Recently I wrote about how I love to be spontaneous, and I stand-by that methodology. However, I also like a good bit of planning if I have the opportunity. But perhaps, this time, I took it too far? It's all in the listI am away from...
I read Robert's post about The beauty of a simple hello, and could not agree more. So many people move through life in their own bubble. Focusing on their own passage. Ignoring the wider surroundings. For me, I like to embrace life more...
I recently came across a few blog posts via my RSS reader from people explaining their Inventory. At first I didn't quite understand the context of the term but after reading a few blog posts I got it. I've never been a video-game player...
It's no secret, I love being spontaneous -- doing something at a moments notice. Perhaps a random thing or a desire I have had for a while but I've decided now is the time. I appreciate it is not for everyone, but I have two friends who...
Today I discovered a new word: Antepenultimate Say what? I read it as part of a passage in a book, and although I guessed what it might be, it was one of those words I had to look up to be sure. It then made me investigate further. How...
Over the last few weeks I have undertaken a higher than usual level of travelling and hotel stays, for work related activities. I tried to make use of trains as much as I could as the distances were several hours driving. I love driving,...
Occasionally in life we come across something that is so obvious that we assume everyone does it, yet we realise it's not the norm. I was working on a project last week and explained to a colleague a technique I utilise; he was literally...
I've reached mid-life by muddling through one of life's great challenges. For too long I have disguised my failure and disgarded my effort, with some disgust and embarrassment, in the depth of the cupboard. Today, fellow readers, I can...
Acronyms are great, as they save unnecessary repetition, but bear in mind that assumption is a foolish thing when writing. Firstly, the definition of an acronym: An abbreviation formed by the initial letters of other words. We've all...
Today I arrived in Edinburgh — capital city of Scotland. I'm here for work, and for the next three days I will be attending a conference. However, for today it was simply to arrive, check-in to my hotel, and then relax for the remainder...
Apparently the way I treat my butter means that society labels me! Let's roll back to last weekend — we had the out-laws staying with us. (My Other Half's sisters, niece, and great-nephew). It turned out to be a lovely weekend, although...
Hey, someone has stolen September. Seriously, where did it actually go? I'm embarrassed to note that I only fired out three blog posts in the whole of September. I knew I was busy with life and work-type things, but honestly, I can't...
I genuinely don't understand the point of LinkedIn. Over the years I have embraced a number of social media style services. I've joined and left many platforms -- Remember Friends Reunited (2000), Bebo (2005), Google Wave/Buzz/+ (Changed...
We now live in a throw-away society — there's no denying it. Fast fashion often dominates the news, but Tech is not squeaky-clean by any means. The current story is the imminent cessation of Windows 10 updates. Granted, your Windows 10...
I think it is fair to say that the vast majority of us take the independent/small web for granted. An army of individuals, or small groups of people, beaver away behind the scenes creating fantastic applications and web content. Take a...
