And That Was Wales

By /
And there we go folks, the Round Wales With A Mother trip is done and dusted.

I hope you've enjoyed the last month's photos and it's given you a desire to visit the beautiful country of Wales.

Tomorrow normal daily photo sharing will resume which means it's anyone's guess what you'll get.

It started with us, and ends with us.

The Difference Between One Million And One Billion

Image
It's feels like a billion is just a bit bigger than a million. Obviously it's bigger but it fits on the same scale as a million, surely. It doesn't. A billion is so so so much bigger than a million. I've trawled the internet finding graphics and videos that show the VAST difference between one million and one billion. Oh, and just to finish with a different misconception about space starting with the classic opening line from the great Douglas Adams and The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy : “Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

Make Your Public Event Calendar Usable To All

If you run a sports club, this post is for you. If you are on a community committee, this post is also for you. If you host events, this is for you. If you put on shows, this is for you. In fact, if you do anything that has a date/time component that you'd like to share with people, this is for you . Yep, probably for all of us. Sharing calendars can be both: an effective way of letting everyone know a complete and utter technical pain in the bottomly region If you've posted up an events page onto your website you know how difficult it is to keep up to date, how the readers have to keep coming back to get the latest changes and don't even think about integrating with somebody else's "events page". Ok, so we all know the problem. What's the solution? iCalendar (normally shortened to iCal) ... yep, it's a geek word that you will come to know and love just as much as RSS. In fact, think of it as RSS for calendars. But that's enough geekery, if you wan

Best Online Recipe Site

In the olden days we had a collection of cook books, scraps of handwritten recipes stuffed in, and a handful ripped out pages from magazines. These days it's electronic. We have a collection of cooking websites, scraps of typed in notes stuffed between to do lists, YouTube videos bookmarked, and a handful of screenshots from Facebook. We never got better we just spaffed it all over the Internet. Then along came Cooked . Cooked is a new(ish) site that takes any recipe off any website, handwritten notes, even YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok cookery videos and turns them into actual recipes saved under your free account. How's this for ease, find a recipe in your browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) - if you want, give this one a go, copy the following and paste it into your browser. https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/chickenchowmein_89258 You've got your recipe page up, looks good eh, right let's pop it into Cooked. Edit the web address you pasted into the address bar. Go to t

Congratulations To The Online Rugby Community

It was a while ago that I handed over the reigns of the two international rugby calendars to those that wanted to continue them. I recently popped over to the Rugby Calendars page on this site and wowsers, both are chocker full of international rugby entries and it was an absolute delight. I am loving how the rugby fan community has stepped up, taken the calendars to heart, and kept them going (even better than before). It also struck me that all this awesome hard work probably needs to be shared a LOT more and not just on this website. How To Add The Rugby Calendars To Your Own Website Adding any calendar to your own website is easy, and here are the instructions for both the Men's and Women's rugby calendars. Men's calendar Open your website editor Create a new page OR take a copy (you never know, it could go all horribly wrong) Make sure you can add HTML (for some it's a widget you'll need to use) Copy the following: <iframe src="https://calendar.googl

W. C. Fields quotes

The office has all been moved around - new desks (with starter handles to raise and lower them), new high(er) speed network and ... the same old work. At least I have a differing view of the world, my team (well, the team I'm a part of not "my" team) is a lot closer - finally - and it's like an office from the 80's ... or even a classroom. But I still have time to move the crap off the PC : ------ Any man who hates dogs and loves whiskey can't be all bad. Anyone who hates Dogs and Kids Can't be All Bad. Hey! Who took the cork off my lunch??! Who stole the cork from my breakfast? Now don't say you can't swear off drinking, it's easy. I've done it a thousand times. Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people. If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. Then quit, no use being a damn fool about things. Madam, there's no such thing as a tough child - if you parboil them first for seven hours, they alwa
