Clean Up, Clean Out And Slants On The Side

Relates to CSS Design and Peregrinations

Unfortunately I had to say goodbye to a few childhood memories today. My home has suffered a bit from damp the last few winters and I got a real shock when I opened my video/games cabinet last night to discover an entire culture had evolved, that even Mr Bellamy would have been proud of! So the day has been spent restoring my living area to a more habitable balance, paying the bus fare for my herd of woodlice to go and live elsewhere, and disposing of some now unrecognisable classic board games - Risk, Stratego and Dungeon Quest to name a few. Still I did rediscover a few old CDs slipped down the side of the cabinet, including Northern Exposure, which is now bringing back a few memories of those heady clubbing days in the hot Leeds sun of 1997.

Back to the engine now, and been toying around with Python and the transaction capabilities of the InnoDB on MySQL server. Oh and after reading this fun article on using CSS borders to create slants, here is a little herald I created last night (just for amusement). Mozilla and Firebird only for this one.
