It’s almost time for the Monaco Grand Prix, the most famous, and my least favourite, Grand Prix of the year, but then, I’ve been watching F1 for a long time so maybe I’ve been spoilt. F1 is increasingly popular these days, and whilst the Apple produced F1 movie was entertaining (if nonsense), it’s safe to […]Thanks...
I got the renewal notice for my Microsoft Office subscription through a while back, £85 for the year. Enough to make me pause and think, do I really need this? Like most of you I use Office365 at work, extensively, and there is a lot of good to be found if you are embedded in […]Thanks for reading and keeping RSS...
Just a quick update on my post titled 34 Draft Posts, can you guess what that update is? The thing is, I have 4 posts scheduled already, but a couple of those weren’t part of the original list of 34 Draft Posts, so coupled with some newer ideas the number has gone up. This is […]Thanks for reading and keeping RSS...
It started because I was noodling about with HTML and needed some ‘content’ (or ‘words on the page’ as I likely called it back then). Last year I marked 26 years of this blog by writing: It is odd to think of this blog through a different lens, I mean I know other people read […]Thanks for reading and keeping RSS...
A scattering of thoughts as I’m only here between breaks at work which is, frankly, manic right now. If you have thoughts, comments or suggestions on any of the above, please leave a comment or drop me an email!Thanks for reading and keeping RSS alive. Visit my site for more.
🤷♂️ Life 100 Days starts now (well on Monday last week). I’ve set myself a small challenge, small in terms of effort that is. I need to do some form of movement every day for 100 days. Weekends are fine as chasing my son around, cutting grass, etc all count, but each morning this week […]Thanks for reading and...
One of the first places that Becca took me and where our connection really started, was Mugdock Country Park; so it was nice to Jack there this morning. He’s been before but was both too young to remember it —only a few weeks old— and slept for the entire walk, strapped to my chest. He […]Thanks for reading and...
I can’t recall what made me stumble across this old article from the Guardian —possibly my own blogpost about helping out Zoe as I designed her website back in 2005— but it was nice to reminisce about those heady days. As well designing the website for myboyfriendisatwat Zoe (honourable mention in her sidebar), I...
Outside of work, which is always busy, there are is a myriad of little things to get done. Working at home makes this easier, for sure, but I have found that some days just end up being busier than others. Today is a good example. It’s pay day so I need to move some money […]Thanks for reading and keeping RSS alive....
I read a lot of blog posts in my RSS reader of choice —NetNewsWire— but for those I want to revisit I tend to open the post directly in Safari so I can go back to it later. Yes, I KNOW, there are a myriad of ‘read later’ apps available. The trouble is that some […]Thanks for reading and keeping RSS alive. Visit my...
