It is important to know that what follows is NOT a recipe for chocolate fudge icing:
- 50g/2oz margarine
- 25g/1oz cocoa, sifted
- about 2 tbsp milk
- 225g/8oz icing sugar, sifted
To make the icing, melt the margarine in a small pan, add the cocoa and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the milk and icing sugar. Beat well until smooth. Cool a little until of spreading consistency.
[Edit: PLEASE NOTE, the following comments were made after our 1st attempt. All subsequent attempts have been 100% successful and 100% tasty!!!]
[If prepared incorrectly… *cough*] It is more akin to chocolate sauce, but is definately not, as advertised, chocolate fudge icing. Mary Berry you lied to me and I am distraught. Must I take a recipe from the Americans ? Please, an alternative is needed for we want thick, goopy, fudge-like icing. Not this runny chocolate sauce concoction we appear to have ended up with. Perhaps we prepared it wrong, or need some expert guidance…
The cake’s nice though, regardless.

Sound like the blues? Yes. That’s my poor explaination for the lack of updates. Feeling blue, poor and stressed.
Normal service to resume soon, those of you who know me will know what I mean when I say I’m putting an edge on that sword ready for the bailiffs 😉

Get it while it’s hot!
This thread details the incredibly quick fix for the firefox/IE security hole. I doubt this will be the last, but it’s encouraging just how fast the remedy came out.

Just thought I’d do some cross-site pimping, and add a link to a chum from #eve-online to the links list. Go, now, check out Rinnyweeeeeee!
I keep resolving to add more photos. I keep failing. Cheer me up and send me some money perhaps? 😉

This amused me, so I made it today’s quick update: The Infinite Cat Project
It’s damn cool if you ask me, but then I like cats.

Look.
I know there are some of you out there who insist on using Internet Explorer. My stats tell me this.
Some of you may not realise there is life beyond IE, some of you may simply not have known there were alternatives.
GO HERE and install Firefox. Yes, it’s a different internet browser! *Shock*.
Still don’t believe me? Have a look at this article and think again. Yes that’s right, now even respected US Government security type people are actually telling people to switch away from IE, their reasoning is that it’s simply so vulnerable to exploitation that it’s crippling things left right and centre (Though many of the people who’ve already moved will simply tell you it’s because it’s crap.)
Do the right thing. Set fire to a fox today.

I’ve totally failled to keep the pictures regularly updated. I’m so hopeless.
My stats showed 1,800 unique hits today, which I thought odd. I’m going to install AWStats at some point this week to find out what’s going on, as I really can’t believe that many people would be passing through here. Something must be up with BBClone.
As for the photo updates… Apologies
I’m going to try, really I am, but for some reason things keep distracting me from posting, it’s not like it’s a hard job to post one either. Gah, so damn hopeless.

Some input from a friend of mine (Thanks Rob) got me to this page on Realitime HDRI.
For those of you not in the know, HDRI stands for High Dynamic Range Imaging, and a much more verbose explaination that I can give you can be found here
