January 8, 2010
Reflections

I am in something of a philosophical mood today.  It’s been an up and down week largely due to the cold weather which I loathe, but three things have happened today which brought home to me how much small things matter and gave me the added bonus of inspiration. The first thing that happened was [...]

The Marketer’s Mantra

January 5, 2009
Reflections

It’s the first day ‘back at work’ today for lots of people, though many of us who inhabit the cyber world have been dipping in and out over the holiday period.  I have been quite heartened by the reduction in spam and rubbish that has landed in my Inbox over the last few days, but [...]

October 15, 2008
Reflections

Today is Blog Action Day – a day when all of us who blog are asked to concentrate on one topic and one topic only – Poverty. There are so many types of poverty that I could sit here and write a list that would go on forever.  Fond as I am of writing lists [...]

I Am Appalled

October 9, 2008
Reflections

Let me begin by saying that on a personal level, I don’t agree with online gambling.  However, that is a personal opinion and I don’t have the right to dictate to other people what they should think.

Reflections

Today has been a day of unremitting gloom on the economic front, with the demise of Lehman Bros and the trials of Merrill Lynch – added to the doom and gloom of the last few months, things look pretty grim.   I could go into a real full scale rant here about the stupidity of the [...]

ReflectionsSquidooTools

‘Free’ is a somewhat emotive word on the internet – we all seek the ‘free’ information that will give us the key to success, we look for the ‘free’ tools that make our job easier, we mutter when we discover that something that purports to be ‘free’ actually ends up costing us – even if [...]

Be aware that this post contains what my Gran would call ‘language’ and I have edited some of the emails quoted to protect the innocent (or should that be guilty) but the context and tone have not been changed in any way. A friend sent me an email today with the heading “…………dismal……”  It contained [...]

The Useful Useless

January 20, 2008
Reflections

This has been a funny old week. I have found myself ranting and raging about so many things that I came to the conclusion that it must be me! It’s no good you saying ‘What, you? No, surely not…’  I am honest enough with myself to know that when I get to this state [...]

I am sitting here at my desk on Christmas Eve – it’s round 5.30 p.m. here – writing this post to timestamp for sometime on the 27th. Then I will turn off my pc for a couple of days. I know none of my friends will believe I can actually not look at the machine [...]

I has a Sadness…

December 13, 2007
Reflections

First of all my apologies to my friend Glen for ‘borrowing’ his headline from another forum today but it expressed so perfectly the feelings I have that I could not better it.  I read this morning a post titled An Embuggerance by Terry Pratchett, a writer who has entertained and amused so many of us [...]
