I was reading about the stolen Van Gogh painting yesterday on BBC News website and some other sites and noticed inaccuracies in some articles.

Yes, School IT Lessons Were Dull
Submitted by James on Fri, 08/06/2010 - 21:48The BBC reported yesterday on the Royal Society's forthcoming report of IT education in UK schools which comes to the conclusion that IT lessons are dull. This dullness is putting children off of computing careers.
Experimental cooking, work plan and things I didn't know.
Submitted by James on Sun, 08/01/2010 - 00:34I wasn't sure what to have for dinner earlier. I had some chicken to cook, some left-over Sharwood's tikka masala sauce and some mushrooms. I decided to experiment and try making those ingredients into a burger. A chicken & mushroom tikka masala burger. It was yummy.

Baking Brownies & Conference Paper
Submitted by James on Sun, 07/25/2010 - 23:11Today I baked some brownies; I cheated slightly by using a pre-made brownie mix. Betty Crocker's Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix only needs to be mixed with 45ml of water and baked for 25 minutes in the included cardboard tray. Simple. I divided it into 6 small brownies and they're yummy. It cost £1.12 in Sainsbury's.

Submitted by James on Thu, 07/15/2010 - 00:45Since I first installed Drupal I've had issues with the menu system and breadcrumb trails. Out of the box they don't do what I'd expect them to do.
For those who don't know what a breadcrumb trail is: look above this post - it's the links that show you the path from the home page to the current page (it should say "Home > Blog > Wrestling with Drupal Breadcrumbs"). They allow you to move back to the parent pages of the current page easily.
Pictures, site problems, reading
Submitted by James on Mon, 07/12/2010 - 00:00I couldn't access my website this morning and I was planning to add more content and forward pages from my old site (using 301 permanent redirects). It turned out that t35 hosting's MySQL was down - meaning that everyone's websites, including t35.com, were unable to access MySQL databases.
My First Blog Post
Submitted by James on Sat, 07/10/2010 - 22:38This is my first blog post on my new blog, which is part of my new website. I'm migrating my old site (whoyouknow.co.uk) to this site as the domain makes more sense for personal stuff about me.
