Today I what I call a net win day.

Firstly I fudged around with theme on this site. Previously, it broke when viewing large images in internet explorer. Now it breaks when viewing large in Internet Explorer. Just differently. Something that will go unnoticed on most pages. (I am only aware of one topic with large images - the Jummah Mubarak topic)

While doing this, I also managed to find the missing 20pixels that Internet Explorer was stealing (in short, I was not using the available width as Internet explorer was making the page wider than it should have been on some pages, but not all. The proper browsers out there was doing what they were being told to do.) I doubt anyone will notice this, but it is one less thing on my ToDo list.

hoho, another funny news story I just spotted on the beeb:

Blair to teach in the US on faith

Tony Blair is to teach students at Yale University in the US when he leads a seminar on faith and globalisation.

The former prime minister has been appointed as a fellow at Yale and will begin teaching next year.

The prestigious Connecticut university said the work was related to Mr Blair's Faith Foundation which will be launched later this year.

And here comes news from over the pond of a person being [url=http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/03/06/abu_jihaad_verdict/]convicted of International terrorism[/url].

The evidence? while serving in the Navy a number of years ago, he purchased some video's. He also in one email mentioned that his ship may be passing through some location. Which it did without incident.

Later, he left the Navy and never did any thing related to terrorism. So much for integrating into the community.

Is that a little weird? Since when has Gaza not been in crisis?

Anyway...

They include Amnesty International, Save the Children, Cafod, Care International and Christian Aid.

They criticise Israel's blockade on Gaza as illegal collective punishment which fails to deliver security.

I had boiled tomatoes on toast for breakfast. A breakfast fit for kings.

One of the few things I liked about early shifts was getting 2 has browns an egg and a boiled tomato in a muffin. Gorgeous.

I had no idea how to make it myself, and Google just revealed recipe's for tomato soup. In the end got a tin of peeled tomatoes in rich tomato sauce from Sainsbury's.

I Heated it all up 'til the sauce was bubbling (a word of caution - a normal tin contains 4 tomatoes - and average breakfast will probably be just one or two). Made some toast. In the same was as usual - no margarine or butter. Made a cup of tea. No sugar. That was on oversight, but since I drink very little sugar in my tea, I thought I'd roll with it.

My verdict? Delicious. Y'all should try it.

Clearly I have not been paying enough attention to the games industry.

Through [url=http://www.joystiq.com/2008/03/04/virtual-jihadi-mod-causing-tension-at-... I followed a link to [url=http://gamepolitics.com/2008/03/04/college-republicans-protest-iraqi-art... which had news (and links to an interview) about a Mod created by "Artist" Wafaa Bilaal called Virtual Jihadi:

In case you're wondering, the answer is 42.

That is the number of magazine items (excluding covers) I have now put back online. That is issues 1, 2 and 3. Go read them.

Found a few good metaphors. By good, I mean bad. Really bad.

Sounds simple doesn't it? But add to that the truth that you need money to make money.

Which brings us tom the news today that the price of metals is reaching record highs. A few months ago I had the idea that it would be good to invest in commodities that were devalued. Such as Silver. Only thing was I had no money.

I do not like to apply for jobs unless I feel reasonably qualified. I also try to be brutally honest to myself.

Now that is a recipe for disaster if I ever saw one. Especially since I want to move out of sales - my bread and butter role of the last few years. Most of my employment life.

I Just applied for a position of Junior Web Developer. I have been making websites, maintaining and updating them for years, but I really had to think before I decided that I am qualified to apply for such a role.
