I promised myself I wouldn’t get into political or religious discussion on this blog because, well, you should never discuss either with people you potentially don’t know. Also, every other blogger and news reporter will be writing about the same old damn stuff.
But, before I stay up all night to see if our friends in [...]
My first websites
Way back when in 1997, I had been creating websites. I had been doing it for a while before then, but then it was all about just creating stuff at home and having fun. So, I teamed up with my good friend Nick to build some websites that would see the light of day.
Anyway, I [...]
Get the 80s snacks back here
For too long we have had mediocre snacks from the 1990s and 2000s. Everyone will be aware by now that Wispa is back. Lovely!
However, nothing quite prepared me this very lunch time, as I popped out with friend and old time colleague Mr. Clive Murray for the weekly Subway, for the discovery we made.
We headed [...]
Give me fruit, fruit & meat
I love startups, I really bl**dy do! Well, when they are exciting. I take the same view as Stefan Fountain that startups should be useful, fun to use at first, then they just get integrated into your life, they become something you just use. Some aren’t that useful and just fun, but hey, it generally [...]
The Contacts Fiasco
I’ve just sorted a problem I have had for more than 10 years now. It took a while, but I think it is finally sorted.
What is this problem I speak of? Well, my contacts. I started using a mobile phone back in 1997. I had been using the internet for email and did have an [...]
Don’t dial 0870
There are days when you need to contact a company’s customer services of some kind. You tend to call and have to wait for them to pick up, sometimes for 1 minute, sometimes 10, sometimes 1 hour. A lot of the time, these services have an 0870 number which is a national rate phone number [...]
Those outdoor toilets
So there I was, walking home last Friday. And I saw the photo pictured to, hopefully, the left of this text. I found this funny, why? I love these things. I love them because every time I am quite drunk round town. I look for the darkest alley I can find, and usually find one [...]
Happy Lupercalia
Ahhh, Valentine’s day. i’m not even going to lie to you, good reader, I hate it. I could go on some ranting mission about the commercial aspect and various card making companies to sell cards for this lull in the year. But no, the reason I hate it is ‘cos it hates me. Or it [...]
What’s a Nerd, What’s a geek?
I’m going to say it now, very clearly, I am a geek, I’m actually proud to have this title bestowed upon me, I’m out, I sat my parents down, and i said “mum, dad, i am geek”, they hurt at first, but now they have come to accept that sometimes I will bring a new [...]
We’ve all thought it
Every morning as I wake up, I read my RSS feed reader, this morning was no different, I read all kinds of tech stuff etc. but I also read some cartoons, my favourite currently being xkcd, this particular one tickled me as it’s what we have all thought, in some way, at some point.
