Piece of advice
If you are thinking about a document / content management system, and you’re an enterprise, don’t use Microsoft SharePoint. It sucks. It really sucks. Here endeth the lesson.

Easter Weekend
So… what did I get up to this Easter weekend? I have a whole four days to catch up on here! You know a little of what I did, but let’s see if I can remember the rest. I stayed with my parents for the weekend, so I went back to Ipswich on Friday afternoon.…

What to do if you become an Evil Overlord
I found a great list today of things (not) to do if you become an Evil Overlord. Here’s the intro: Being an Evil Overlord seems to be a good career choice. It pays well, there are all sorts of perks and you can set your own hours. However every Evil Overlord I’ve read about in…

I have succumbed!
Yes, that’s right. I have succumbed to the temptation – I’m now the proud owner of a shiny new 30Gb iPod. But before you accuse me of selling my soul to The Man, let me explain to you my reasoning… I wanted to get an MP3 player. Specifically, I wanted to get an MP3 player…

Anti Virus for Linux

It will be given at the Royal Society’s London headquarters, but (assuming you can’t make that) it will be webcast live. It should be an interesting one to watch – I’m hoping…

Comments Spam and Photos
I’m getting really annoyed by the amount of comments spam that I’m getting. I usually have about one spambot on here a day, trying to post up adverts to sites for pharmaceuticals etc. I don’t know what kind of return they’re getting on spam, but it can’t be much – do people really buy stuff…

The Weekend
So… what’s been happenin’ this weekend? Well, I’ll tell you! (Don’t ask me why I have these conversations on my blog. It’s not important. All you need to know is that you ain’t seen me, roight?) On Friday evening, Philippa and I were babysitting for some friends of ours from home group. It was quite…

Evolution and creation
We had our home group last night, which I was leading. We were looking at the question “Has science disproved God?”. We did have quite an interesting discussion, and I think quite a useful one! I think it is quite worrying that a lot of people seem to believe science and faith are in conflict…
