Battle for Wesnoth


My new favourite game is Battle for Wesnoth, which I discovered thanks to TheOpenCD. It's the best open source game I've come across and is highly addictive with great gameplay, graphics etc.

Ye Olde Fighting Cocks

My new favourite band is "Ye Olde Fighting Cocks", a band entered into a rock school competition.
Their version of Seven Nation Army is fantastic.
"Blimey, behold Oscar Scizier (13). Oz is something of an enigma, he works by himself and has only been playing guitar for a year but has already named his debut album 'Ye Oldier Than Jesus Himself'. He comes from Mill Hill School in North London and has chosen The White Stripes' 'Seven Nation Army'. Truly, truly remarkable."

The curse of "Click here"

It's time to have a rant about one of my pet peeves - The curse of "Click here". This is the web coding issue where instead of using some meaningful content as the link text, the coder uses "click here".
e.g.

To download a picture of yaks dancing, click here

rather than...

Download a picture of yaks dancing


The problem with having a pet peeve like this one is that it is everywhere! So, people, stop it now.
