I think that having used WordPress for over four years now, I have got to the point where I take it for granted that it is “easy” to use. Having had a few clients recently that asked about the admin panels, I realised that not everyone thinks the same way, and some people new to [...]

There’s some good news today for those of us who actually use online payment mechanisms. Paypal is going to be cracking down on older browsers and preventing them from using their system. About time I say!

I have been toying recently with the idea of moving over my broadband package, namely to using BT broadband.
What has happened that I consider this drastic move? Well many months ago, my current provider who shall remain unnamed (it’s an italian sounding name) called me up, said I could get 8Mb with unlimited download and [...]

It’s unbelievable that it has come around so quickly!
I wish everyone who comes by here, a very Happy New Year! Here’s hoping that 2007 is more prosperous and happy for everyone (who wouldn’t want that?).

To one and all - Happy Christmas!
It doesn’t look like it though, just like another dreary November day, a little grey, not freezing mind you. No wind either, and it was a bit foggy this morning.

Anyway I called the Doctor’s this morning thinking that three days with a sore throat and no end [...]

Working for a sign company you get to work on quite a diverse lot of signs and advertising. Some of it is straightforward, sometimes it’s purely informational signs, do this - don’t do that etc., We don’t see cutting edge (or risky) advertising signage and I think that’s a great shame, making you look and [...]

Seen global warming in action yet?
I have - my next door neighbour’s flowers are STILL flowering. Last week when I pruned the rose bush back over my front door, it STILL had roses budding and flowering on it! Talk about strange eh? The weather really is acting odd lately. It’s been such a warm autumn [...]

For work we have this thing every year where everyone buys a Christmas gift for around £5. They buy it for the same sex, and then we pick out of a hat who it goes to, so it’s totally random. I’m having a bit of a crisis because I cannot for the life of me [...]
