Take the juice from one bottle of that Ol’ Janx Spirit.
Pour into it one measure of water from the seas of Santraginus V.
Allow three cubes of Arcturan Mega-gin to melt into the mixture (it must be properly iced or the benzene is lost).
Allow four litres of Fallian marsh gas to …

Flickr Powered Moblog

11 May 2005

I’ve added a moblog to the sidebar by using a flickr badge to display the most recent 3 photos from my photo stream. I’m considering getting it set up to show only photos I tag with moblog, but for some reason I couldn’t get that working when I …

Just Drinks by Drunken Monkey @ Flickr

9 May 2005

Drunken Monkey has a cocktail photoset at flickr with photos and recipes for all the drinks. I especially like the look of his Mojito - I’m loving muddled drinks right now. The Moscow Mule looks nice too.

Chocolate Martini

200ml Vodka
50ml Cointreau

Breaks Co-Op : The Sound Inside

6 May 2005

The Sound Inside, the second release from the Breaks Co-Op, is the perfect album to accompany a hot summer’s day at the beach. Or rather, it would be, had I bought it in the summer. With winter rolling in, this album has become my …

Sol

6 May 2005

Sol seems to be very trendy at the moment. I even had one customer who was so shocked that we didn’t serve it that he settled for a glass of water instead. To be honest, I can’t see what the fuss is about. It’s nice, …

45ml Gin
22.5ml Lillet Blanc
15ml Creme de Cacao
22.5ml Lemon Juice

DIY Margarita Maker

Beautiful. Make just posted a link to a margarita machine - basically a water cooler hooked up to a garbage disposal. Now there’s something unusual to build into a kitchen counter… [Via Make]

Richard Dawkins - Spiked Science Survey

3 May 2005

Natural selection escapes the infinite regress, because it starts simple, and works up gradually - step by step - to statistical improbability, and the illusion of design.

On the centenary of the publication of Albert Einstein’s ‘E=Mc2′ equation, spiked-online asked 250 scientists what they could teach the world if they …

New Zealand Music Month

3 May 2005

It’s New Zealand Music Month again so I thought I’d do my bit to plug some local music. It seems Kiwi FM, the first all New Zealand music radio station, is having a hard time getting people to tune in. Perhaps they’d be …

Upgrading to WordPress 2.6
17 July 2008

Blogtender was hacked yesterday, resulting in a handfull of posts getting a list of invisible links added to the bottom, I assume in the hope that Google will pick them up. After changing my passwords (probably unnecessarily) I decided to upgrade to WordPress 2.6. The upgrade process is easy …

This is a fun little script I wrote up that reads your weekly top albums chart from Last.fm, gets the cover art for each album, then displays the top albums on your blog. Scroll to the bottom of the page to see how it looks. …

In case anyone else runs into this problem in the future, here are the steps needed to share a Canon Imageclass 4140 laser printer between OSX and XP. I’ve only tested this under Leopard, but it should work for Tiger as well.
