Even ye land-lubbers are runnin’ away from Aye Eii in droves! In the last three days, over one milllion scury dogs turned to the fiery ways of Firefox, the pirates browser of choice 1! If ye haven’t done so, ye best be headin’ off to grab it smartly like!
1. Excellent tool though I’m sure Firefox is for various piratical activities, neither meself nor the Mozilla team would be seen to encourage the bilge rats of the internet in their befouling ways!
Yarrrrrrrr!

In the last 48 hours (or thereabouts), I’ve hit the number 1 spot on Google for a handful of terms. These are the ones I’m aware of:
and probably a handful of others. Go team ego! I mean… SEO… yes. *shuts up*
Next up, I need to do something about “Joah”, for which I’m not even on the map, and then the ambitions for real World Domination may take over, as I work towards becoming the number one Josh and Joshua in the world! Muwahahahaha!

…millions of people worldwide put up with it…

So incredibly true. That wasn’t even completely out of context, either…

A friend needed a copy of an order form yesterday, so I scanned it all in, and couldn’t be bothered to PDF it. Actually, that’s not quite true. I had an itching to play with some code, so it was scratched in a way that PDF’ing wouldn’t have managed. ;-)
It’s basically just five scanned pages presented in a horizontal aspect, allowing you to scroll page-to-page as would occur on real paper, yet, by the use of the print styles I’d setup, it allows the page to be printed in a normal manner (i.e. images aren’t getting cut in half because they go off horizontally!). I’ve done a spot of work with Print stylesheets before, but this is the first exciting and relevant application I’ve had for it. There’s also a moderately workable print media stylesheet on this blog, if anyone felt so inclined.
I can’t recall if that was something which shipped with WordPress, or whether I customised it based off another website… I recall tinkering with it, but that’s about all.
If you’ve got a spare moment, click over to here and “Print Preview”. Unless you’re running Netscape 4 or something equally stupid, it should work okay… comment and let me know how it is.

I’m getting to hate Saturdays. The real estate dude is about to come over, and I’m going to be kicked out of the house so that random people can take a gander. For some reason, they didn’t like the idea of selling the house for Planet Banana – I have no idea why not!
The real estate guy cited problems with a commission on the sale of a planet, or something. I don’t know, other people seem to be able to do it just fine…
