Yep, new iPods out now, so as a blogger I’m legally obliged to write about them. There’s going to be lots of debate about the iTouch (the stripped-down iPhone) and costs – but, being shallow, I’m going to skip over that and just drool a lot. God, it looks incredible. What an interface! I’d like […]
It’s nearly September, and September is Tacheback time. Tacheback runs every year and basically involves being sponsored vast (well, some) sums of money to grow a moustache. The money raised goes towards male cancer charities and you can find out more here:http://www.tacheback.com/ I’m doing it for the third year now and hoping to achieve something […]
Following yesterday’s post – and today’s comment suggesting a Wiki – I’ve got a bit of a follow-up. I’ve installed a local version of WordPress, which is running very nicely and will do some of what I want. Coffeelover’s comment, however, suggested a personal Wiki, and this is also something worth thinking about – and […]
I’m still learning loads about working for myself – and what’s involved in each project. It’s been suggested that I keep a diary of my projects – writing notes on each one and what’s involved, what I’ve learnt, how I feel about them etc. I was all for doing this in a hard-backed A4 notebook […]
So – I’ve been reading the Motley Fool, looking at my bank balance and thinking about finances – again. A scare with the car (which turned out to be nothing, thankfully) brought it home to me that at the end of quite a quiet period I’ve not really got enough put aside at the moment […]
OK – for the time being, email is back up, with most of the bounce-backs being automatically deleted. A few are slipping through the net but for the most part things are running. Over the weekend things may be lost, however, so please copy [email protected] into vital emails just to make sure it gets through. […]
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 […]
