iPhone 
My topscore, sideways
I’ve been playing flight control on the iphone for a few months (about 2) now, I’m not as committed as I once was but I’m still proud of my 126 landed! I’ve found the latest update that allows you to share your score around the world has also increased the difficulty of the game, planes seem much fast and i’m rarely seen with a score over 100…. I’ve submitted my score and i thought i was doing well until i realised there are people around the world with a score of 14000+. I find it hard to believe that people are getting scores this high and i’m wondering if there could be cheating going on…. or maybe i should face facts i’m just no good at it… or i dont have as much time as a 13 year old boy in Nebraska!

I shall have to investigate possible cheating 
and look forward to more updates.

Stewie Griffin - have you seen him?
A while back I bought findstewie.com to find my missing Stewie Griffin desktop figure. Someone at work stole him and was sending me kidnapped photo’s of him in various locations. My response was to launch this website as a campaign to hunt down the kidnappers and return stewie to his rightful place. I never actually updated the site from its launch but i think i might bring it upto date and try and get people to submit their photos/sightings….
www.findstewie.com - campaign starts here!
Site update coming soon!
FYI – Stewie Griffin is a character out of Family Guy!

Dodgy passport
Just trying to sort my passport out for my impending summer holiday… Cutting it fine as usual! Had a fight with the passport photo machine and it gave me the worst set of pictures. If you see this man run for your life… Failing that fan mail can be posted here

Web Development 
About 2 years ago I started a random group on facebook called ‘I hate IE6′ because of my frustration with IE6 at the time. I was surprised to see today that the membership of the group has been growing and I didn’t even notice! Current 654 members strong! The more the better, think of it as a stress relief exercise!

or search I hate IE6 on facebook.
Interestingly a post on twitter lead me to this website, the main aim being to eradicate IE by fooling users on IE6 to update their browsers via a update bar in the browser…. probably unethical and I won’t be using it but thought I’d post the link anyway for those interested. http://ie6update.com/

istockphoto.com broken this morning
Just thought I’d make a note of istockphoto.com going down, appears to have been at least all morning. Wonder how much money they’ve lost. Also hampering me finishing a website for Brentwood Children’s Charity that I’m hoping to launch soon… details on that to follow…

General This is my first post, been waiting for this domain to become available for a while and I’ve decided to write a blog, mainly due to my recent facination with twitter. I’m aiming to use this blog to discuss problems I face in web development and the solutions/references I find along the way to overcome these problems. Hopefully building up to a repository of reference for me, selfish I know but thats how it’s gonna be! No idea how often this will get updated so we’ll have to wait and see.
