Summer Olympics 2010

After, to be frank, a generally unmentionable 2010, the brightest spark on the calendar looms tomorrow: Summer Olympics - kids doing silly stuff and loving every minute, while the physically mature try and organise a p+++-up around a BBQ. Who cares if it rains on our heads... I look forward to a day to forget about other things!

Daddy Papersurfer's Top 100 Matches of the Day

The latest New Idea on The Top 100 from Daddy Papersurfer. It's kind of like L.S.Lowry meets the Far Side... Brilliant :-))

Check it out.....

The Top 100 Artists

When setting out on the Project Dennis mission, The Top 100 Artists was one of the lists I was looking forward to seeing most. It's very rewarding to finally see it come to fruition, and fascinating to see how other people view the great masters and how the list adjusts as new people come on to give their opinions.

Now, how about The Top 100 Paintings... :-)

What's a Widget?

This is... :-) 

The Project Dennis uber-technicians have conjured a truly brilliant little thingamybob called a 'list widget'. Basically, anywhere on TheTop100.net website where you are viewing a list, you can click the new ListWidget button and get a copy of the list for your own website or blog. It updates automatically, so it's always up-to-date with current opinion, and you can even resize it to fit wherever you need on a page. It's brilliant!

Can't find the right Top 100 list to put on your site? Simple, start your own...

Vote Dennis!

I'm glad to see that the word is spreading already. Orangepeel spied this with his little i-thingy while out peddling...

Vote Dennis! (you know it makes sense)

Pop Goes The Dennis

Well, it's been a while in the brewing and a somewhat complicated birth, but Dennis is finally opening his eyes to the big, wide world. Lots still to do but thought I'd mark the occasion with a quick post between sips of bubbles. If you happen to be passing, do drop by and say hello...

Holy Whale? Maybe not. Whale of a time? Absolutely :-)

More votes for everyone!

So we have a new government, a coalition of the willing if you like, which is nice. Mr Cameron & Mr Clegg seem to be getting on awfully well, making speeches and compromises and promises of change and reform. Let's see how long it lasts.

It seems first-past-the-post doesn't necessarily deliver the ideal verdict but apparently there's a new way of voting just around the corner:- it will be slick, simple and much, much fairer. 

 Naturally, I’m not referring to PR, AV, AV+, STV, STDs or any kind of boring political reform. No, I’m much more excited about the incredible voting and ranking system that beats in Dennis’ heart, that our friendly Alpha Testers have been putting through its paces over the last 6 weeks or so.

Lots of brilliant feedback has led to lots of tweaking both small and large, and after (at the exact time of writing) 18,911 votes, 2,219 ratings and 616 reviews, we’re now very close to opening the doors to the wider world. Drop by soon at...

Incidentally, in The Top 100 Dinner Guests, Nick Clegg sits at #35 and David Cameron at #40, with Oz Clarke, Spike Milligan, Vic Reeves and Jamie Oliver nestling between them. Not much of a cabinet perhaps, but I suspect it would make a lively evening…
