1 + 1 = 3

No updates to this blog in a while I’m afraid, things have just been far too busy to have had anything interesting (read geeky) to write about. That said, I am indulging and making this post purely to show off. On Monday 25th May at 8:37am, after a rather long day/night, Mel and I welcomed Spencer Bailey Stewart […]

Election season

So it seems that there’s quite the election ‘fever’ (yay sportsfans!) going around at the moment. Obviously the US election has had the bulk of the limelight and I have to admit to having followed it far too closely since late last year (Along with my election buddy, Soporific Frog. Thanks for the memories). Somewhat less grand (yet […]

Ambition

a whinge

I know I don’t use this blog much but, well, its week 13 and I WANT TO WHINGE! I’m sick to death of crappy software that doesn’t do what it claims to do! Software that just does not make any logical sense! This is promising software, it just hasn’t been thought out all the way through. I think […]

A new beginning

So many people claim to have new beginnings so I’d like to make it very clear from the start that this is nothing more than a pseudo beginning. There’s really nothing new about it. I bought a new home in the real world, I bought a new home in the online world. I’m just moving into this one […]
