Just a quick post to warn of any funkiness over the coming weeks(s). Ben of Open Switch fame is coding up my redesign of this site. I don’t really know much of what this entails, but I imagine you may experience some sneak previews of the design. Keeps your eyes peeled.
Well it’s been a bit quiet around here of late. Largely because I haven’t really had a lot to talk about, well I mean not had stuff I wanted to put on here. It’s difficult. Sometimes I find myself wanting to write about things, but I don’t want to write about personal [...]
I have recently started using a handy little (well big) application called Quicksilver. Essentially its a launcher for applications, but it can do alot more than that. In only a matter of a couple of weeks, its become second nature to invoke Quicksilver and then type a letter or two in order to [...]

Zooomr is a photo sharing service similar to flickr. It’s currently in a beta stage of development so I have decided to give it a bit of a try. It also comes with the added incentive that if I blog about it and use my photos in my blog then I will be [...]

Having got to the end of my 2nd year at uni I now find myself at home for the summer. Its been an interesting last term and even more interesting being back home. The transition from being at uni to being at home is quite strange. Obviously its nice to see parents and friends, but [...]
