Continuity Announcement

The more observant among you may have noticed a brief loss of service there – nelefa.org has just been moved from Donhost back to the inimitable Yoyo Collective Consciousness. But it’s all over now and normal service has resumed.

BBC NEWS | Business | Patent row could hit MP3 industry

This is so far beyond irony that it’s actually painful. To think that the biggest advocates of immoral software patenting are being stung by their own greed is a much needed indication that there is some justice in the world after all 🙂 Perhaps Microsoft should have spent more time keeping its own house in

The Mythical Martin-Minute – an experiment

I am writing this post as an experiment. I am endeavoring to observe and measure the Martin-Minute. The Martin-Minute is the period of time which elapses between me making a post and RedSmartie posting a comment. Get Ready… Get Set… G-G-G-G-Goooooooooo!

On Oobits.

An Oobit, for those who may not be aware of the existence of such things, is quite literally two halves of a dug. Not neccesarily two halves of the same dug – any auld dug will do. And it’s not a dog, it’s a dug. The Oobit in question is half of a wee black

ZOMG! A non-gaming post!

Who knew?

Any intermittent issues you may come across in the next 12 hours or so are probably down to me tinkering

A Brief Interruption of Service

Nelefa.org will drop off the net for a while on Monday evening – both the website and email will be unavailable. Poor old jem, the box we host on, is undergoing some disk surgery by the highly trained secret ninja administrators of the Yoyo collective consciousness. But it’ll all be fine by tomorrow. Which is

Eek!

Nelefa.org just dropped off the net for an hour or two! I think there were strange technical wierdnesses at Yoyo Towers. I’m sure all will be revealed in time.

A new way to update

I’m posting this entry using Deepest Sender, an add-on for firefox which gives a nice little mini-blog-posting thingy. It’s really very nice. The only thing I’ve found that it doesn’t allow me to do via the gui is to change a link property to open in a new window, but I can do that via
