No. No I didn’t. I’ll be more or less working through the festive season, with only a couple of significant days off. Such is the life of a busy freelancer. Sure beats being an unemployed freelancer, though. The subject line’s original song is brought up in one of my articles currently live, though, at MacTheBlog: […]

Thankfully, while the thin white duke is pretty famous, I’m not. Or at least not to the best of my knowledge. If there’s any paparazzi out there stalking me, they’re doing a very stealthy job of it. There’s a lot of my work out there that I haven’t particularly plugged as yet. I’m blaming the

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

Back in Prince lyrics territory today. Clearly, today’s all about being in comfortable territory for me. Either that, or I’m very tired, and need something with a hard funk edge to keep me motivated. It’s probably more comfortable territory than anything else, however. And with more than a decade’s experience writing reviews under my belt,

Thankfully, no signs of growing up are evident in the test subject. Despite his best intentions, however, signs of writing have been emerging over the past few days. Firstly, there’s the December issue of Australian Netguide Magazine. Within its festively coloured pages, you’ll find more reviews than there are bits of tinsel adorning shops right

A nose to the grindstone kind of day, although I’m thankful to be working at all. 24 hour bugs really, really suck. First of all, let’s take a trip online, to CNET.com.au: Canon HF11: “It might not fit every hand, but the results it provides are excellent whether you’re a manual fiddler or just want

Amazingly, that’s only the second-worst lyric to come out of Daryl Hall’s brain that I can think of. Although it’s attached to a much worse tune than the first choice. Ripping Vinyl remains weird, and it’s doing truly strange things to my subject lines. If I’d written this up half an hour ago, the subject

A 2007 Internet Meme and a song lyric, all in one. Neat. Albeit a touch dated… Also neat is catching up on my published work, especially at CNET.com.au, where there’s been a practical tsunami of Alex work. Observe at your leisure: Microsoft Explorer Mini Mouse: “We even experimentally ran it over the base of a

Curse this song lyrics as subject lines policy! A couple of reviews to keep you happy (or hopefully keep me fed) at CNET.com.au: Fujitsu LifeBook T1010: “The Fujitsu T1010 has tablet features and a somewhat striking price point, but the rest of the package feels a bit lifeless.” HP Pavilion dv7-1005tx: “While everyone scrambles for

Because, well, it’s this. Quite randomly from an 80’s streaming radio service, but there it is, and the rules* say I have to use the music I’m listening to at the time as my subject line. And I can’t be part of that Meme. I also seemingly can’t keep up with myself when it comes
