“You people just cannot be trusted” – Cameron UK Prime Minister David Cameron called an emergency press conference at 8am this morning, to announce that the usual 1st April tradition of April Fools’ Day would be cancelled this year for the general public’s safety, in light of the recent petrol panic-buying trauma. “It is with [...]
This morning I discovered, whilst laying in bed listening to Rob Da Bank on Radio1, a term for a genre of music which has probably been around for ages (especially given that it seems to encapsulate Burial in some way): future garage. It’s like, garage, man, but it’s in the future! Or, the present, as [...]
Seems Facebook have removed (or, given the distributed nature of their codebase, are in the process of removing) the “sk=top” kludge that powered my old script. So, if that’s stopped working for you, here’s the replacement method. It’s been replaced with a new command, so here’s a new script to default the logo and home [...]
Yesterday, several zombies arose in Brighton and done a walk all the way from somewhere to somewhere else. According to an official count from the main organiser there were around 4,000 of the blighters! 3,500 started out, with around another 500 latecomers (well, they are zombies after all) joining in as they went, and I [...]

The Clue’s In The Question Decided today that my trusty grey-and-orange blog-face needed a bit of a makeover, found this rather lovely minimal theme, and after a touch of tweaking, I’m quite liking it. Everything’s nice and clear and tidy (except for that opening sentence, but ho hum). Internet Exploder has other ideas, of course! [...]
I’ve been “reliably” informed by a buddy of mine that there is an actual process to get things a little more back to normal on ye olde Facebook News Feed. I’m in the process of trying it, so can’t verify, but thought I’d post it up anyway, because of stuff. Go to Account Settings, then [...]
You see, I have just arrived home to discover the latest changes to what you think I want to see in my news feed, Facebook. As is probably implied by the fact I’ve written a blog post entitled as this is, I’m not exactly enamoured with the changes. The core problem is basically this: Your [...]
OR – A Mildly Clever Little Bit Of Marketing Let’s say you’re an Android app developer, you’ve written a few little things, and you want to get some traffic to them. How would you go about it? Well, if your name’s Chris Economou you do it by creating an app with an interesting name, leave [...]
