There is a great article on it [...]]]> When it boils down to the darned hard coding – I’m still learning…
Arrays… I’m sure that’s my issue, for some reason I just can’t get my head round them properly.
If there’s one thing I have learned though in the past year is the proper doctype for the page…

There is a great article on it here: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/doctype/
It’s amazing that there are loads of books that just “skip” over this…

Anyways, I’ve got a few websites to finish off now, with Stag, TRS and hopefully a few others in the pipeline, they are all coming along well..!
And if you do need a website re-designed – let me know..

Still a big shout out to “Stormy” for helping with the php coding on UKwins, it’s still much appreciated!

Car - in the Snow

It’s annoyed me for absolutely ages, however, after reading about someone in the US being hit and nearly decapitated by a slab of snow/ice from the car infront, it’s prompted me to blog this. I know you’ve all seen it, the car in front driving round a corner and a big wad of snow just slides on off… Now put your child on the corner of the pavement, and a car comes round the corner with a driver who couldn’t be bothered to wipe the snow off the roof, and whooosh – wallop – comes off straight onto your child… you ain’t gonna be happy are you? NO…

Don’t DO IT!
Clear the snow off the Roof of your car.
IT’S DANGEROUS!

However, don’t clear it off with an umbrella, unlike the Mrs did with mine, and kinda scratched the windscreen… (thankfully she noticed before starting on the roof) Use a brush, or just bite the dust and wipe it off with your hands… Or better still – if you have a GARAGE – USE IT!!!

Rant over…

Well – what a few weeks, I’ve managed to complete 2 websites in the last 2 weeks… and had 2 great responses from the people involved.

Both were built on WordPress, with re-theming over an existing one, updating, adding pictures and galleries, with various different slideshows… now whilst they are both running of the “initial” theme and coding, they both look excitingly different and the similar – both at the same time!

during design – “Who the man!!!!! You the man. I’ve only seen it for a second on my phone but it looks awesome.”
After design – “Wow, it’s looking great, you’re a Star”

Bernd Clayton – Bernd Clayton Edinburgh Photography – www.berndclayton.co.uk

After initial design – “Oh, My God! Just come back from a 10 mile run so looking through sweaty eyes but even at first glance it looks amazing!”
After request to put the site live – “Go, Go, Go! It’s Fab!”

Ellen and Andy – Glengarry House Bed and Breakfast – Tyndrum – www.glengarryhouse.com

So – if you are looking for a website – then let me know!
Just send me an email – craig @ craigdearden.co.uk

Have a fun day!

I’ve said for around 4 or 5 years now that USA will become a major force in Football, and when I say Football – I mean Soccer for all you yanks out there!  So – half time – it was USA 2 Brazil 0, and what a game…. final score just in USA [...]]]>

Confederations Cup

I’ve said for around 4 or 5 years now that USA will become a major force in Football, and when I say Football – I mean Soccer for all you yanks out there!  So – half time – it was USA 2 Brazil 0, and what a game…. final score just in USA 2 Brazil 3.

The only issue with USA was stamina – it’s probably too many MacDonalds!

USA 2-3 Brazil

So – this is South Africa’s warm up for The World Cup next year, not many reports coming about security… however England aren’t there….  It’s funny when people (us here in the UK) talk about the Media – and when they say the “world media” – it’s really british…!  We are going to be reporting on everything that we can to save reporting on the home nations… Any other news is applicable..
England to win in 2010?
I think not.

Michael Jackson BAD

So – next up on the agenda.. wow… nothing really bigger than this over the last week.

MICHAEL JACKSON
THE KING OF POP
IS DEAD.

RIP.

Holy shit – where were you at the time?
Well, I was through in Edinburgh on a wee holiday… turned on the news before heading off out and shouted – holy shit Michael Jackson’s dead… Cheryl turned round and said – no way…

50 Dates at the O2…. I’m so glad I couldn’t get tickets…
(and yes I tried)
Holy shit – I still can’t believe it… what a legend.

Anyone have a favourite song? I’m sure most of you do…
Mine? well – it probably has to be : Man In The Mirror, superb, then closely followed with Dirty Diana and Thriller, then Billie Jean..  His best songs, man, so many to choose from.. what a shame – absolute scunner to the people who had tickets for the O2 arena….

What else has happened this past week?  Well – Farrah Fawcett also passed away – I was looking forward to re-runs of Charlies Angels, and all her other 80s shows!  Or why not even a replay of The Cannonball Run… She was another true great sadly taken from us at a relatively young age.

