; Hello World
Welcome to the future!
In the future, your kitchen will be able to automatically order food when you're running low, by simply cataloging the contents of your food cupboard, fridge and freezer, and keeping track of what you eat.
We join our demonstrator, Dave, as he cooks himself a snack.
Dave : I'm taking two fish fingers out of the freezer. Make a note.
Kitchen : Please place ... Three... Fish fingers... Onto the grill pan.
Dave : No, TWO. Tee, Doubleyew, Oh..
Kitchen : Please place .... Three ... Tea cups... Onto kitchen worktop.
Dave : *sigh*
Dave puts three fish fingers in the grill.
Dave : There.. Happy now?
Kitchen : Unexpected quantity of ... Fish Fingers.. Expected 180 grams. Total weight 179 grams. Please try again.
Dave lifts and reseats the fish fingers.
Kitchen : Unexpected quantity of ... Fish Fingers.. Expected 180 grams. Total weight 182 grams. Please try again.
Dave : God damnit.
Kitchen : Please place .... Three ... Tea cups... Onto kitchen worktop.
Kitchen : Warning : Kettle is not yet boiled.
Kitchen : Unexpected quantity of ... Fish Fingers.. Expected 180 grams. Total weight 181 grams. Please try again.
Dave : GAAAAH!!!

; CSS
Spinal's pulling his hair out, trying to get CSS positioning to make sense, and have all the elements neatly arrange themselves in a table-like way, but using only CSS. I know the feeling!
... But I also cheat with tables, so I'm staying out of this one!!

; Wordpress
Having spent most of a week fiddling tweaking and buggering around with a server, my Webdev mind is completely fried.
Late Wednesday night, the idea of tweaking Wordpress's 404 page to link to my archive seemed like a good idea. It "almost" worked, but not quite.
See if you can guide me to fix it properly.

Me?
Falling in love with a football game?
Enough to mention it in the newsletter?
It's been a long time since a game has brought me to tears of laughter.

; Spam
Remember, folks. If it's in your email, and it's not crap from Facebook, or junk from Twitter, or garbage from GooglePlus, or leftovers from LinkedIN, then it's probably just some spam that gmail didn't quite filter out, correctly.

; Chaos
DNA posts some code that wouldn't look out of place on an Amstrad CPC, then expects us to fix it for him.
I grew up with code like this, and god knows I love my Amstrad.. But ... DAMN, no!!
