Yeah. Not one of Prince’s better efforts, that particular song. Or that entire album, the truth be told. He badly needs a producer willing to tell him “No”. Not that I think he’s likely to value my opinion much. Still, if I don’t say it… What with it being Wednesday, it’s time for my regular […]
Ooh.. something new to promote, featuring a rich trove of my own dutifully handwritten content!* The new thing in this case is MacTheMag issue one, the brainchild of the exceedingly brainy Matthew Powell (seriously — don’t argue with this man about anything trivial except professional wrestling. It’s his one hidden trivia weakness. Otherwise, an impeccable

We currently get our fruit and vegetables through a co-operative arrangement with a company called Harvest Hub. Incredibly good value for very fresh veggies and fruit, and I’m now stunned when I go through the average supermarket at the vaguely slimy stuff that gets passed off as “fresh”. Anyway, the one minor drawback with outsourcing

Mmm.. bacon. What a bizarre week, filled with unwell children, unco-operative chicken coops and difficult questions. And, naturally enough, yet more work published online. PC Authority covered off my thoughts on scoring cheaper iPhone apps: Amazing Apps for your Phone: Here’s how to get cheap iPhone apps: “Pricing varies — and there is a lot

So, a new sparkly look for the ol’ blog. I spent hours on Sunday mucking around with various themes and bits of style sheet hackery, most of which plain didn’t work. Then found this theme, which I mostly like. Still need to get something to replace the default clouds, though. I’ve also been busy writing

Wow. Quite a busy week. Exceptionally so, but this is a good thing, with many projects lining up nicely in my sights. Makes a nice change, actually. While I’m trying to slow down for the weekend (they have these things called weekends now. You totally should try them. They’d look good on you.), you can

On the plus side of bad back pain: More time to watch old episodes of Futurama. I’m trying to be positive, you see. Actually, things are slowly looking up, and I’m slowly getting back into work, which is good. Somebody’s got to earn a living, and the children keep complaining about “needing to eat” and
Ah, such a happy lyric. Not entirely indicative of my mood at the moment, which is all busy, busy, busy and busy. It wouldn’t be a blog update without me droning on endlessly about my latest piece of work, which today comes courtesy of the fine folk at GadgetGuy.com.au: Macbook Pro 13″ : “If you’ve

I came up a theory this morning about my continued use of “Um” as an interjection to allow my brain to catch up when I’m talking. It’s been suggested to me that talking too fast is something of a Kidman trait, and that’s probably true, but as I get older, my brain’s getting slower, which

It’s been a bit quiet around this blog for a little while — a necessary side-effect while I take on board some rather drastic changes to the way I work, who I work for and what I do. Interesting times, and all that. In the meantime, though, it hasn’t stopped already written material appearing, both
