I’ve discovered the good thing about working from home is the ability to walk down to the shops rather than having to wait until the evening to drive to the supermarket. It only takes five minutes, it’s free, it’s non-polluting and – best of all – it gets me out of the house. Plus I’m […]

I’ve been reading a lot of articles online recently about MySpace. Opinions are divided – it’s either the best thing to happen to the web, bringing people together in new ways, or it’s the worst thing ever, encouraging grooming, phishing, stalking and – probably provoking most horror – bad design. So I decided to get […]

So… tomorrow is my last day in the office and from that point on I’m alone and need to find business. I think I’m about ready; bank is sorted, website is sorted, contacts are sorted (although I need more), business cards have arrived, I’ve had training on legal things today (which made my brain hurt […]

I love my Mac. Using it, and reading about BlackBerry’s new consumer handset, has got me thinking about the differences between business and consumer electronics, the closing gap between the two, and the interesting consequences for the way we use them.

Being 28 feels no different to being 27, really. Not that I thought it would do. The beer-belly my brother promised would arrive at 25 still hasn’t materialised, but then again I don’t drink beer, and I do lots of running about waving swords, which I think holds it at bay. That and living on […]

Well… mostly finished. I need to have a rest from it for a bit before I do final testing and see if there’s anything which needs re-doing, typos which need correcting, abd so-on. I’ve also got to do the header images on the home page because I messed up the reds when converting to gifs […]

So… I’m nearly 28. A mere week away, in fact. I’m loving it. Getting older, so far, rocks. I’m working pretty hard (in fact, I’ve worn myself out so I’m about to go to bed, now I’ve sorted the navigation on my site in Safari – seems to be working well in everything but Firefox […]

I’ve not been in the office today – first day of working part time, and it’s really odd. I feel kind of guilty for not doing work. I went to Ikea with dad and I’m now sitting in a surprisingly comfy swivel chair thingy which only set me back £14. Bargain. In all, I only […]

There’s a new banner I just made. I’m having fun with The Gimp and – I admit – probably overdoing the reflections and drop shadows. Oh well – I’m enjoying it. 🙂

Maltpress.co.uk is coming along nicely, and there’s going to be more to see as soon as the server’s up and running. In the mean time, have a load of this… i made it tonight with a little bit of Gimping and some patience. And quite a bit of fun.
