As mentioned above, this site is written and maintained by
Rob Hague, an expert at talking about himself in the third person.
Rob's
homepage can be found here.
In 2002, he tried (and succeeded) to
write a novel in
a month. At some point he'll take the logo off the front page. But not
yet.

Software

I occasionally write things that might be of some use to
other people (and isn't owned by some
huge corporation
or other). Some of this can
be found here.

Mac OS X Odds & Sods
|
|
I've had an Apple iBook for a while now, an have generally been very pleased with it. I've created a
virtual dumping ground for my musings about Mac OS X here.

Links

This page is a collection of
links to useful/interesting/fun stuff that I've come
across.
You may have arrived here by mistake; if you're an opera
fan, try roh.org.uk. If you're

I also collaborate with Ben Chalmers to produce the
Imaginary Movie
Database, a site dedicated to those films that other sources
seem to miss. We've not updated in a while, but we'll start again Real Soon Now. Honest.

Makes a change from Viagra
|
|
Got into work this morning to find some interesting spam waiting for me. It
begins:
You\'re invited to shop for large selection of bombs and different
kinds of rockets such as surface-to-air,
surface-to-surface and weaponry available at reduced price. With the
following types of rockets you will be
able to commit terrorist attacks, destroy buildings, electric power
stations, bridges, factories and anything
else that comes your mind. Most items are in stock and available for
next day freight delivery in the USA.
Worldwide delivery is available at additional cost. Prices are
negotiable.
It go on to list todays specials, including cluster bombs and high explosive
fragmentation air bombs. Fuel-air explosives are apparently out of stock.
Of course, this could all be a complete con, and you may never get the
megadeath weapons you order. However, if I were looking to defraud someone
for large amounts of money, I'd think twice before picking a mark who was in
the process of shopping around for military hardware. Then again, I'm not the
sort of person who sends out spam, so what do I know.

Sensible Title Bars Under Windows XP
|
|
I made a simple but useful discovery today at work; it is possible to
make the title bars on Windows XP a reasonable size without resorting to a
thrid-party skinning tool or the "classic" look (yes, yes - I know the classic
window furniture looks far less like it belongs around The Square Window, but
the toolkit and colour scheme is far better in the XP theme). Just go to the
"Appearance" tab of Display Properties, and click Advanced. Select a title bar
in the illustration, and you can change the font and size, allowing you to
make the title bar smaller. Selecting "System" (which is only available at
10pt) makes the title bar eighteen pixels, which is more or less the same as
Classic. I've no idea why I didn't spot this earlier, but I'm glad I did.
