If you’ve seen my previous post, you’ll know what this post is – a collection of links from the past week or so. Like I have mentioned before, it’s a new feature, it will develop…feel free to use my contact form to send me links that could be of interest! Anyway, here are this week’s links: (more…)

The eagle-eyes amongst you may have spotted a new feature hidden away in the top menu. I’ve actually been thinking about working away at this for a while, but haven’t had a chance to do anything about it. Thankfully, I had a slightly quieter week this week and was able to spend a couple of hours to implement a very rough version of my new recent links plugin. (more…)

At this point, you either think I’m crazy, or, in your head at least, you’re doing a wild dance imagining a panda holding up a bank. (more…)

People who know me well know I like a good challenge. Sometimes, I bite off a little more than I can chew. I don’t think I have on this occasion, but time will tell… (more…)

We are approaching half way through the year. You deserve an update on my New Year’s Resolutions. So, here goes: (more…)

Saturday night is the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010, and, ash permitting (it’s looking hopeful), I’ll be there, flag in hand, madly Tweeting away and running up an enormous mobile data bill in the most expensive country in Europe. Hard life, huh? (more…)

We have recently had a new content filter system installed on the servers at work. As with all things, you get a few problems early on. Some things are good, like being able to now read the BBC Blogs; other effects aren’t so good, like the system accidentally blocking the whole of the rest of the BBC site. Anyway, once those things are ironed out, it’s fine. (more…)

After the thrills and spills of Australia last weekend, it’s Malaysia – and Sepang – this weekend. Going in to the weekend, it seems hard not to pick the Red Bulls to be the pace setters, though many are wondering if they will manage to finish the race. Eyes will also be on Michael Schumacher as he looks to beat his team-mate at the third attempt, though Nico Rosberg, who has impressed so far this season, will have other ideas. (more…)
