Neighbours and Border Disputes

Reading this story in the Guardian just amazes me. Basically, a man shoots his neighbour after a two-year dispute over a hedge, for fuck’s sake. How petty can we get?

More importantly, can you think of a pettier reason to kill someone? Because of a frigging garden hedge. I despair.

Redesign in action

Over the next month or two, there are going to be some changes to d4d. I’m working on a semi-minor redesign (well, it’s coming up for d4d’s first birthday, so I might as well give it a present) taking the entire thing to a CSS design. Which is fun, in a geeky way. In fact, it’s also a complete nightmare – stripping out all the tables, maintaining the basics of the “design”, and all that gubbins.

The next bit will be moving from Easyspace to 34sp (which’ll hopefully stop Pat nagging me advertising their service in my comments boxes too *Grin*) – then I can re-do a couple of bits with PHP, and sort out things like comments systems, and possibly moving to Moveable Type. It’s going to be busy.

Gym

Not quite as depressing as it could’ve been – blood pressure of 130 over 85, respectable heart-rate (the instructor didn’t tell me exactly), and – depressingly – a BMI of 34. Still, that’ll soon be on the way down.

So, we’ve sorted out the exercise routine, trying out some of the machines, getting some proper training, My leg muscles in particular are slightly sore, but that’ll disppear before long.
