Being a busy idiot
This is original – a hand written blog post.
The Year of Living Dangerously
Today marks the beginning of a real, proper blog. The beginning of an effort to regularly expound words of interest to the passing crowd from a platform built of the best virtual boxwood (in reality it’s built on Apache, PHP, MySQL and Wordpress, but that doesn’t have the same ring to it).
Considering doing this whole blogging lark properly
The next sentence is going to cause a number of people to slap their own foreheads with their hands – perhaps the entire readership – you know, all six of you. I’m just warning you in advance so you don’t try and blame me for personal injury.
I’m considering buying a domain name and webspace to [...]
Nothing to see here
Nothing to see here
While talking with my cousin earlier, I realised a blog had not left a computer by my hand for several days. I'm not suggesting that some great wrong might occur somewhere in the universe in response to my inaction, but I don't really want to tempt fate either.
Blogging is of course serious [...]
I've done it again, haven't I…
My blog is back at Wordpress – hosted by their good selves rather than me. I haven’t so much gone “full circle”, as started another lap. Hopefully this will be the last.
After thinking about it all afternoon, and much of the evening, a few things occurred to me;
Why am I paying for blog posting ?
Why [...]
Taking Part in NaBloWriMo Again
I will be taking part in NaBloWriMo again this year (also known as “National Blog Writing Month”) – the annual challenge to write a blog post on every day throughout November. It sounds easy, but I can assure you from years gone by – it’s not.
The first few days are great fun – writing about [...]

I began writing a public journal online about 8 years ago, around the same time that the term “blogging” was coined. In many ways the early days were a time of innocence – blogs were diverse, interesting, honest, open, and [...]
Five New Blogs to Follow
While re-acquainting myself over the last few days with the various online communities I used to call home, I stumbled upon some excellent personal blogs that I had either forgotten about, or not seen before. In the spirit of sharing such discoveries, here they are;
Wonderland or Not
A wonderfully written collection of thoughts, observations, and experiences [...]
A New Wordpress Theme…
It’s not actually a “theme” as such yet – just an HTML and CSS file sat on my hard drive that I came up with over lunch. You can click on the image to see the full size one in Flickr…
I will neither confirm or deny that this will take over from my personal blog [...]
Change is good right?
I know, I know… I changed the look of this blog again (if you’re reading this through an RSS reader, you’ll need to click on the title to see the wonderous boringness of the Wordpress stock theme I have chosen).
I got bored. I was going to wait until Wordpress released some more free themes, and [...]
