Microsoft, so inconsiderate!

Has anyone else noticed that if you try and sign out of hotmail in anything other than IE it never does it!! It always tells me “we were unable to sign you out of your account properly, please try again.” So I do and it never works. Now it could be because [...]


Brilliant.

I just came across this, its absolutely brilliant and so true!!


A catch up!

First of all, apologies for the lack of posts in the last couple of weeks. It’s been a mixture of lack of time and me not feeling like writing. I will also apologise now as this post is going to be a bit of a mish-mash of bits and bobs of information.
My time [...]


Royal Mail.

I just read this over at If.else (which by the way is a very good looking blog). It’s a bit of bumma really, what are the likes of Coca Cola and Vodafone going to do now??


Weekends.

I went upto to Sheffield for the weekend as it was Emma’s birthday party. Emma is a friend of Ruth’s from home so its a bit odd, but it was cool. Had quite a good time. We drove (well I drove and Ruth sat in the passenger seat) up on the Friday [...]


The Zoo.

Ok, so today was our first random day trip. It was good, I really enjoyed myself. We had a really good day. It started off stupidly early at my house, but was soon made better with a McDonalds breakfast (not healthy I know, but we felt it was a good idea to [...]


Fraud.

I just read this post on fraud. Very interesting and very important. Thought I would bring mention of it to the few who read my blog.


A catch up.

It’s been a while so I thought I would update you on the site. I have begun uploading images to my portfolio so keep your eye on it as it grows. The design of my blog seems to be settling down now. I like the way its appearing at the moment and [...]


My Blog.

I have started I kinda mass design on my blog. I did a little brainstorming of ideas involving some thumbnail sketches and have now moved on to photoshop so I can move things around. Currently playing with some screen grabs for positioning. I quite like what I have.


Interesting.

I just read this post over at Broken Kode, which has a brilliant design. I thought it was quite an interesting read, part of me wants to make a comment on it, but then I don’t really know what to say. Just thought I would point it out to you.


Default.

I have gone back to the default K2 theme for the time being. I really can’t settle on a design so it will stay on this until I have at least got more of an idea of what I want it to look like.


My Blog.

I have found a design which I like. My blog is currently sporting a style designed by Dan cameron which I think I am going to use as a basis for my own design. I like its layout but the colour scheme is leaving a little to be desired at the moment. [...]


Internet Explorer.

I discovered today that this current design doesn’t work in IE (there’s a surprise!). I will try and fix this, although at the moment I’m not that keen on the current design. At some point in the next few days I will sit down and design my blog properly so its appearance will [...]