So – as I said earlier I was through in Edinburgh this week – through on Wednesday night, The Royal Highland Show, and the Zoo…. both were really good – free tickets for the Highland Show, and tickets bought online for the Zoo… so all nice and easy…

Carmen with her Dads' hat on

Stayed at a friends flat, which literally was a throwback to my student days in Edinburgh, (which I really miss) and would you believe it – but the flat is a stone throw away from my old flat in Scienna Gardens, wow, truly amazing!
Anyways – the big news… if you’ve ever been to the Royal Highland Show – you will know that the parking, and resulting entry and exit into the carparks is in a field…. along with 60,000 or so other cars…  Of course our car boot was packed to the brim.  So – when I got home, I thought, I’m a bag missing… but I didn’t take it out… however – I’ve come to the conclusion that I took it out to put the Camera back inside, then put the buggy in… got in the car and promptly drove off.. And yes, I think that’s where my camera is…along with the laptop, clothes, deoderant, smelly underwear and a downloaded DVD…. hmm, how do I explain that to the Insurance company… fuck fuck fuck springs to mind, so many pictures on the darned laptop, pictures of holidays from years ago… and I’m pretty sure I don’t have them here… a few are on facebook, and a few scattered about.. aararghh… that’s the worst part for sure… I managed to get a few photos with my phone though! (pants)
And do you know, this will be the second time that I’ve lost pictures.. the last time was when my hard drive packed in..

Well, that’s my news for this last week – it’s been good, it’s been shite, it’s had it’s highs, it’s had it’s lows….
Hopefully the next week will be just as good!

Michty Me…

Carmen repeated me saying that during the week, and it was soooo funny… Michty Me…
I bet you’re saying that right now…

Anyhoo, I’d better go – bed is calling…
and I’m working in the morning..

Hi folks, it’s Sunday, and I’ve got 10 minutes before I goto bed, I’m shattered, however – I want to stay up later, it’s probably too late to have a red bull as I’d be still whooping about at midnight and 1am…!

I’ve had a pretty shite [...]]]>

Red Bull - it gives you wings,.... and more

Hi folks, it’s Sunday, and I’ve got 10 minutes before I goto bed, I’m shattered, however – I want to stay up later, it’s probably too late to have a red bull as I’d be still whooping about at midnight and 1am…!

I’ve had a pretty shite week to be honest, actually make that 2 weeks, as you know my boiler broke down, that’s cool – home insurance’s Home Emergency call out should fix that, no, will it f***, “£1500 will fix it sir, but it might happen again soon” So yes, I get a quote for getting a new boiler (and shower – as I later found it was the shower that caused the boiler to pack in), so new boiler and shower – £2500, well, it was a buy now and pay later kinda deal, a no brainer (as long as I pay it I guess).

So this week it was installed, nearly 2 weeks of makeshift showers, 40 pans of boiling water for baths, getting extremely smelly…. and finally it’s here – HOT WATER – ya f**king dancer, ya beauty…

What else can go wrong?  called up for Jury Duty,…! – thankfully not me – the better half! but it’s still a pain in the rear as she needs to take time off work, and so do I… and they are a pain in the arse when it comes to that too – NO was their answer! – ho hum… I sooo need to leave there…..!

What else? well – this morning, here I was typing / working away at my computer when bbzzzzzzzzzz my second monitor decides to go on the blink, although, zzzzz, it’s now not working at all… – I now have a 15″ TV hooked up as my second monitor… (how do normal people survive on one screen)! so no doubt that’s going to be another expense…

Thankfully nothing else has gone wrong, ah, well, there was actually, haha, nearly forgot about this one – outside in the garden on Thursday, sitting on one of the chairs, and what happens, yes, you guessed – a you’ve been framed moment – the seat bloody breaks, what rotten feckin luck….. I’m sure the neighbours saw it and had a laugh at my expense…!

Anyways – that’s my 10 minutes up, but just read on the BBc news site that a person in the UK has died from Swine Flu, H1N1 disease…
Now I’ve seen this umpteen times, – the person has (had) underlying health issues…
Can some donkey please say what this is… what is the underlying health issues….
Feck – some codger has died from Swine Flu here in the UK!!!!!
so much for Anti-Virals!!!
it’s the start of Armageddon!

well, I doubt it – but armageddon has to start somewhere…. and it may as well be with the blinkin PIGS, the birds had a good attempt, don’t know what it will be next, but we’ll just get the Antidote for it, and then there will be a “variant” of the disease!

I’m not alarmist, but we’re all gonna die….
(Eventually).

Speaking of deaths….
Such a tragedy..
David Carradine… RIP big man, legend.
Even if you were committing some sort of sex act in a wardrobe with a noose round your neck…. why oh why don’t people learn… surely it can’t be that much of a thrill…. surely???
and no – I’m not going to try it….

Anyways – that’s been 15 minutes, so I’m going to hit the sack….
Cheery bye’s everyone.
have a good Monday…..

I might even do a news snippet as well…..
