JSON and Jack

Work: Trying to get my head around JSON, and Object Oriented Javascript. Having never written a single line of OO code in any language, I’m finding the subject just a bit impenetrable at the moment. Though, on re-reading that article by Dustin just now for the third or fourth time, I started to feel a [...]

Get Well, Hamster

Thoughts and hopes go out to Richard Hammond of Top Gear. A great TV presenter and seemingly genuine nice bloke with a love of dangerous machines. Get your short arse well and back behind the wheel, Richard. That’ll show them.
On that subject, could there be a little less hand-wringing and blamestorming, please? Richard and his [...]

The chairs is the most common downfall. People seem unable (or unwilling) to grasp the two basic principles: i) if I [...]

For those of you just joining us…

I’m Clive. This is my personal site. Thanks to the phenomenon of wordrot, it is quite out of date.
I play guitar a lot. I play for Little Monkeys and also Claytown Troupe, and I even have a solo album. You can listen to some of the stuff I’ve written.
I have a large cat called Trevor.
I [...]

Geek Anthem

Geeks, friends, coders, unite. We have ourselves an anthem.
I give you the sublime Code Monkey, by Jonathan Coulton.
Best geek song ever. No, really. Lyrics here.

(I’ve done my time as a code monkey - I can relate. ;-))
