I was trying to get to sleep last night when something disturbed me.  Sounded like carpet being shredded.  Must be nothing, my imagination because when I lifted my head it stopped.  About 30 minutes later the same sound woke the wife and I but this time I clocked the culprit.  In the shadows of the hall I could see a small dark shadow by the bathroom door that shouldn’t be there.  When I got up to investigate the shadow disappeared, as if it was never really there.  On closer inspection something had indeed been there chewing the door.  Could it have been a speedy mouse?

About every hour we were woken up by this noise, driving us crazy.  By the time morning came we had banished him to the spare room where he chewed that door instead.  Liz sat on the spare bed and waited for the creature to show his face in daylight, something I thought it wouldn’t do.  How wrong was I?  Liz came down the stairs holding a bag of clothes that was destined for the loft.  The cute little mouse was in the bag, nice one.

We took the bag outside and emptied it.  Bloody hell it was fast, shot across the deck at such speed.  We’re so glad it’s gone.  We couldn’t have handled another night like that.  Mouse traps will be set up around the perimeter of the room though, just incase he returns.  I’ll smash his fooking head in!

Want to rename your page title using iWeb? You can’t, well not using iWeb anyway.

I came across this problem when developing my photography site. My site has multiple pages, Home, Abstract, Portrait and so on. Links to these pages are placed in a navigation bar across the top of the site. All works well unless you want the web browser to display something different above the URL. For instance, I wanted to display the name of the web site, not the page name. Notice how in the following screen shot the page name “Home” is displayed in the browser title bar. Not what I wanted.

Basically, the page name displays at the top of the browser window and it’s not editable. There is an easy work around though using TextEdit on the mac.

You’ll need to edit the HTML files for your site using TextEdit. From Finder right click on the HTML file you wish to edit then select “Open With” followed by “TextEdit”. Don’t panic if the HTML code isn’t displayed. Enter Preferences for TextEdit and make sure under “Open and Save” you have “Ignore rich text commands in HTML files” ticked as below.

Once you’ve edited this quit TextEdit and reopen to allow these changes to take effect. You should now be faced with a page full of HTML code. What you’re looking for is near the top, something like this .

Where i’ve written “Home” is the text that needs changing to alter what is displayed in the browser above the URL. Edit this piece of text to display what you want to see in the browser then save the file. Remember you’ll need to do this for every page of your site and do it again if you edit the page using iWeb.

You’ll then need to upload these files using an FTP loader. I use FileZiller as it’s free and easy to use. Once all these changes have been completed and the pages uploaded to the server you should see your page as you intended. You may need to refresh the page or clear the cache to see the changes though.

Why the fook would you buy a crappy fuel gauge screen saver for your mobile phone?  Not sure how much it costs but I’d bet it’s the wrong side of £1.  Mobile phones have a battery monitor so adding a screen saver that actually eats into your battery power seems like a dumb idea.  Then again, buying any mobile phone screen saver, wallpaper or ring tone has never made sense to me.  If you know what you’re doing, any of these can be created on a PC for free.
