So I hacked at the database a bit and got all the names reinstated. And then I converted all the categories to tags, and now all my posts are “uncategorised”. Cue gnashing of teeth.

I really like Wordpress. It’s slick and it just works. Until it doesn’t. And something about that upgrade didn’t. Now maybe it’s my fault for not rolling back upon seeing the fault. But ‘just barrel on and fix it’ is somehow inscribed on my brain. Thank goodness I had proper access to the database.

I’m also mulling over a bit of a refresh to the template I’m using. Just as soon as I can find some down-time in which to throw Jquery, some CSS and some PotatoChop at a wall and see what sticks.

Internal monologue ends.

The Machine That Changed the World: Great Brains - Waxy.org

So far I’m just into episode II, dealing with ENIAC and the breakthrough of computing machines into business. Thankfully I’m not quite old enough to remember punch-cards.

The song was Chase Me (from Master View) and the animation is available for your viewing pleasure on Weebl’s site. I’m glad I squared that circle.

Oh and Hexstatic also appear to have posted a lovely new mix up on their site.

The R.o.L code released there last week is GPL’ed and doesn’t represent the entire code base for the project but does give enough away to demonstrate working end to end from Maya into Flash and Papervision.

Though the project work represented there took place before I joined GT, it represents something I’m happy to shout about; a successful technical project which is aesthetically beautiful. It encourages play and user-engagement, and has rightly won awards and accolades.

I look forward to adding to the GT Labs contributions some time in the near future.

I found another space invader this week, right next to work. There are a few more needing photos which I’ll get around to as and when I can.

It’s been a busy few months and no mistake. Although not strictly cheese related, I felt I just had to share The London Review of Breakfasts. Great reviews, on a great subject, one dear to my heart. Not deeming it sufficient simply to review the food in question, most of the reviewers also recount the state of their minds at the time of the breakfast. Call it metaphysical reviewing. Whatever you call it, it works for me. A good bunch of folks with an unhealthy outlook on life, and a great love of the first meal of the day.

I can’t help but think that Pellici’s got a bit of harsh treatment though. Having said that, I wouldn’t know what their breakfast is like, since I only ever eat Cannelloni and chips there. But oh what chips.

But it appears that some Italian police have been found guilty of loving it just a little more than is strictly legal, and have been demanding cheese bribes from delivery drivers in Campagnia.
