foolfillment: the blog


bookmarks at the ready

3:52 pm on the 24th of October, 2003

Stuart’s Weblog is drawing to the end of it’s life like Concorde. Following some rather pesky comment-bots stalking me I’ve decided to change my name, move house and assume a new identity. Soon foolfillment.co.uk will be set up and ready to go, it’s currently suffering from some teething problems but the support guy at my new hosts has been doing everything to allow Movable Type to function properly. I’ll let you know when it’s up and running. I haven’t decided what to do with this space yet but it’ll not cease to exist any time soon.

As far as news about me, I’ve been ill and it hasn’t been fun, and it wasn’t a hangover before you start although drinking the night before probably didn’t help. Still feeling fragile but at least I didn’t throw up on the bus today, which, I feel is always a bonus.

Am I an uncle yet?

    So you prefer Lordy’s advice to mine then. Harrumph. I’ll remember that when I buy your birthday present. Speaking of which, do you want it posted to arrive on Monday or would you be terribly offended if you had to pick it up when you visit next weekend. Given that I’ve not got a clue what to get you, and so haven’t bought it yet, next weekend would be my preferred option.

    Next weekend is fine, probably better actually as post to my flat isn’t too reliable.

  3. big bruv

    You mean your flat mate is intercepting your brown parcel deliveries?

  4. SM

    ah. so that’s why i only get bills.

  5. Lordy

    What is with the underlines in the comments?

    No, you’re not an uncle yet, but you know that, I think. It’ll happen sooner or later, but right now the smart money is on later…..

  6. SM

    they were there in the old site but they were thicker. could be changed though…

  7. big bruv

    Not an uncle. That’s what I wanted to know. A post a day will keep the curiousity at bay, Lordy.

    Like your logo Pie.

  8. SM

    like the logo but not the name, eh?

  9. big bruv

    The names a grower

    I like the logo too. And the wee favourites icon (I forget the real name).

    The underlines are funny. They only happen on the first line of the post. This one should demonstrate it for us well enough.

    Its up to you like.

    You’re still not an uncle.

  11. SM

    I still don’t really know what you mean about the underlines? Do you mean the line at the top of the main post body, under the date?

    What browser/platform are you using?

    and it’s favicon btw

  12. big bruv

    I meant the icon, actually.
    Not the logo. If you mean the little symbol like a smile that appears next to your sites name in My Favourites

    What Lordy means by the underlines is that the while you seem to think there is a line dividng the commenst under the identity of each commenter, it is actually under the first line of the next comment. So in Lordy’s post above (I assume it’s him, he didn;t say)
    ‘I like the logo too. And the wee favourites icon (I forget the real name).’ is underlined. This line runs the full width of the screen. The rest isn’t. And there is no line under the ‘Posted by: on October 27, 2003 03:15 PM’ bit either. But there is a line under your reply, starting ‘I still don’t know what you mean’.

    I have no idea what browser/platform I’m using. Nor do I know which one I use at home. I’ll look at the site tonite to see how it looks. I tried yesterday at home, about 11pm, when I was checking emails but couldn’t get in.

  13. big bruv

    Looks better now. Is it because you’ve fixed it, or because I’m at home so using a different browser???

  14. SM

    ah, good, i’ve just done it, i was in the middle of finding a download of ie5, as that’s seems to be where the problem was. does it need changed on any other pages?

  15. SM

    and what’s unmutual records? you’ve linked to it a few times now.

  16. big bruv

    Um Records, or Unmutual Records, is Marc’s record label. Currently only one release, and knowing Marc, it’ll be the only one, but it is by They Came From The Stars (I Saw Them), and that’s good. I was wondering if you’d notice.

    Big Sis In Law wishes you a happy birthday btw. She’s awful curious about your gerbils. Have you got all the stuff you need to make gerbils happy?

  17. big bruv

    Just a second wee man. 9.57 pm on your 19th brithday. And you are playing about with ie5, whatever that is. You’re a student, get drunk!!

  18. SM

    i’ll do that tomorrow night, but for now i have a folio to complete and hand in by noon tomorrow

  19. big bruv

    Your underline problem is still affecting me at work, btw. So it’s a server/browser specific problem.

  20. SM

    does it work yet!?

    it wasn’t so mucha problem with ie5 as newer browsers being too clever and letting me get away with bad code. hopefully it all works now?

  21. big bruv

    Yes. It does. Much neater.

  22. Lordy

    Yes, it sure does work. I like it.
