Interview feedback

“The board felt you could improve on your .NET experience and felt you could have been more inventive with your answers.”

Sigh. Anyone got any tips for inventive answers to interview questions?

CSS magnifying glass

Had a chat at the War Museum last week, in which we talked (among other things) about the difficulty of making large paintings available in detail over the web. This afternoon I knocked together a quick magnifying glass, using CSS and the DOM-Drag javascript library. The code behind it is pretty crappy at the moment (it's a rehash of the magnifier I wrote about 4 years ago) but I think it looks promising: The British Power Boat Company.

No division

I haven't posted a music video for a while, so here's a rousing anthem from my current favourite band, Hot Water Music. Perhaps it'll go some way towards cleansing my brain of Celine Dion's truly awful cover of You Shook Me All Night Long. There are dark, nameless horrors lurking in the hidden corners of youtube, ready to catch the unwary.

Here's some more HWM. I saw 'em live in Camden just after they released No division. They were ace.
