For your viewing amusement

The Internet is full of bonkers people, as my last post shows. To provide some light entertainment in these serious and depressing times, I present to you the Insane in the Membrane blog.

The Internet… a place where anyone can post their opinions, no matter how ill informed or downright crazy they may be. Is the world going to end today, tomorrow or next week? Are aliens from other dimensions going to materialise and make out with your sister? Who knows… well the people mentioned here think they do. Read on :)

Think of it as a showcase for all the weird and downright crazy websites and YouTube videos that exist. It’s a bit like those late night telly programs that show people doing odd things, only without the canned laughter.

Should you find a website deserving of a mention, please tell me and I will have a look. Right now LHC related things are fair game, as are the Scientology lot, but if you know of any other crazed loons that need a bit of free public ridicule, add a comment.

If you are a crazed loon, feel free to also comment.

Please direct all humour failures to the nearest wall since any angry or abusive emails sent to me will be posted as a matter of course. :)

Webby Site Update

It’s not quite finished, but I present my updated website. Rather than seeing my blog on the front page, it’s been moved back behind the main site. I’ll be using my main site to write about my hardware and software projects and other technology related things. This blog will become my place to write about everything else, along with some cross-posting of new things on my main site.

This blog will continue to be cross-posted to LiveJournal, but the main site won’t; there’s no Drupal plugin to do that, and it’d clog my LJ up.

So if you like tech, soldering irons, code and watching someone with no formal training in electronics taking stuff apart you can do worse than visit my main website.

Eventually, when I’ve taken the photos, there will be a section for my increasingly large Retro Computing Collection. I have a lot of retro games consoles and computers, so many that I can’t actually remember what I own so a catalogue is next on my list of things to make.

Attention LiveJournal Readers!

I have modified my WordPress settings so you can now comment on my posts without having to visit my blog. You can remain safely in LJ and just comment like usual.

This will mean I have comments separate to my WordPress blog, but I like the idea of reading the comments and writing a new post on any interesting discussions that could happen.

This is also a test post to check I’ve done it correctly ;)

And thanks to for discovering the LJ User Ex plugin. Of course, it helps if you type the tag using ‘Code’ mode of the editor!

Oh bugger

I keep forgetting to add new content to this! Go back a month to read some of the old stuff I’ve had sat on my PC for a month.

Since my handy email->diary system is nolonger working I have to actually use my web-based interface to put content in here. This is less convenient so I’ll probably write a load of stuff for a week or four and then put it all in.
