Hello. My name’s Adam Maltpress and I think I like chick flicks. Sorry. Last night I kind of enjoyed Legally Blonde (but perhaps not for the reasons people normally enjoy chick flicks – Reese Witherspoon, hurrah). Tomorrow night I’m off to the cinema to see Pride & Prejudice (is that Jane Austen’s ampersand?) with a […]
I’ve got some confessions to make about my guilty pleasures. Please don’t laugh. The Spin Doctors. First band I ever saw live. Two Princes still rocks. Smallville. Been watching it on E4 lately. Clark, how could you not love Chloe? You’re mad, that’s how. Adverts. Not all of them – that damn Charmin advert isn’t […]
I’m watching the Guardian site with interest at the moment. I thought that, with the re-branding and re-launching of the newspaper, there would be radical – or at least some changes to the site. As far as I can see, the only change so far is that they have bullet points in some of the […]
Busy at work but I really had to blog this story – exceedingly interesting read. Guardian Unlimited – Digital dialogue on the web
MG midget front wing Originally uploaded by Maltpress. I’m very tired tonight, so I’m trying to keep work to a minimum. Feeling a little under the weather for some reason. I don’t have a huge amount to do except refining the service offering. I think I can do that now; I’ve had a day away […]
Tonight I’m writing an outline of my service offerings. My book says I need to develop my business idea, so I’m listening to the Goon Show on BBC7’s listen again and writing the details of the services I’ll be offering. Then I’ll test the ideas to destruction and re-work them. Oh, and I’m getting some […]
How newspapers dealt with the challenge of the internet is quite an interesting story. I’m planning to start producing weekly articles/opinion pieces, and perhaps this will be one of them in a few weeks’ time when I have my website (proper) set up. But in the mean time there’s an interesting article in today’s Grauniad […]
Erm… well, OK, not that busy. I had a bike ride and I cleaned my car, and I’m about to tidy my room and then go round Dad’s for tea. I just came on here to say hurrah – I’m now part of BritBlog, the directory of British blogs. Which is nice. May drive some […]
I just got an automated email from VerticalResponse, who I’ve used in the past to send HTML email bulletins. They’re a really good way of sending updates to people and – if you use them correctly – help reinforce brands, draw attention, and inform. I’m a bit dubious about using them too regularly, though – […]
Had another day when I’m really itching to get going. Patience is needed, I know, but I’m really keen to start using some of the ideas I have. The blog look and feel is getting there, and I’ll finish that tomorrow. I got the first two of my credit checks through – all clear, as […]
