Creativity, curiosity, and code
Alas, after a good blogging revival in December and the start of Jan, it’s been back to no-blogging for most of the last month. To be honest, I’ve mostly been locked away in my office getting umpteen websites finished and put live, so there’s not been much to tell (though look out for site launch […]
There’s something I’ve been meaning to do for years now. I’m quite partial to my music. I know that my taste’s aren’t amazing, but I like what I like. And sometimes – when the house is empty – I like to have it a bit louder. Now that Sally’s back at work and Isaac’s at […]
The StarWalk app had a nice little Christmas touch…spot it if you can, amongst the stars. Happy Christmas to all friends, family, and anyone else that reads. May you know joy and peace and many blessings in the year ahead.
While I’ve not quite left the Facebook-owned Instagram, I have downloaded all my photos using the very helpful Instaport service. To Instagram’s credit, they form quite a nice little snapshot of a brief period of life. Most of them are here for your perusal (should you choose to indulge me) and my own reminiscing.

So it seems like the fuss about Instagram’s Terms and Conditions was over-hyped. It always seemed that way. But it has pushed me over a tipping point anyway. Yesterday and today have seen me starting to process of deleting data from Facebook and Instagram, and seriously considering what other social networking accounts I have.
Oh, bother, I said that wrong didn’t I? Well, here we are. After being pushed over the edge of dumping some social media services by Instagram’s latest terms and conditions, I’ve decided to focus more on the blog here. So, I’ve given it a fresh look, installed some whizzy new plugins, and…well…we’ll see how long […]
First there were blogs which let you write your own messages to the world of any length. Then there was Facebook which let you communicate to just your friends. Then there was Twitter, which let you openly publish messages of 140 characters or less. We here at Wintle Towers have designs of our own. Shunning […]
