To celebrate the Summer Solstice here’s a link to Stonehenge on Google Maps. Note that Google have their own idea of where Stonehenge is and seem to have missed the large stone circle a small distance to the east.

Stop Saying “Like”
(via NeatORama) Oh. And here’s another one.
CSS Errors
More and more people are designing their web sites using CSS. And that’s obviously a good thing. If you don’t know why that’s a good thing and you’re designing a web site then I suggest you quickly buy and read a copy of Designing with Web Standards[1]. But the problem is that many people don’t… Continue reading CSS Errors
Spoilers
I’m not as bothered by spoilers as many people that I know. I don’t turn over quickly to avoid the “coming next week” clips at the end of TV programmes. But I do think that the Doctor Who spoilers that have been all over my usual newsfeeds this morning are taking things a bit too… Continue reading Spoilers
More Password Stupidity
I’ve just found two more web companies that don’t know how to handle passwords. And one of them was a company who I had a lot of respect for. Fotango are closing down their photo service. So that their users weren’t left stranded by this, they set up a deal with Photobox whereby Fotango customers… Continue reading More Password Stupidity

There seems to be some kind of football competition going on… Ok. I’m determined not to spend the next month complaining about the World Cup. I’m going to do my best to just ignore whenever possible. And this is actually going to be a positive post about the World Cup. You see, it all looks… Continue reading World Cup

Some of you will realise that the outdoors is not my natural habitat and manual labour is not my first choice of ways to spend the weekend. However, it had to be done… Continue reading Simple Pleasures
UK Music Fans Can Copy Own Tracks

The BBC report is here and the BPI’s version is here. Jamieson was… Continue reading UK Music Fans Can Copy Own Tracks
Flickr Spam
I got my first Flickr spam today. It was some religious nutter telling me all about their imaginary friend. The account that it came from has no photos, no contacts and no information in the profile. I’ve blocked the user, but I know they’ll just create new accounts. I really hope that Flickr stamp on… Continue reading Flickr Spam
Karma Download RIP
Whilst most of the attention is on the BPI’s attack on All Of MP3, another MP3 download site quietly died yesterday. Karma Download is currently showing a page which says that it’s “temporarily suspended”, but I hear that it’s very unlikely to return. That’s a real shame. Like All Of MP3, Karma Download sold its… Continue reading Karma Download RIP
