Somehow, I’ve knitted the above into a single story for APCMag.com today. Truly, my wordsmithing powers* know no bounds. Especially when the story itself is about security software: Norton 360 to support iPad, Android: “Latest version of 360 “supports” iPad, iPhone and Android. Sort of…” *And, clearly my humility
These are a few of my favourite thiiiiiings! Except that, with some minor exclusions, they’re not. What a week it’s been. One flooded office. One wife in and out of hospital. One office cleared and stuffed into every spare nook around the place to compensate. Carpet destroyed. Carpet ripped up. Office re-painted. Insurance companies screamed …
Another frantically busy day wraps up, although nothing that quite matches yesterday’s 400-words-per-hour effort. Sure, that doesn’t sound that impressive in and of itself — but consider that in the context of being the average number of words I wrote yesterday over a fifteen hour span. I hate work days like that. Strangely, you won’t …
The joint was jumpin' and the place began to swing… Read More »
Ah, Yakko. Wise beyond your years. It’s been a weird and highly frustrating week, spent largely (and fruitlessly) trying to set down a path in my front garden, stymied at every turn by the half-truths and evasions of a certain tiling company that failed to deliver on their promises. Oh, and writing work. I sometimes …
It's time to tour the planets that make up our solar system. C'mon! Read More »
As anyone looking inside my office could see right now. Yes, I do still have an office, and I do still write things for money. News things, like this piece at PC Authority: iiNet to offer Xbox downloads quota free: “Large demos no longer a quota problem. While online gaming will eat up a small …
Yeah, I do think that marks the strangest subject line I’ve ever had. I’ll blame my Vinyl-transferring ways. Although that subject line, now that I think about it, might make my father happy. Or possibly appalled. Meanwhile, and in absolutely no context whatsoever, at APCMag.com: Oops… AVG accidentally kills Windows: “Update to popular AV tool …

What a daft lyric. I mean, it’s all very inspiring and all, and I’m sure given the Proclaimers’ generally energetic walking style that it’s highly aerobic to boot… but then the 1,000 mile trek just to fall over? She’s going to take one look at the sweaty, unconscious mess in front of her, and then …
But I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more… Read More »
As apparently my eyebrows were “Too antennae-like”. So, in the name of getting a nice headshot done, I had the world’s tiniest haircut on my eyebrows only. Who said my life wasn’t sometimes surreal? At the same time, quality Alex writing is available for your enjoyment in print and online. Just yesterday I was trying …
I had the world's quickest and strangest haircut yesterday… Read More »
Another day, another news story, this time at APCMag.com: Grand Theft Google: drive the world’s cities: “Ever wanted to hoon around the world’s major cities without getting a ticket? Thanks to a new driving simulator and Google Maps, you can do exactly that.”
At least, I think that’s what the expression on this cat means. I have no lack of cat photos at the moment, something I have to attribute to my father-in-law (but that’s another story in itself). Speaking of another story, I have another news story live today, this time at APCMag.com: Microsoft goes into Speed …
