For those who follow along with my ramblings, you may recall my relationship with the Kagi search engine. On testing it, I loved the idea but was on the fence about paying for my search results. After the trial I returned to my more...
Last year I reflected on if I should grow up, as I notched another year around the sun. And here we are a year later. Last week I continued my annual rotation. I can say with some conviction that I am happy that I have not morphed into a...
Like many others, I seem to have amassed a number of domain names over the years, and I just can't seem to let go of many of them. Currently I have 48 registered domains. Some are for projects which are current; others for old projects...
It's time to clip my trotters! I've never been a nail-biter, which means that every few weeks I need to get the shears out and clip the trotters 😁 I tend to pay little attention to them, but there is always a day when I am suddenly aware...
Why do people feel the need to post spoilers and clues about daily puzzle games? What do they hope to achieve? All it does is ruin someone else's fun as they now have more information than is required to complete the game. I see it for...
Perhaps I am being a judgemental asshole -- hey, it does happen; I am not always Mr supportive, full of sugar and cheer! I have a problem with businesses using free email addresses. So you want me to pay your hourly rate to fix my...
Today when I visited the supermarket, there was a lady at the entrance handing out leaflets. She was asking people to buy a few extra items and place those in the box to be donated to the local foodbank. The leaflet gave ideas on the...
The last month or two have been extremely busy for me — work wise. I seem to have had little time to socialise and have been working much more than usual. I blogged at the end of last year on how I completely changed my career — it's...
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...
