Regular visitors will notice one of my favourite sites is 'Least I Could Do ' – irreverant, sexist, funny.

The artist behind the strip, Lar DeSouza, recently recorded all the steps he used to make one of the strips. Amazing stuff and makes my own feeble efforts at drawing pale into insignificance. Good work, fella!

Browsing other people's code is always good for fun and frolics. Google Code Search makes it easy.

This guy has compiled some interesting searches. 27400 results for 'this is a hack'?

Huge ‘well done’ to Dave (and everyone else) for surviving Dave’s Amsterdam Stag Do. Excellent weekend was had by all.

Pics are available here for your delectation and enjoyment.

I came across the Guerrilla Guide To Interviewing – an excellent guide for interviewers, and it's also good for interviewees to read as well.

It goes through the usual 'what to ask the candidate' spiel but also gives examples of bad questions to ask and is written in a friendly but informative manner.
