Oops! Forgot to put a title!

Filed under spirituality | No Comments

Part 2 of Marianne's quote wasn't that great so i didn't post it, but part 3 is nice … gives me something to think about today:
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own [...]

Ajax me up, baby!

Filed under mychores, web 2.x | No Comments

Just a little demo of what i have managed to achieve tonight on MyChores:

Gosh, i love Prototype! :)
If you don't understand why that's so thrilling, don't worry! I get a little bit excitable by little things sometimes! The important thing is that i did this by intention, rather than just copy-pasting other people's code until [...]

Brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous!

Filed under spirituality, work | No Comments

Here's a quote i love, brought to me today by newspirituality.org:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us."
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not [...]

Geeky phone number trivia

Filed under geeky, interesting | No Comments

I learned today that UK phone number area codes are more than just random numbers. They are *actually* coded areas. This works for most 5-digit area codes beginning 01 … the next number (or often two numbers) contain a reference to the area. Here are some that i know:
01962 - 96 = WN for Winchester
01622 [...]

Watch out for flying pigs!

Filed under livejournal | 1 Comment

LiveJournal are bringing back basic accounts! SUP have just done the improbable and actually *listened* to their userbase!
They want to plaster them with ads, of course, and there are four complicated proposals that i can't get my head around. Not that i really care much, so long as they don't put any ads on the [...]

I finally feel ready to explain the grief that i was feeling when all i could manage was a full stop to get my feelings out into the big wide internet.
My kid brother is badly ill. Since there are 11 years difference in age between us, i played a big part in bringing up my [...]

MyChores seems to be growing quite rapidly at the moment. I think it is receiving a bit of quiet promotion all around the internet. I was delighted when i saw it casually mentioned on familieswithpurpose.com:

Caught in a Storm

Filed under art, harry potter | No Comments

No, the title isn't in reference to the current freaky weather we are having (though there have been many surprise storms this week!) but it is the title of a picture that has been drawn … for me! :)
I do like the twoseekers community on LiveJournal, dedicated to Harry and Cedric, my one true HP [...]
