I have shamelessly nicked this from Simon’s blog, but I thought it was worth repeating here for the benefit of those who aren’t considered Simon’s friends 😉 How should you vote in the upcoming general election? Consider turning to the Bible for reference – look at Ecclesiastes 10:2 (seriously, even if you’re not religious, it’s…

I haven’t been up to much recently. I just wanted to update and say that! Just to let you know that I’m alive 🙂 I’ve been doing a fair bit of DJing this week (or at least, practising DJing). Bought a couple of new tunes. Gone through to the next round of the online DJ…

Well, it’s been quite a good weekend. Friday night I didn’t do much… Saturday morning, I went over to a friend of mine’s to work on a new design for Crossring. That was quite a productive time! Then, in the afternoon I met Philippa at Ipswich station and she came round and stayed overnight. We…

One of these days, I’ll post something which isn’t about the new blog system! The funny thing is, this website isn’t actually using the latest version of the blog. I have learnt from past mistakes, and I’m not developing on a live website any more! Speaking of which, I’m going to reinstall Linux and try…

Well, I’ve been working on the blog a bit further… hopefully things will be all set to download by the end of the week! Don’t wait with baited breath, though, I might have to go away on a client visit for work sometime which would push the date back a bit. It’s in a usable…

Well, I’ve got some good news and some bad news. Let’s start with the good news… the good news is that I’ve added a new feature to the blog – the ability to archive posts the minute you make them (i.e., as you will see this post now appears in the Archive, even though it’s…

Hi, I just thought I’d make a quick post saying what I’d been up to. I came down to London on Monday to stay with Philippa, and have been down here since then. The weather hasn’t exactly been the best it could have been, in fact it’s been a bit miserable, but we’ve had a…

Just thought I’d post up a message saying – Happy Easter! Um, and – now for the reason I made this post… I bought a couple of albums on Friday. One of them was ‘Parachutes’ by Coldplay, which has been one of my favourite albums for a long time – I’m just getting around to…

This is really for a friend of mine (Joe), as one of his many goals in life is “World Domination”. I have found a web page that might help. I particularly like this one: Law 17 – Keep Others in Suspended Terror: Cultivate an Air of Unpredictability Humans are creatures of habit with an insatiable…
