Happy birthday to me happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me..eee; happy birthday to me. Plus a new look and hassley comments

3 or 4 of you might have noticed yesterday that the blog was, as Dave put it (slightly too technically for some) fucked.

Well, I figured I'd inadvertently put some open ended tag in the last entry which had reformated the entry text. Sounds plausible but I couldn't find it so was left with delving into the template I had used. That was far too technical for me so I opted instead to choose a new one.

They've added some new navbar to the blog pages and I think it screwed with something in the old template, conveniently making it someone else's fault that you are being forcefed a new look on the blog. Plus, the coding for the Haloscan comments was lost with the change in template so I thoiught it would be easier to use the blogger comment system instead. It's a little odd in that you're supposed to log in but never fear, you can post annonymously and put your name in the text so everyone can see whose clever quip that was...

Nothing much in the news today, except I am re-discovering Internet radio and currently have John Peel's latest show blasting out the speakers and disturbing the cat.

And bubble left this morning without a mention my new found age. Funny, if I give her the cold shoulder for the next week, then I'll be the patyhetic one, but when a guy forgets his wife's birthday, a mere weeek of the cold shoulder is seen as a compromise on the wife's part.

Funny old world.

Just looked at the clock and realised it's 1/2 eight so I should trot off. Internet is down at work (something about a wall and some fire and lost packages or something) so will have to wait for your miriad birthday messages 'till I get home
