I just got shown this the hard way - made a mess of my tables, and just had to rebuild my Wordpress categories table by hand. It could have been so much worse though!! I will definitely be making regular backups in future.
The other thing is name change to the site. It’s temporary, I promise - just an experiment to see how high I can climb on Google. I’ll take it off next week.

Great example of a niche blog: one dedicated to recording sightings of lowercase Ls, when all other letters are written in caps. Now that I think about it, why do people do that?

Why does this news that Canonical and Linspire are “teaming up” for future Linux distribution, put me so much in mind of this Penny Arcade strip?

I know I’m hardly their target market, but Walmart’s attitude to Firefox and other, non-IE browsers is completely unacceptable.

No cooking-related posts for some time, as I’ve been working on a separate project (which isn’t ready yet, taking longer than I thought), stay tuned though.
I’ve been making a lot of stir-fries recently, and wanted to try Duck. I bought duck legs, but found that I had too much meat left on the bone, so I tried making some stock, and added the skin from a clementine (which I’d peeled to put in the stir-fry anyway), and a handful of dried fruit. Put the bones, the skin and fruit in boiling water and reduce for ~10-20 minutes (or however long it takes to reduce), and you should have an extremely flavoursome stock. It occurred to me afterwards that I could have mashed the clementine skin and dried fruit up with a fork, to extract more flavour. I’m also wondering whether I might’ve added Soy sauce, or even red wine. Time to buy more duck then…
