So over the weekend, 28th August, my ventures in the world of blogging turned 1 year old and it’s certainly been an interesting year.
On the 28th August I opened my blogger account and started with this post. It was a humble beginning and only really happened because I was bored. After coming across [...]
It’s been a bit of a gap in blogging of late, so I must first apologise for that. One thing that I want to stress is that this is my blog and so I don’t really stick to a pattern of blogging, I just tend to do it when I have something to say [...]
I’ve been thinking lately that my clothes are getting tired looking. It’s one of those things that has happened as I have been at uni. I just seem to wear the same clothes over and over. Back when I was in school and at college I used to sop regularly, I would [...]
Recently around the internet, well really the blogs I read, I have been seeing a lot of people talk about these little sketchbooks/notepads, whatever you want to call them. It’s kind of inspired me a little bit.
In September I will be entering into the final year of my degree and it’s kind of triggered [...]
Today saw the release of the first England Squad under new manager Steve McLaren. I have only one thing to say about it. I’m very pleased with it. McLaren has dropped Beckham in favour of younger more effective players. Beckham did well for us in the past, but at the last [...]
I saw there was a release of K2 today, version 0.9, so uploaded it to see what it was like. It seemed just break my blog so I have returned to the older version I was using before. I am hoping the Ben will be able to code my site into the new [...]
So the Keynote of the WWDC ‘06 has been and gone and we got the little sneak peak of Leopard. I suspect rather a lot of the major features were kept secret and hidden. I’m not gonna go on about it all, except to say I can’t wait for Leopard and I wish [...]
Why is it that Mac OS X looks so good with predominantly blue wallpapers??
It’s something I have noticed alot recently. My last wallpaper was predominantly blue, the default is Blue(Aqua) and me next wallpaper is blue(yes I know which one I am going to use next, yes it’s a little bit sad!). It’s [...]
So soon, well probably after WWDC ‘06, I will be buying an iMac to replace my iBook as my primary computer. I’m a bit stuck. Before the BT Mighty Mouse was released I was going to buy the Logitech keyboard and mouse for Mac. I was going for this option as I [...]
As usual on a Sunday I sat and watched the Grand Prix. I’m one of those fans of it that will sit and watch the race no matter how interesting it is, I alsways find some enjoyment out of it. Todays race was a bit of a cracker. It had everything right [...]
Ben at Open Switch currently has an interesting article based around some blogging guidelines. I have to say I like some of them and do work by them myself. The main one being, I only post when I find something that interests me or that I feel I need/want to say. [...]
It’s always nice to feel inspired. It gives you energy, motivation and joy.
Knowing you’ve inspired someone else. Well that too gives you strength, energy, joy, a belief in your abilities and a hope. Be it just to redesign a website, knowing you inspired someone gives you that hope. A hope that [...]
It’s one of the most important aspects of being a Christian. It’s that conversation with your Maker, your Saviour. It’s one of the most intimate things. It’s the time you bare yourself to God, where you come before him, talk and listen.
On your own it is incredibly powerful and intimate. As [...]
