Just a quick post to note that I won’t be able to blog over the next few weeks. I’m just back from a business trip to Weybridge, then I’m off to Kiev on business all next week, then a week in Mallorca for my first proper holiday of year, then a few days in Ibiza [...]

Gmail has finally updated its contacts manager so that users can stop it from automatically adding every address they e-mail to their contacts list. I actually really like the way they’ve done it, by adding recently and most frequently e-mailed lists, addresses from which can then be easily transferred to contacts. It’s a long-overdue fix [...]

Better late than never, I’m back to blogging after going to BarCampLondon4 at the weekend. Somewhat ironic that I was possibly surrounded by the highest concentration of laptops in the world, and yet I’ve only just got round to writing this Anyway, in a nutshell, I had a great time - met lots of [...]

Just a couple of quick things I wanted to post.
First off, I’ve edited my About page recently so that it now includes a lifestream. This means that not only does it list my profiles around the Internet, but also aggregates information about what I’ve been doing on all of them onto one page. Check it [...]

I’m in the process of upgrading Wordpress (the software that powers this blog) along with all the plugins and customisations that I use on here. As a result, there may be some glitches or creases I need to iron out over the next day or two. If you do spot anything out of the ordinary, [...]

After much delay, I’m going to start blogging again. Really, I am What with one thing and another I somehow fell out of the way of it, but I’m going to make a concerted effort to make sure I keep it going this time. Just a quick disclaimer, though: my posts might be slightly [...]

No, really, I am… although you could have been forgiven for thinking otherwise, considering I’ve not written on here for over two months
Since moving to Newcastle to start my new job I’ve not had a chance to blog much, what with work, being out more in the evenings (I go rock climbing now!) [...]

Sorry I’ve still not blogged anything since I got the site up and running. I’ve been busy getting stuff ready for the next couple of weeks, as I’m off on holiday with my mate this week, then moving to Newcastle to start my new job straight after. All of this means that I won’t [...]

It may be a week overdue, but I finally got round to finishing the changes I wanted to make, so the site’s back up and running. Over the last week, I’ve made tonnes of minor changes to the code that should hopefully make it just that bit nicer to use, including adding Lightbox functionality to [...]

As the title suggests, you shouldn’t expect any posts on here for at least the next five days as I’m off to a party at my mate’s house. Chilling, drinking copious quantities of beer, going out, playing paintball, trampolining and driving around the Yorkshire Moors on an old London Routemaster bus are all on the [...]

For some reason known only to fate, the laws of nature, my drinking habits, an excess of lethargy and my slacker tendencies, I haven’t posted on here for weeks. This post is mainly to apologise for this, but also to ensure that I get round to posting tomorrow lest I expose to all three of [...]

I got back from Mallorca yesterday after a great week chilling out, diving, drinking and just having a laugh with my friends. However, I spent the whole week slightly worried because my exam results were due to come out the day before I came home and I really thought I’d totally screwed up my exams. [...]

Just a quick post to say that I’m away on holiday to Mallorca for the next week, so I won’t be blogging until 6 July at the earliest. I have quite a few interesting articles I’ve found this morning but I don’t have time to blog them right now, so watch this space next [...]

I had my call played on CNET’s Buzz Out Loud podcast today, which excited me no end because I’m a total geek. It has, however, served to emphasise that I hate hearing recordings of my own voice. Anyway, my point was this: Apple are rumoured to be planning a movie rental store, which would require [...]

Over the last few weeks when I’ve supposedly been on an Internet ban, I’ve nonetheless managed to bookmark quite a few interesting things. Yes, my ethernet cable did migrate back into my room. Anyway, I’m going to post anything that’s still relevant over the next couple of days so prepare for a deluge of [...]

Don’t expect any posts for the next fortnight or so. My finals are about to start and I have no willpower, so my ethernet cable will be living in a friend’s room until she deems I can have it back. I will, however, have limited e-mail access via the Gmail Java app on my phone.
Am [...]

About 17 minutes ago, Finals Fear kicked in big-time. My finals are in about 5 weeks, and I still have tonnes of work to do for them so this is just a quick note to say that my blog’s going on holiday for a wee while. I might post intermittently but don’t expect regular [...]

Just a quick post to say I now have a Jaiku profile. It’s basically a Twitter-style status service, but with RSS import facilities. I now have one stream which includes updates from everywhere - my blog posts, Facebook and Twitter statuses, Flickr photos, del.icio.us bookmarks, Upcoming events, Last.fm music, and recent YouTube favourites. There’s even [...]

Just a short post to say that I won’t be blogging till 22 March at the earliest, as I’m off to Tunisia for a Geography fieldtrip. I would blog from there, except (a) that’d be a bit obsessive, sad and anti-social, (b) I’ll be on the northern fringe of the Sahara in the middle of [...]

You know you’re a geek when you dream that you’re in an episode of Buffy then Vampire Slayer. I can’t remember much, but I do remember that a monster (disguised as a blonde woman) kept turning Willow into a chicken’s egg. And then Willow kept hatching out of the egg as a frog, which I [...]
