Blogging Two blog posts here in the last fortnight – one classic album review and some advice for recruitment agents. There was a rant about magazines publishing bad code over on my Perl blog too. Not a hugely productive two weeks – but there have been worse. I have a few ideas for posts (and… Continue reading Week Notes 37 & 38

Blogging Another week with just a classic album post. I thought I was starting to get into blogging again, but that seems to have been a short blip. On the other hand, I’ve relaunched the Alternative Freak site. People who have been reading my blog for several years might remember this from 2006/7. It’s a… Continue reading Week Notes 36

Blogging Nothing apart from a couple of classic album posts. But I was on holiday for some of the time, so that’s my excuse. Health I took a week off from running. Just couldn’t motivate myself to get out of the house that early in the morning. And then I went to Berlin for three… Continue reading Week Notes 34 & 35

Blogging Two posts here this week – a “classic” album review and a rant about recorded delivery – and one over on Perl Hacks. Things are definitely looking up. Health It seemed that my weight loss had pretty much stalled for a couple of weeks. For far too long I hovered just above the 14… Continue reading Week Notes 33

Blogging Four blog posts this week. One of the best weeks this year. There was the weekly “classic album” post (reaffirming my suspicion that I don’t like reggae), two on the BBC’s lack of coverage of the Curiosity rover and one on the gullibility of people who share things on Facebook and Twitter without checking… Continue reading Week Notes 32

Blogging Only one blog post last week, and that was my self-enforced “classic albums” post. I have a few ideas for posts this week though – and I might well have a bit more time to get them written. Health The fitness regime is going well. I’ve been running five times since this time last… Continue reading Week Notes 31

Blogging Two blog posts in two weeks. I’m still not doing very well here. Health I’m still losing weight slowly and surely. A week or so ago I reached the lightest weight I’ve been since I’ve really been concerned about it. And that was in 2005 after several months of quite debilitating illness. Yesterday’s blog… Continue reading Week Notes 29 and 30

Blogging Two blog posts in one week! One celebrating the tenth anniversary of this blog and one about how Bose keep giving me free stuff. Health My running shoes arrived during the week and after a few days of prevarication I went on my first run this morning. I’m following a pretty conservative program aimed… Continue reading Week Notes 28

Week 26. Must be halfway through the year. I know I said that last time – but I miscounted. I’ve corrected that. Blogging A couple of posts in the last couple of weeks. One about licensing photos (something that I worry about periodically) and one pondering when the new series of Doctor Who might be… Continue reading Week Notes 26 & 27

Blogging One blog post this week. I got angry about the ridiculous way that politicians refuse to have an intelligent discussion about drug policy. Training and Speaking Still trying to plug Perl School. It’s amazing how much difference a fee (even a small one like £30) makes. I’ve started to plan next years courses. Looks… Continue reading Week Notes 25
