I’m Back!

January 6, 2010

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I haven’t posted anything to my blog for a long time.  There are many reasons, none of which I am going to go into because it would take to long and rapidly become a plaintive self-justifying wail.  It’s just [...]

West Midlands MeetUp

February 21, 2009
Thumbnail image for West Midlands MeetUp

I’ve just got back from the West Midlands MeetUp in Evesham, tired but happy as they say.   It was a great afternoon and well worth the effort of organising it.
We were a select band with a widely differing range of experience, and all kinds of different skill sets but it made for a harmonious whole [...]

West Midlands Meetup

February 10, 2009

I’ve been threatening to do this for a while and have finally got it sorted!  For anyone who has been to one of the MeetUps held all over the globe, you will know how beneficial they are – and fun too. I have happy memories of the Manchester MeetUp that launched the Thirty Day Challenge [...]

From the Feeds 3 Jan 2009

January 5, 2009

This is a neat application – at first glance you may think ‘why?’ but it has lots of applications.  Most of us have digital cameras that will photograph documents when we are out and and about – this converts them to look like a scanned image.  In other words it takes out all the angles, [...]

Thank you America for having the courage to vote for change.

Every Little Helps…

November 1, 2008

Many of you will recall that earlier this year my daughter and I took part in the Moonwalk to raise funds for Cancer research.  For me it was a celebration of the fact that I am a survivor.  I was one of the very lucky ones, I was diagnosed and treated early and I got [...]

Small Things….

October 16, 2008

Small things make such a difference to our lives.  A while ago I made a promise to myself that I would write more, just for the sake of writing.  It’s something I enjoy and it feeds my soul.  Life gets in the way, and when time is short the promises we break are the ones [...]

Sadly Neglected….

August 23, 2008

My poor old blog has been sadly neglected of late… no excuses only pressure of work and this always seems to come bottom of the list.  Time for that to stop!
Just as an FYI, one of the things I have been busy with is setting up a website for my dearly beloved’s  woodturning business/hobby.  You [...]

The Video Age

June 30, 2008

Everyone tells me that video is the big thing, you have to do video. It fills me with fear – for a number of reasons.
It’s a technology I know absolutely nothing about – and my brain aches when I have to learn something new… but more important is that I don’t like having my [...]

After The Moonwalk – Life Returns

May 20, 2008

It’s over – after months of training and anticipation we have completed The Moonwalk. I have to say I had no idea it would take over my life to such an extent. The amount of time spent training for the event has been enormous, and has meant many other things, including my blog, [...]

Life Gets in the Way

March 31, 2008

I read an interesting post on one of my favourite blogs yesterday which just about summed up where I’ve been for the last couple of weeks.  Sometimes, don’t you find that life gets in the way of your life?  I’m fairly disciplined in my working habits.  You have to be when you have as many [...]

It’s true! How will the planet contain it’s excitement – you can now get flaminglacer’s mutterings direct to your mobile.
Anyone who is reading this post during the first few hours of it’s life will see a weird and wonderful code as part of the header, that is the verification code. (Now removed)  Once [...]

Tools and Recommendations

February 20, 2008

Just a very quick and very short post about a new page on the blog.  I am often asked what tools and scripts I find most useful and which I would recommend.  In the interests of not continuously banging on about the same things once I have mentioned something I find good and use a [...]

Catching Up

February 12, 2008

It seems an age since I posted anything on my blog – I have felt quite deprived. However a combination of a stinking head cold, acute sinusitis and a vast amount of work have kept me away – but in the immortal words of whoever it was ‘I’m back’.
So what’s been going on in [...]

Do Your Homework

January 22, 2008

I made a comment to a colleague that I spend hours, even days, on keyword research until I am happy I have the best information I can distil from the process before I so much as put finger to keyboard to build a site. He couldn’t believe that I would spend so much time [...]
