I’ve been using Tidy Start Menu for a couple of years – and as the Windows XP program list started to get long again, I went back to it to try to get rid of some clutter. In combination with the judicious use of the excellent Revo Uninstaller,  and it becomes a lot easier to [...]

  • Quote Rotator Plugin Comparison

    I wanted to install a quote rotator on the site I'm building for my friend, the military historian Alan Cate. So, below, in this sidebar, you'll (eventually) see all of these in action. I think we're up to five, and they're displayed in this order - but I plan to separate them so it's clear which is which (astute readers will realize that there is some overlap in the plugin/widget titles). These plugins are all excellent and usable - and I'm sorry if my limited skills haven't shown them off as well as they could be.

It's not clear, though, whether Mr. Jackson intends us to wear trousers on our heads in addition to, or instead of, the traditional on-the-legs arrangement.

  • Srini G’s Quotes

    The average life is full of near misses and absolute hits. Of great love and small disasters. It’s made up of banana milkshakes, loft insulation and random shoes. It’s dead ordinary and truly, truly amazing. What you’ve got to realize is, it’s all here, now. So breathe deep and swallow it whole. Because take it from me: life just whizzes by, and then, all of a sudden, it’s— — Jacquetta May, Torchwood – Wikiquotes from episode 1.9, “Random Shoes”
