This is the code for my Daily Mail Story Generator, which I have just added a page for. This code generates the story, which I then parse into html to fit into my site hierarchy. It is a fairly trivial bit of code, but then so are the journalists who it mocks. *hehe*

ALF - the Apache Log Filter (techie)
ALF is a little project on which I'm working. Its a SQL based Apache Log Filter for web admins who need a little more flexibility, but are using text logging. This is an ogg theora preview of the alpha. The finished program will be a lot easier to use and friendlier, but, you know I'm easily excited. Watch this space for more!

Perl Poetry - sunshine.pl (techie)
A brief but rather snazzy perl poem celebrating the joys of spring, written on a particularly glorious March day. First published on perlmonks.

Real Ultimate Vista Programmers (funny)
I made this as a bit of a tongue in cheek dig at Vista, with a bit of help from the Real Ultimate Generator. It will make more sense if you look at realultimatepower.net first.

rob in ascii (funny)
This is my friend Rob 'Bobban' Jones in ASCII art format. I used jave to convert a jpeg photo. Best viewed by printing it out and standing a couple of yards away...

Windows/nix file opening (handy)
smbopengtk.pl is a little utility written in perl/gtk that allows you to open windows or unix style filepaths and switch between the two. It'll be a bit of a lifesaver at work, where I've just started using a Debian GNU/Linux box in a primarily windows environment.
First posted on Perl Monks. I've put up a screenshot of the interface.

resist.pl - political perl poetry (politics)
I submitted this perl poem (late blush) to Corporatewatch's 10 year anniversery poetry compilation, Poems in the face of corporate power.
They were after "writing from anyone in any creative form", so I thought "why not perl?!".
If you like it why not give them some money/support they are a brill bunch of folks doing an amazing job on a shoestring.

Third World First website (culture)
My flatmate Graham is working on a new Third World First website . Third World First was the progenitor of People & Planet, for whom I work, and for whom Graham used to.
Keep watching the site - there isn't much there yet, but I've seen the previews and it's going to be cool!
Nb. copyright on the site is G's, not mine.
