I had the extreme privilege of seeing Chris Chameleon perform last night at the new Tings an Times in Hatfield.
A great experience. Excellent food, cold beer, fantastic music.
Chris Chameleon is an entertainer like no other.
He is a truly talented person and his willingness to share his gift is a privilege to us all.
I’ll have some photo’s on flickr soon enough.

The Virgin Money website is not as Firefox friendly as they claim.
When trying to apply for their credit card, I found their validations for your personal details are really badly broken.
See the screenshot:
Their site requirements states:
We support any browser with SSL 2.0; SSL 3.0 and a 128 bit cipher, but our site is best viewed by using Internet Explorer 6.0 SP 1, or Netscape 7.2 or Firefox 1.5. You can confirm your browser version by selecting the Help drop-down menu and then clicking on the About option.
I am using Firefox, so what is the problem Sir Branson?
You launch a product with all the flash and fanfare and media but *the site doesn’t work!!!*
I hope their banking software developers can build better applications than their web development team, because right now if I had a Virgin Money card, I wouldn’t feel so secure.

Visited the 5FM website today, not sure why. I think I was looking for gig information for 52weeks.
Anyway, it turns out they’ve revamped their site.
Such a pity that with the wasted right hand side it’s only half a site…
Then again, 5FM is really only half a radio station nowadays anyway.
So I was duly informed that my captcha to prevent comment spam was not working.
It’s fixed now.
Give it a bash – leave a comment.
