Bookmark on del.icio.us – added to ‘Meta’

Something new in the sidebar. The link is generated with a WordPress plugin by Arne Brachhold.

Click it to add my blog to your del.icio.us bookmarks. I’ll be amazed if anyone would ever want/need to do this, given the content of my blog, but I think that del.icio.us is quite cool as an idea, so I though I’d add this feature.

UPDATE 18/02/06: I see a lot of traffic is coming to this entry, which may be disappointing for people as I’ve removed the del.icio.us bookmarking plugin from the site. About 6 months ago I cut the design of the site right back to the bare-bones, and I felt this feature wasn’t necessary or particularly useful, so out it went.

Back at the beach

It was a much sunnier day today than yesterday, so I went back to the beach at Holme Next the Sea for another go at sunbathing.

Although I used sunblock, I obviously didn’t use enough, or didn’t use a strong enough factor, and I’m now pink all over and burnt in parts. I’ve got particularly bad areas behind my knees which makes standing up and sitting down painful. It’s also making me feel a bit sickly in general, but I hope that goes before tomorrow as I’m meeting up with an old school friend from New Malden and visiting my parents.

Apparently, in our part of the country, the weather should get wetter and cooler from tomorrow.

At the beach

Tide coming in

Tide coming in. Originally uploaded by escdotdot.

Spent a while at a beach near Holme Next the Sea, on the West Norfolk coast.

Although it seemed to be very hot and sunny on the drive there, once I was on the beach it was actually quite chilly, with cloudy skies obscuring the sun. Apparently tomorrow will be better. I’m debating with myself whether to go back – I’m determined to get some tanning done. How vain am I?

The beach was deserted apart from one or two people, which allowed me to get some good shots of the unpopulated landscapes. On the other hand, I like the one of the kite flyers with their bright green kite in the fairly drab landscape.

to do list

Where are all the images?

After all it’s “words and pictures from escdotdot.” To do this I need to adapt the template to create space for them, rather than have them as standard blog entries. And I need to figure out the technical side of things – I’m looking at a some WordPress plugins to facilitate this.

IE

I need to work on fixing the display issues with IE.
