I have been working for the last couple of weeks on a new community site for doll collectors. I admit that might seem a little odd to anyone who doesn’t know – and odder still, because I don’t actually collect dolls. I appreciate the artistic intent in their creation and the distillation of their personality…
Yes, I’m finding it easier to get things done with a to-do list. Mind you, having tried to use two or three on the iPhone, I’ve realised it needs to be desktop or paper-based. Unless I can find a good one that effectively stretches across iPhone and desktop in a seamless, sync’d-in fashion. Having a…
Facebook might have a few issues, but social networking as a medium for restoring acquaintances I can’t argue with. I admit freely I’m uncertain why I feel the need to restore connections… guilt, possibly. I feel that I, as a person, have never done enough to maintain the colleagues and friends I made in the…
I have serious doubts about this sort of product‘s appeal. Yes, I realise there’s a humorous slant here; but, this woman looks like she’s been dug up or defrosted. Like ‘Macho Women with Guns‘, ‘Hot Chicks‘ approaches action gaming with tongue planted firmly in cheek – so firmly, one would suspect, that to the wrong…
Just finished reading ‘And Another Thing…‘, Eoin Colfer’s contribution to the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series.

However, ‘And Another Thing…‘ seems to take ‘drift’ to…
I had grand plans for this weekend, but somewhere in the mix I have become side-tracked by some irritating minutiae. I have a To Do list on my laptop, constantly lingering in view, so I have no excuse to lose focus. I have managed to remove a couple of things from the list – like…
Spent part of the weekend transferring someone’s web sites from a ‘wizard’ created PHP page, that dynamically pulled the content for different pages from the backend, to a WordPress installation with functionality to support the site purpose – publicising the availability of a holiday apartment. I find it hard to explain to people sometimes that…
Well, the world moved on in the last fortnight, didn’t it. The weather has shimmied and jostled from overpowering heat to moist and warm – at a pace quite alarming to most. I have gone from spending one night sleeping above the quilt, to the next tucked firmly beneath it – and that isn’t right,…
I’m pleased to see that Weebl-Stuff now offers a Footy Badger experience updated to included the unique atmospheric experience of the lepatata. Personally, I have no particular love for football – so the inclusion of the vuvuzela in all matches of the 2010 World Cup has simply layered more frosted shit on an already soiled…
