I'll just debug this…

Only I could leap into action when told ‘The scroll wheel doesn’t work in netsurf gtk’ add debug statements, work out what I think the problem is, launch netsurf, grab my mouse to do some scrolling to see if I was right, only to exclaim “Aaargh, I don’t have a scroll wheel!”

Still, explains why I’ve not fixed it yet :-)

Charlotte's Web…

Beautifully presented. Gorgeous rendering. Tear jerker.

I loved it.

On this day in…

On a whim I decided to use IMDB’s ability to list who was born/died/married on a given day to look up my birthday.

It turns out that I share a birthday with Hugh Hefner, and that Francois Rabelais and Wierd Al Yankovic’s parents died on my birthday. (The former in 1553, the latter in 2004).

Perhaps more worryingly, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles, Robin Cook and Gaynor Regan, and Donald and Ivana Trump all decided to get married on my birthday.
