Another fortnightly week notes. That really wasn’t how this was supposed to work. Only one other blog post in that time too. I’m a lazy blogger. Health With my leg feeling much better, I’ve started to concentrate on losing weight. About a week ago I bought a Fitbit. It’s a bit like a pedometer, but… Continue reading Week Notes 15 & 16
Android Applications
For the last two years I’ve been using an HTC Desire. In the last few days I’ve upgraded to an HTC One X. Whilst I liked the Desire a lot, one thing that really let it down – the lack of space to install apps. I spent most of the last year with the “short… Continue reading Android Applications
Week Notes 14
Blogging Just one blog post this week. Everyone was talking about Samantha Brick, so why shouldn’t I? Health Halfway through the week I noticed that my ankle was no longer affecting the way I move at all. It still aches a bit at times, but I seem to have lost my limp. All of which… Continue reading Week Notes 14
Thick As A Brick
But your new shoes are worn at the heels and Your suntan does rapidly peel and Your wise men don’t know how it feels to be thick as a brick. [Jethro Tull – Thick as a Brick] Yesterday was a fun day on the internet. It was one of those days where a Daily Mail… Continue reading Thick As A Brick
Week Notes 13
Week 13 must mean we’re a quarter of the way through the year. Tempus fugit and all that. Blogging Two blog posts here this week. The first invited people to the third Mediawatchery Blogging Meet-Up Thingy which will take place in Reading on May 12th. The second was a bit of a rant about how… Continue reading Week Notes 13
Internet Security Rule One
Internet security rule one is “do not share your password with anyone”. There should be no exceptions to this rule. If anyone asks you to share your password with them, your answer should always be no. Sometimes people say “oh well, it’s only a password for [some unimportant web site] – what harm could it… Continue reading Internet Security Rule One
Mediawatchery Blogging Meet-Up Thingy 3
We’ve done it twice before and they just can’t stop us. So we’re going to do it all over again. This is that occasional thing where the authors of some media-watching blogs get together in a pub to drink a couple of lemonades and make plans that will solve all the world’s problems. The first… Continue reading Mediawatchery Blogging Meet-Up Thingy 3
Week Notes 11 & 12
It’s been a pretty quiet fortnight all in all. Blogging I’ve written Nothing here, but there was a post on my Perl blog which has attracted a pretty impressive number of comments. And a few more stories from ten years ago got published on Wasted Inches. Health I appear to have reached a bit of… Continue reading Week Notes 11 & 12
Week Notes 10
Blogging Blogging gets a section to itself this week as I’ve finally done a reasonable amount of it. Early in the week I wrote three posts about Cardinal Keith O’Brien and how his article in last Sunday’s Telegraph was complete nonsense. Later in the week, I combined those posts into a report for the Pod… Continue reading Week Notes 10
Wasted Inches
It was 2002 when I first started blogging. This blog’s first post was in July 2002 and we’ll, no doubt, talk about that more when the time comes. But earlier in 2002 there had been another experiment. I didn’t know that I was blogging at the time and it all worked using a few bits… Continue reading Wasted Inches
