Moving home
Dear very small readership The long and short of this (well, the short of it) is that I’m going to move by blog away from Google’s Blogger to WordPress in the near future. This will mean that: The URL will remain the same. EXCEPT…if you read a feed this will probably be at a new […]

Social Web – the good and the bad
Control Alt Delete FIRST: A blatant plug for our favourite, not-very-well-known band (yes, we know someone in it) Iko. We don’t like them because we know them – we like them because we think they do really good music! They are on the verge of releasing their second album and have just released a freely […]

Software Updates and Progress Bars
A couple of IT annoyances. Software Updates It seems that whenever I turn my computer on at the moment, about half of the software needs to auto-update. Pidgin (IM client), Firefox (and extensions), Anti-Virus, Adobe Reader and Flash, Windows, iTunes…it’s incessant! And it means that it’s about half an hour from pushing the on button […]

Getting Wii Fit
A Confession Having finally, after many months, confessed to having a Wii and telling the world what I think about it. It’s time for the next step of my “coming out”. We, after a long period of searching, also bought a Wii Fit! If you have no idea what I’m talking about then take a […]

Playing with Symfony
OK, here’s where I kinda “come out” as a true geek. Most of this will probably mean nothing to any of you and for that I make absolutely no apology whatsoever. This whole post is a bit of a brag, but it’s writing up what’s been an intriguing afternoon/evening for me too. I have a […]

Google Chrome
The Internet (and, indeed, the press in general) has been alive with talk of Google Chrome. As always, I won’t have much to add to the masses of stuff that’s already been written, but here’s how Chrome has been for me. Hearing about it Heck, it was only yesterday but it seems so long ago! […]

Domain Settings
Quick note for any regular readers (I think there might be two of you!), I’ve been playing with some technical jiggery-pokery (DNS sub-domain/CNAME entries to be exact) and have managed to make Blogger look like it’s on my own domain. Woo hoo! So, hopefully, regardless of where it’s hosted (this MAY be under review), my […]
