All too often, I have ideas which might make a cool website or iPhone app or whatever and I know I just don't have the time to build them. I'm going to post them here in the hope that someone else might find a use for them. These ideas might already be in existence, of course. I'm not claiming they are unique in any way (although some might be).

You are free to take these ideas and do whatever you like with them. Of course, if they become amazingly successful, I could do with a bigger TV...

...in several easy steps.

1: Have a too-clever-for-its-own-good CMS that is child-like in its simplicity yet Canadian-lumber-forest-like in its ability to be hacked.
2: Build several different websites using said CMS, each with their own unique hacks.
3: Have all the sites open in your FTP client and in your text editor
4: Play an episode of Firefly in the background to distrct you.

Now, the next few steps must be done in very quick succession:

5: Upload files from site A to site B
6: Realise mistake, download replacements from site C
7: Upload replacements to site D
8: Realise mistake, reset Subversion backup C
9: Upload site C to site A
10: Watch River Tam kick ass
11: Realise you're getting confused, delete everything and start again
12: Delete Subversion backup B
13: Delete entire project B

Now that you've done that, all that's left is to put everything back the way it was on A, C and D and trawl old backup disks and Google cached pages to try and get B back.

14: Watch Mal shoot someone.
15: Write it up in a post on the freshly-restored, looks-like-it-was-never-broken site B.

Fairly straightforward, really.

Regular readers will, of course, remember my previous experiences with my Japanese barber. Well, I started to look like some kind of scruffy hippie again so I braved the rain, grabbed the infamous umbrella and headed out for another haircut. This time, I decided to go the whole hog and find out what the full shave-and-a-haircut experience was like.

He shaved my forehead.

My forehead! Shaved! With a cut-throat razor! Exclamation mark!11One!Factorial

I was so busy being shocked that I only just noticed he followed it by shaving my earlobes. I'm now hairless in places that have had hair since before I was born.

I don't really have any conclusion to take from it other than - He Shaved My Forehead...

You can either download the Noodle Firefox extension from the Mozilla Addons Site (recommended but requires registration) or below.

Noodle Firefox extension [1.0.5].

If you download from the Mozilla site, you can leave a review and increase the chance it'll get accepted into the public area (no registration required).

It has been tested with Firefox 2 and 3. Surprisingly, it also works fine with both of them, too.
