Router’s End
My faithful router died today. It had been making some faint, high-pitched sounds for the last couple of days and I’d begun to wonder if it was becoming a potential fire hazard. So, before leaving for work this morning I unplugged it, just to be on the safe side. I hadn’t actually considered that it [...]
Soon, the return of The Weekend (I hope)
Finally nearing completion of the book I’ve been illustrating for the last few (oh too many) months. Pics are all done, though I’ll never be happy with them, and text layout/design is almost completed. It’s been an ‘after-hours’ project, so that basically means I’ve had little resembling a weekend since I started it. I feel [...]

Wow. It took ten years and 300 million dollars for James Cameron to actually manage to make a movie worse than Titanic. Impressive.
Dear RSS
RSS, you don’t love me anymore, do you? Somehow, I don’t think you ever did. I’ve recently come to realise that our relationship has been nothing but a sham. You entice me with promises of time being saved, of having the newest information from the sites I’m interested in right at my fingertips, of never [...]
The Great Escape
Goody. Now maybe I can get around to doing something on this site other than, um, talking about this site… much like I’m doing now. I have finally escaped the clutches of the dodgy registrar I used (for reasons that still completely escape me – lets just go with ‘incompetence’ shall we) to register my [...]
Duh

Grrrr
Finding motivation in things that suck
Bow and Wow’s First Bath
It had to be done. They stunk with an aroma that could only be described as… unholy. There was some reluctance; they didn’t come when I called. They fought back when they saw the water (Wow was a little more aggressive than Bow), but eventually victory was mine. I might be wrong, but I think [...]
And the geek goes on
I’ve discovered widgets! Yeah okay, they weren’t lost blah blah blah. I don’t know if it’s the new dashboard in WordPress, or if I just never looked before, but I can see this becoming a geek-addiction. I’d previously not been using them, and just couldn’t be bothered to try and figure them out, but I [...]
9 to 5 from now on
For better or worse, the cancellation notice for my Yellow Pages ad arrived today. You know, phone book (remember those). The final sign that I am no longer in business working for myself, I guess. Total lack of clients for the past several months, due to not actually seeking any freelance work, due to having [...]
