This will be a short and snappy post.

I’ve never played it but Area 51 has been released for Free I always like free stuff I do.

Is it just me or has RTE gotten with the times ?

They’ve a new show called Raw (recommended to VA) and its online good grief. Maybe I just don’t follow enough TV but I find this quite cool that they are doing it.

(I’m not sure if its working perfectly however .. seems to cut out / stall every so often … still free is free)

Well late last night I heard about the 10.5.5 update of OSX and decided what the hell I’ll go and update.

It all went smoothly enough I thought. Today / this morning I noticed MAMP had stopped working. I went oh bugger made a post or two about it and checked the MAMP site noticing that I was at 1.7.1 and the latest is at 1.7.2 so I went to update.

Downloaded … the image loads and I see the nice little interface for copying the MAMP folder over into my Apps folder. Now I assumed I was gonna lose a small few configs in my httpd.conf file .. nothing I couldn’t just rewrite in a minute or two. So I went ahead and copied in it.

Now to my complete horror … it has overwritten everything including the folders and as such removed the original content. This day has just gotten very bad as I’ve lost a few databases I had not backed up. I’ve all the htdocs files backed up … just not the cgi-bin or the mysql folder.

*sighs* Every few months one does something really really stupid. This was my stupid action hopefully for another while at least.

I just had a power nap with the cat for 10 minutes and I must admit I’ve woken up feeling a lot better. Its not the end of the world. Its just the start of a REALLY stressful week I’m afraid to say.

If I’d bothered to read the readme file I would of course have seen the big red notice in it … oh bother said pooh … christopher robin is not going to like this one bit.

Done anything stupid recently ? Care to share and make me feel better ?

My god I know I’m bad when it comes to spelling and english but I wish to god people would describe what they want.

In the past few days I’ve had people ask me various things

Design X for me.

Currently its how much to design a template.

What are your requirements for said template. What you are showing me has actually got multiple different style templates in it. Do you want them all. “I don’t know” …

“Design this for me” .. can you please provide me with more details. “what ever you think”

Any particular colours ? thoughts ? other things you like the look of ?Any details at all ? What does it mean / stand for ?

ARGH!!! ok rant over I’m just on my second coffee so I’m a bit ARGH

( yes I’m aware I probably haven’t described my problem properly )

I actually played with Chrome last night for about 4 minutes and thought … this is nice …

I took a look at this this morning (it was linked to on Tech Crunch)

There are some pretty interesting features gone in there … I like the separation of pages … the ability to create standalone “application” windows … not to mention the sandboxing of the browser to restrict its interaction with the underlying OS.

Other nice features ..

• Privacy Mode … meaning people can’t track your browsing history
• Separation of tabs / plugins into their own processes which can “die” independantly and not take down your browser

It does seem fast as hell as well I was running it in a VM this morning on my Mac ..

What do others thing of it ?
