Creativity, curiosity, and code
Facebook’s import of my Blog into its “Notes” section has been on the blink for a few weeks and today finally gave up on me – so I’ve reconfigured the feed and re-synchronised everything, so hopefully it will stay up to date now. Apologies for any confusion.
As a bit of a techie I like my gadgets. I’m not over the top in this respect, but I like it when technology can improve my life or do something useful. So when I buy new “toys”, I’ve generally thought quite hard about it. I really don’t intend to start making this a “Gadget […]
