online too.

2010 looks like being a boom year for hen sales as Christmas presents.

Popular hen website A Hen Is For Christmas has had more enquiries this year than they have ever had before.

Website owner Joe McDonald was too busy packing hens to talk to us but shouted across the yard “oi get orf my land”

I bought the ebook version of Simon’s Cat Beyond the fence to go on my iPad as one of my dughters Christmas presents.

The problem is, she will be wanting to use my iPad before Christmas and will probably see it on my iBooks bookshelf.

I’ve been trying to find out How to hide a book in iBooks for iPad but have had little joy, if anyone knows please comment below.

The Right Click and Copy Shortcut is a pain in the Google Serps again.

I see John Lewis are using the personalised ad system from Criteo.

How did I find this out?

Because John Lewis have ruined my Christmas surprise

My wife was doing some Christmas shopping last night, I started browsing this morning and kept noticing the same John Lewis advert appearing a lot of times, a closer look revealed it told me the lat 4 items my wife had looked at on the John Lewis website, one of these obviously being my Christmas present

The privacy issues of this astound me, anyone using a shared computer is effectively telling the next person who uses it which sites and products they have been looking at.

Come on John Lewis please stop using this form of invasive advertising.
