Pun intended.

I’ve been sat here in front of the screen, finding it hard to deal with the bitter taste of rejection. Bowled over and grateful to the Stock Xchng community for sharing an unending supply of wonderful photos for banners, designs, cd covers, I suddenly got the idea to contribute a few photos. Not that they’re particularly good but might have been useful to someone writing about baking cakes or puddings. Or eggs.

Being unexpectedly internetless over Christmas in Wales, followed by the funeral then New Year party obligations has meant another gap and a complete abandonment of the “post once a day” resolution.

So here’s my new, new New Year Resolution for 2007.

A Happy New Year to one and all!

…back to blogging with a few sure fire ways of banishing the winter blues.

What the best dressed penis is wearing this season - Durex Dickorations are print, cut out and wear outfits for your best mate. What the internet was invented for.

How about us ladies then? Well… is your Betty ready?

Does having a dose of the lurgy dispense me from the “a post a day, come what may” thang?

I’m starting to feel better now and looking forward to sharing a truckload of shiny new things with you all but I’ve eaten nothing since Tuesday night and am feeling a little wobbly. Plan to go find something bland and vaguely appealing to eat, see if it settles then it’s back to the linkage business toot sweet. Honest guv.

Dammit, dammit, dammit.

Back to linkage then while I concoct another cunning plan. Quack. Quack.

Inspired by a post from Sadish:

Part 1
Now that you are a grown-up you are allowed to have __________ and _________

Part 2
Now that you are a grown-up you are not allowed to have __________ and _________

…when you’re about to go on a mini (working-ish) holiday. We’ll be wending our way to the Lincolnshire Wolds at the crack of dawn, hopefully ending up at a lake near Theddlethorpe St Helen which is just south of Grimsby and Kingston upon Hull.

It’s possible that I’ll have unbridled access to a borrowed wifi laptop but that could be a vicious rumour. Failing that, see you all Sunday. Be good. And if you can’t be good, be careful :-)

When the Keep Wales Tidy campaign first started it wasn’t long before the jokes and the t-shirts bearing the slogan plus appendage appeared.

Where was I? Oh yes, keeping things tidy. Don’t you think that anti-litter campaigns would be more successful if they used these five French students and their video?

WebCipher is a new (free!) html/css editor for Windows from Steve McTainsh. Still in beta but definitely worth a look.

HiveLive is a new way to share information via the internet. Signup by invitation only for the minute but you can apply for an invite or I’ve 20 invites to give away (leave a comment).

HiveLive is great for families, friends, clubs, associations, small workgroups, researchers, collectors, small businesses, bands, studios, non-profits, and more.

I’ve only had a very quick peek so far but love the clean interface and the community feel. And as with any good small startup, the development team are very involved and keen to hear feedback.

Question of the day: Why doesn’t Google invest anything in Blogger? [via Gordon]. More irritatingly, why does it not allow non-Blogspot commenters to save their information (name, email, url) instead of being forced to select “Other” and have to type them in each time (or select with Firefox’s auto remember thingy).
