Well, I’ve not really been one for memes, but it’s been a while since the last one and this one looks like fun. As you probably guessed from the title I have to post my top 10 movies.
First the rules. 1. List your top ten favorite films (in no particular order). 2. If [...]
Congratulations Forest!
It was a dramatic afternoon but thanks to Cheltenham beating Doncaster my team Nottingham Forest are promoted to the 2nd tier of English football!
Yesterday I encountered something at the bank which made me really think about the way some services are provided. More specifically it’s made me think about how technology is being introduced and taking the place of humans.
As I’m sure many of you know, I like technology. It fascinates me and I believe used [...]
When I first started writing this post, it was about RSS and how I’ve been taking stock of the websites I subscribe to and culling the ones that didn’t meet my objective of quality content. It turned into a post that documented my thoughts on what quality content is. Either way it was [...]
As previously mentioned I am testing Tumblr out and to be honest I’m quite liking it. I’m trying something out whereby I will be using Tumblr as my links/images list and Electric Weekend as the main articles place, in a similar vein to Cameron I/O and Ordered List. Before I make the jump [...]
There seems to be quite a bit of this going around at the moment. I myself feel a little bit caught in one for many reasons, and a couple of other people also seem to be in similar situations.
So why this conflict? Well my personal conflict seems to be developing from a couple [...]
Ben over at Openswitch started a little challenge for him self a few days ago, to blog about 100 new blogs in 100 days. Well today he chose me! Yup, Electric Weekend got featured! Thanks Ben!!!
Over the last few days I’ve been seeing a flickr group called The Items We Carry. I’ve finally contributed my own photo to the group, so you can see what I carry with me, pretty much all the time.
I find this kind of thing fascinating. It really interests me what people carry [...]
While I’ve been thinking about stuff to write for this place I was thinking about what I like to do concerning the internet. The thing I most like to do is find new websites/blogs etc. It fascinates me what is out there and how they look etc. So I thought it might [...]
I’m calling this version 5.0 of Electric Weekend even though I’ve been through a few different sets of clothes in the past. Although it is not a theme I have coded entirely myself, but a modified version of Depo Clean, I’m still really pleased with it. I’ve altered added and changed a fair [...]
To those few people who still use my Feedburner RSS feed, I’m going to be deleting my account at the weekend. To get the RSS feed for my site use this address: http://phil.electricweekend.com/feed
Shawn Blanc, of The Fight Spot fame, is 26 today. To celebrate he is launching a personal blog at shawnblanc.net. I think it’s a great idea and suggest you go and subscribe and find out what he’s going to be jibbering about over there. Shawn’s a great bloke and a very interesting [...]
I got hacked again, so I finally up-graded to Wordpress 2.2 in the hope that it will stop this happening a third time. As a result I’ve also had to update the sites look. I know there is a K2 that works with the newer version of Wordpress but I decided to look [...]
I just discovered my contact form was not setup properly. Somehow I managed to overlook that completely. Apologies if anyone has used it and felt narked I didn’t reply, it’s now operational and can be found on the About page.
Ok, so now’s your chance, to tell me what you would like to see here on Electric Weekend. What I can do to improve the site, as well as encourage more conversation and participation in the comments. So this is effectively an open thread.
What would you like to see here at Electric Weekend?
No this isn’t what it looks like, I’m not quitting Birdfeeder I just wanted to fill you in on the switch. It’s gone very smoothly, there are still a few people using the FeedBurner feed but they hav e a little while to switch. The up shot of all this is that apparantly [...]
Ok, I’ve now got the Mint BirdFeeder pepper working. After todays little hiccough with Feedburner reporting zero subscribers, I decided it was time to utilise Mint’s functionality for this. I’ve upgraded to Wordpress 2.1.1 so that it will work. If you could not all change your feed readers so they point at [...]
I’ve just made a few changes I wanted to bing your attention to. The main one being the links page I have just added. As a result I had to tweak the navigation, I’m not sure I like it like that, but I couldn’t think of much else to do with it. [...]
