Just a quick post tonight… I’ve been looking for a BitTorrent client on Ubuntu for a while now. Ubuntu does come with one, but unfortunately it’s not that great – it’s fine for basic downloading of one torrent at a time, but it’s not so great if you want to do advanced stuff, like download…

This weekend was fairly quiet. On Friday evening we went to Tesco, as we were having my parents round on Saturday so we needed to get some supplies. On Saturday my parents and my sister Alison came round, and we had a BBQ to celebrate their 25th anniversary. There are a few photos of this…

No, unfortunately, not on Safari in Africa. On Apple’s Safari browser for Windows. Seeing as Matthew wrote a few thoughts on it a couple of days ago, I decided to try it myself, so I’ve just downloaded and installed it. I haven’t really used it much yet, but here are my first impressions: It’s not…

I use Eclipse Internet for my ADSL broadband connection. It’s only been switched on for a few days (since last Wednesday, in fact). It seems to be going well so far – better than my old provider at least (it’s quite a bit faster). The only problem was, sometimes web pages didn’t load up completely…

I’ve just signed up for last.fm. This means that, amongst other things, you can see what I’ve just been listening to on my profile. At some point I might put a little “last.fm” box on this site to show the same thing, I don’t know about other people but I find it quite interestnig when…

Last week, I had a ham sandwich. I also had some jam with my toast for breakfast one day. On Saturday, I went to see “Spamalot” (do you like the way I linked that in there? 😉 ) In order to celebrate Jon B’s birthday, a bunch of us met up on Saturday morning and…

I mentioned the other day that I was looking at different content management systems for the Fordham Church website. I’ve decided to stick with MODx because I already know it, and it would take ages to migrate everything over to another system! I’ve used the NewsListing snippet to generate a News page, and I’ve created…

I mentioned a while ago (for example, here) that I was reading a few books about the cross. I can’t remember whether I’ve mentioned it much on this blog before, but basically the reason I’ve been reading about the cross is because of the various different views on Jesus’ death I have come across recently.…

As some of you may know, I am the webmaster for the Fordham Church website. It is currently using the MODx CMS. I quite like it – it’s quite flexible, easy to edit, and customising the look and feel is very easy. However, it does have one drawback: the pages are all fairly static in…

As usual I’ve left it too late after the weekend and I can’t actually remember much of what I did last weekend. On Friday evening we didn’t really do much… on Saturday, Philippa’s parents and her aunt & uncle (who live in Australia) came round for the day. It was really nice to see them.…
