A few weeks ago I happened across a delicacy that had previously evaded me from my usual Indian restaurant visits. The more I read about it the more I found myself wanting to try it, you know how it is.
Normally only for those in the know, the Nargis kebab is typically ordered off the menu, with the waiter checking with the chef that “it can be done”. Read More…
Great you think, this is your chance to vote for your local chippy as a way of saying “thanks” for all those steak Pukka pies, pickled eggs and chips with scraps.
Peterborough’s Evening Telegraph is running their annual Chippy of the Year award but only shortlisted a handful of chipshops. What happened to my local, Fletton Fish and Chips!?
Thankfully Fryz in Bretton was also included as whilst they’re not within walking distance any more, they’re still worth stopping by if you’re in the area.
An update to the roadworks saga currently blighting Peterborough’s road networks – there is now an online petition registered at 10 Downing Street.
Whilst it’s unlikely this will have any impact what so ever, it highlights how strongly people feel against this mess Peterborough Council has left us in.
The council should thank themselves lucky though as arsonists struck only last night, setting fire to the roadworks on Oundle Road. Quite a sad state of affairs when people turn to destruction of property to get their frustration across. I don’t think it will be long before we see copycat attacks or even attacks on other motorists!
Sign the petition at http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/PboroRoadWorks/sign and lets sort something out.

With cities like Manchester, Birmingham and of course, London all vying for my trade choosing one to spend my valuable vacation time isn’t going to be easy. Read More…

I’ve only been listening to the SEO 101 podcasts for a few weeks now after following a link on David Naylor’s blog.
It’s quite addictive and I soon found myself having bit of podcast marathon, going through nearly the whole back catalogue in a day or so. There’s nothing like sitting down to work with your headphones on, listening through iTunes, only to realise that right now you’re making the very mistakes they’re talking about avoiding… oops!
The SEO 101 team comprises of a few regulars with guests on various podcast episodes, experts in their respective fields.
Definitely worth a listen if you’re into any aspect of teh internets.
Smashing Magazine suggest the use of a CSS Framework when developing a new project and it makes a lot of sense.
Rather than start from scratch each time you make a website, or use an existing site as a springboard into the code, why not take some time to create a set of basic but stable CSS rules that you can then bring together to make your latest project a work of genius?
The advantages are significant:
Jonathan Christopher’s blog discusses the reasons why you SHOULDN’T use CSS Frameworks, but really it’s just a warning rather than a complete advocacy of the method.
With your head screwed on, you could be creating happy CSS websites for years to come.
“Let’s take a look at the idea behind CSS Frameworks, their advantages and disadvantages, most popular CSS frameworks and dozens of default-stylesheets you can use designing a new web-site from scratch.”
