I’m trying very, very hard not to say rude words. Bad car things: Metro has failed MOT and is costing me a bomb to have fixed. Bottoms! Midget needs new points and the only way they could be harder to get to would be to put them in another country. Flip! Tax is due on […]

Sparkly things, eh? They’re so ace. This is what the future should be like – floaty displays and thinks you can control by waving your hands about, like the Nintendo Wii (ha ha ha). Just thought I’d post that in a short break from writing a business plan and doing cash flow forecasts…

So, my brother and dad are signed up for this. Dad’s going to take my cards from me (with strict instructions not to buy things off the internet with it) and my brother’s joining in. I’ve been trying to work out strategies. Here are some of the ideas, in no particular order… Only “done a […]

In my quest to not owe money any more and – of course – to fight the evil of capitalism and other higher aims (actually, just to get out of debt – it’s purely selfish) I am declaring June to be “live like a monk month”. At the start of the month I’m taking a […]

For shiny things. I keep trying to justify getting one. There’s utterly no way – while the business is going to need a laptop of some description, being realistic a Windows box would be more convenient all round and a lot more affordable. If someone at the bank said “why a mac?” I doubt “because […]

No, that’s not how I feel – far from it, in fact – it’s Adobe’s new AJAX framework. Basically a JavaScript library for building AJAX pages, it’s a good preview and intro to AJAX, which is something I’ve not used but have seen being put to work on some excellent web apps. Flickr’s a prime […]

I’ve sadly had to reach the realisation that the Midget has to go. I can’t afford to keep it – not only am I insuring it, paying running costs, and renting a garage from the council at over £40 a month, but the money I could get from selling it would pay off my credit […]

I rock. Originally uploaded by Maltpress. I made this. Cheesehelmet Nosebleed are… well, a phenomenon. I’m not sure what to do with them. It’s like a one-man flash mob but without the mob and certainly without the flash part of it. Something like an art “happening” but comedy instead of art and it’s not really […]

Hurrah! Maltpress.co.uk is back up and running. My images are back on this blog, and it’s running smoothly again. All is good with the world. More updates soon.

Bonk seems to be my favourite word at the moment and I’m not sure why. Not in the naughtiness sense of the word, just as a word… it just makes me laugh. I’m going through something of a childish phase at the moment. So I thought I’d tell a story of terrible physical injury today. […]
