My email – and the form on this site, which sends to my email address – are currently down, and if you try them it’ll bounce back. This is due to what’s known as a “joe jobbing” attack – a spam-bot, somewhere, has started sending out thousands of emails spoofing addresses from my domain. Lots […]

Well, apologies if service isn’t exactly normal at the moment (whatever that is). I’m between houses for various reasons, and it’s been pretty hard work with computer at one house and the internet at another. Invariably the stuff I need is never on the laptop when I need it, so there’s lots of driving back […]

Just a quick post to let you know I’ve moved house. Once our internet connection is up and running again (early next week) I’ll be able to get the address on my website updated. In the mean time, my postal address is: Adam Maltpress69 High StreetStrethamCambsCB6 3LD

Some nice news – a couple of sites I’ve been working on have launched, so I can update my portfolio a little. First up is the Strathclyde Pension Fund Office, www.spfo.org.uk – I wrote the content for this site back in February. Reading Room, from Manchester, did all the technical stuff and got the content […]

New site designs have started, which is very nice. It should look good – at least to non-designer me. More content keeps cropping up, too, and I’ll be moving these posts over to the new site when I can, but here’s today’s “gnnnh!” moment… Questions, which should not be asked. Gnnnh! I think there should […]

I’m thinking of starting a new project to publicise my writing – get a bit of a face and name on the internet for my writing. It’s going to involve examples of good and bad web copy – of which there are plenty. I’ve just stumbled on this little gem, about how membership of an […]

It’s been pretty busy here – mostly trying to get new business. This week in particular has been extremely hectic, and it’s only starting to slow down a little as I wait for other people to get back to me with things. It’s a shame the bank balance doesn’t reflect the amount of work I’ve […]

That’s right – from an invoicing and tax point of view (which I suppose is good enough) I’ve been running now for six whole months. It’s still scary and exciting – which is why I started, I suppose – and I still love it. In that time I’ve driven many hundreds of miles; typed many […]

Yes, car woe once again. I was actually physically stranded as I started to write this – stuck in a (very nice) office owned by some very nice friends and colleagues who do excellent work and who let me sob there quietly while I awaited rescue. My clutch has gone. Where, I’m not sure, but […]

I’m very aware that this blog is slowly becoming me whinging about how ill or in pain I’m in, but I think that’s probably something to do with me getting older. Not old (yet), but certainly older. Anyway, my back and shoulders are utterly messed up at the moment and no amount of ibuprofen seems […]
