Creativity, curiosity, and code
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! […]
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 […]
I’ve had my HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) that I got for my cycle training for about 6 weeks now so it’s time I did a bit of a write up. Why Bother? First of all, why bother with an HRM? (If you haven’t spotted already I’m the kind of person that thinks a LOT and […]
This is a bit of an unstructured brain-dump of where certain techie things are in my head right now. I wrote about my use of Twitter a while back. One of the boons of this has been watching the inspiring little comments of an old Bathonian friend of mine. My friend (I won’t name him […]
A friend of mine is engaged in a little, private “Beta” website that I’m contributing to. It’s kinda Christian-themed news and random stuff. I’ve spent some time tonight on a post which I hope he doesn’t mind me cross-posting here. —– You may, like me, have noticed the latest big thing on the Internet…a new […]
Just a quick note. As a little joint birthday treat to ourselves, we’ve managed to track down and purchase a Nintendo Wii! We’re not big gamers but we’ve always like fun, multiplayer games, and the Wii is cheap and fits the bill. I’ll be writing more about this incredible time-wasting machine soon, but if any […]
I’m strangely obsessed with tracking my cycle times! I think the whole blogging thing, and tracking my life in general, started last year when I wasn’t well and wanted to record some of what was going on so that I could spot trends and try to work out what was causing me to be ill, […]
Sally and I are doing our best to be green. We’ve very aware of green issues and what the scientists say, but we also just think that it makes sense to do it. Using less energy is cheaper and uses less of the finite resources of the earth. It makes sense to reduce consumption, reuse […]
I’m on my own this weekend as Sally’s off on a working holiday. So I’m doing some catching up and messing around. Here’s a little video I like. It’s a time-lapse of people looking at the “Shibboleth” exhibit at the Tate Modern, in December 2007. I’m usually more interested with people’s reactions to the Turbine […]
Who knows when and by whom this is being read, but as I write there is a new little box in the top-right-hand corner of my blog showing something called “Twitter” updates. This is a little something I’ve been playing with and I want to explain why. A Brief History of Social Networking in the […]
