My life is yours, Lord. Do with it as you will. Guide me and comfort me and lead me away from sin. For yours is the right way, Lord. Yours is the constant, guiding star. Your hands takes mine through good times & bad and you are always there, with me. Show me where you want me to be, what work you want me to do, what you want me to learn, Lord. Shape me into the person I'm meant to be. Do

A little Christmas-inspired song lyric Verse 1 Crackers and presents and baubles and bells. Singers of carols with stories to tell of the Saviour's birth of His blessings on the Earth. Chorus You, our Saviour. You, our hero. I will go wherever you go; Where the mighty river flows. You, our master, You, our best friend. I will take your hand and follow Where the mighty river flows.

I suffer from cyclothemia, which is on the bipolar spectrum. It's up the rapid-rapid-cycling end. I'm blogging this so I don't forget! Here's a selection of support forums and sites. Mostly, they cover not only support of those affected, but also for families, loved ones and friends. I suggest starting here: http://www.bipolaruk.org.uk This is the National UK charity.

Note to self: When trying to flash a new ROM to the HTC Artemis (O2 XDA Orbit, P3300), take the damn SD card out before you try otherwise you get the WSOD (white screen of death) when it restarts and not the bootloader!

You can also listen online later on BBC iPlayer. TV broadcasts are interspersed with the live dates in chronological order. Proms with TV broadcasts are marked with a *.

I switched from CS5 to CS6 and was promptly depressed by the default dark colour scheme of CS6. I thought I was stuck with it, but then I found the setting! From the top menu, do Edit->Preferences->Interface and then change the 'Color Theme' at the top of the window. Only a quick blog post, but I can't imagine I'm the only one who isn't feeling dark today!

I'm currently preparing print jobs for saxoprint.co.uk. Part of their service is offering templates to use when creating artwork. So, I want the print job to reflect what's on the screen.

I wanted to play a notification sound when something had completed, just for fun. I didn't want to show anything onscreen that said it was playing a sound, I just wanted it to play in the background.

Just a quick note. Finally found out what was causing the immense slow-down in Eclipse when editing large files. What was happening was every time I opened an angled bracket, keyboard repeat onto the screen lagged. i.e., you'd press a key and then have to wait a second or two for the character to appear. What you need to do to fix this is to get rid of any View in your Perspective that you are

My occasional foray into reviewing film scores/soundtracks continues anew with James Horner's score to the new Spiderman movie. First impressions  As all film score fans will know, James Horner plagiarises himself. This is sometimes no bad thing as he has created a lot of fantastic scores in the past, and sometimes it's a bad thing where he lifts entire sections from one

I thought I'd start a new series of blog posts with some the 'make it up as you go along' recipes I cook for my family! So, here we go. We'll call this Tangy Gammon with Red Wine. Cos that's what it was. *ahem* No picture of the food, I'm afraid as we just ate it. But, suffice to say it looks like what it sounds like. It tastes... well, tangy.

This is just a project announcement. As part of my Glacier CMS, I will be creating a website template layout editor using jQuery for the front end and ColdFusion on the back end to save the layout in an XML format. This XML format will then be read by the CMS to generate the edit-page interface with multiple wysiwygs. My hope is that it will be generic enough for others to use. Now... to

This might be a little out of date, but just in case... I love the Eclipse IDE, I really do, but sometimes you just want it to do something really simple... and just can't figure out how! This is for all of you lovely people using Mark Drew's CFEclipse. There are some file extensions (like, for instance .project and other files) that you really do not want to see in your Navigator.

Just a little note to myself. Should you ever need to change the 'next id' in a table with a primary key that auto-increments, use the sequel below: ALTER TABLE tablename AUTO_INCREMENT = 200000; This will mean that the next time a row is added to 'tablename', it's auto-increment id will be '200000'
