I’ve just added a blog for Brighton Bloggers. It’ll either get used to organise further meetups, or as a community blog… My first post explains how to register an interest in becoming a Brighton Blogger blogger.
On my journey to
On my journey to work this morning I was listening to the Mercury Music Prize 2003 CD, and I’m going to have to go and buy Permission to Land by The Darkness, as their track on the Mercury Prize CD really had me wanted to jump around. The Lemon Jelly track “Ramblin’ Man” is also kind of interesting (from the Lost Horizons album), although it does remind me a lot of The Divine Comedy (not that that is a bad thing of course).
ve been doing some
I’ve been doing some work with Nigel on a site he’s designed, just doing some dhtml tinkering, and thought that before I started writing the code I’d see if I could find something that did at least some of what we wanted. Thanks to Dynamic Drive I’ve only had to make the content specific, everything else worked like a dream – across IE 6, Mozilla 1.4 and Safari 1. A pretty useful site, and some pretty useful code too.
put up new email
I put up a new email address for Brighton Bloggers on Thursday evening, and today I received my first bit of spam to it…. from an email harvesting company. Pah!
On Thursday evening, Josh and I were discussing the idea of a SpamBlog, a blog that people can post their spam to. Okay, so it serves no real purpose, but we could publicise the email address and let spammers spam it directly, and cut out the middle man 🙂
And another Brighton Bloggers
And another Brighton Bloggers/wifi observation. The only bloggers who had their laptops on display, had Macs. So, are the PC laptop owners too embarassed to bring their ugly bricks to the pub with them, or are they just too heavy (I know mine is!)?
Brighton Bloggers Meetup
So, tonight was the Brighton Bloggers first meetup. And, of course, Jeremy and Pete were blogging from the event (we were at Grand Central, complete with wifi provided by Loose Connection.)
On Saturday evening we

On Saturday evening, we helped Simes celebrate his birthday by going along to one of the Music for a Summer Evening events at Kenwood House. We saw Bjorn Again, and I have to say they were great. I’d never been sure about the whole tribute band thing, but thought it might be fun, and it was. Daisy, now 18 months old, appears to be a bit of a rock chick, and seemed to particularly enjoy herself.
So when look out

So, when I look out of the office window, this is the view I get. It’s probably the best view I’ve ever had from my desk…
The Brighton Bloggers meetup
The Brighton Bloggers meetup for next week has been mentioned in today’s NTK Event Queue which is pretty cool.
Rescue mission
On Tuesday, just after I’d got home from work, Kirsty called to ask me if I could help her. Jeremy and Duncan had gone out on a bike ride, and had both fallen off their bikes and injured themselves. Kirsty came around and collected me in her truck, and we headed off to find them. Fortunately they’d gone on a ride I know well, and so with the help of the OS map we were able to find them. We dropped them off at the hospital, then unpacked the bikes before Kirsty headed back to sit in A&E for 4 or so hours. The diagnosis was that Duncan had fractured the tip of his finger, and Jeremy had to have 14 stiches in a nasty cut on his forearm.
