I came across this quote recently: We in the Orthodox church regard all religions as being an indication of God’s graciousness to mankind.

In case you’re not aware, the Acid2 test is a website which is designed to test capabilities of the browser to determine whether it is fully compliant with certain web standards. This is a highly significant milestone for any web developer —…

… “I don’t know who she is, but she really packs ’em in!” So goes the old (cartoon) joke, where the above line is spoken looking at a poster outside a church for ‘Carol Singers’. I expect you can now guess what we were doing this weekend! On Friday evening we had a practice for…

I started piano lessons when I was about 12 or 13 years of age. I did grades, up to Grade 4 – which I scraped through in December, 2000. Suffice it to say, I didn’t really practice that much! I should take a moment to explain that if you don’t know much about the ABRSM…
