Apparently I’m hosting dodgy content

I just performed a quick search on Google for a couple of keywords I knew appeared on my website and discovered the following:

Google Error

Apparently, the information about building a traffic shaper may harm your computer if you view it!  Err, I think not!  I've submitted a review request to Google and StopBadware.org to figure out WTFs happening here.

Testing Windows Live Writer

This is just a quick test post written using the new Windows Live Writer beta.

As I'm writing this, I'm looking at a WYSIWYG view of pretty much what my post will look like on the site - Complete with CSS styles etc applied.

Windows_Live_Writer_Beta

Seems pretty funky and so far is much nicer to use than the WordPress built-in editor.

Want to sound like you work at CTU?

Gordon's just sent me the URL of quite probably the best ringtone site I've visited (probably because I dont recall ever visiting a ringtone site)

Are you sad enough to want to reproduce that distinctive CTU ringtone from the TV series '24' on your mobile phone?

Well, I am. So I worked out the RTTTL code needed to get it on my little Nokia 8210.

But that was just the start of the story. Ever since I posted the code here back in 2003, along with the reference samples I used in order to work it out, a lot of equally sad people have sent me versions of the ringtone in different formats.

So here they are, for all your hey-look-at-me-I'm-Jack-Bauer needs

I should probably get out more...
