I only write occasionally here now, as you will see. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, which are all still accessible.

Blog Updates!
Sharp-eyed readers might have noticed a new addition to the blog — comments! But don’t get too excited just yet — you can’t use them at the moment. In fact, if you click on the comments link, absolutely nothing happens… The main work I’ve been doing on the blog goes on behind the scenes. I’ve…

Counter working!
I’ve finally got my counter working! Yay! I’m afraid I had to take a few liberties with the Crossring account (well, I set up a MySQL database on it) but seeing as I’m the only one who’s paid for it at the moment, I didn’t think that was a bad temporary solution! Especially as I…

Tonight only: Matthew on Lust
Sorry about that title, but this morning in the Anglican Chaplaincy Matthew preached about lust! So I felt I had to take the opportunity to have that as a title somewhere 🙂 Anyway. I haven’t really done much exciting. At work I was busy, so not much happened there… I’m writing this in Colchester. I…

How to waste a few minutes of your time!
Step one: visit this website. Step two: enjoy 🙂 Anyway, um, not much else to say… been busy at work… out to a house group this evening, my church is doing 40 Days of Purpose so I’m doing the house group that goes along with it. Anyway, um, yeah… that’s all folks!

*sigh*…
There’s so much I’d like to do with PHP, unfortunately getting it to work with Fedora Core seems to be … well, tricky. It’s just a matter of setting all the permissions! I wrote a generic XML parser type thing for this blog system which I want to try and port across to Crossring. Unforunately,…

Busy!
I was busy at work today! There are only three of us in the office this week, or at least for the most part it’s just the three. Quite how we’re coping I don’t know, but we’re doing it somehow! One good thing about it is that I now feel much more part of the…

Using Internet Explorer?
Are you using Internet Explorer? Do you wonder why this page doesn’t look right (i.e, there’s no menu bar on the right hand side where there should be one)? Don’t blame me, Blame Microsoft. It’s all their fault :-p

Why?!
I don’t know why, but for some reason solving one problem always seems to bring up others. I’ve managed to get PHP working with creating files on Linux – but now there’s a problem with the ordering of them, or something. On the main page, the posts come up in a funny order, and I…

Safely back at home
Just a quick post to say that I’m safely back at home 🙂 I had a really good course, I think it’s going to be very useful to me. Not just with work — with a lot of different stuff. For example, I’ve just resynced post counts and join dates over at Crossring… now it’s…

Hello from London!
I am currently down in central London, on my training course (on a lunchbreak, just in case you think I’m actually writing this while meant to be working…). I haven’t got very much longer actually, so I’d better think about getting back soon. It’s going well. I’m staying with Philippa’s parents, which I think was…
