The web site design transition is continuing apace. Fresh from the template mangler are the photo album, the wish list page (its not too late to buy me a Christmas present you know), narcissism central and a couple of the actual photo album pages. It is Christmas Eve and I am at work. So I …

The End of the World
It may possibly be the start of the end of the world as we know it. Or not, it depends on your point of view. Reading this weeks NTK (a top class publication) I note that the best tech news site on the web The Register is trimming its staff. Oh, woe is me. If …
I’ve started what may be
I’ve started what may be the slowest web site re-design in history. I’ve never been over the moon with the look of this web site so I decided to do something about it. I like the look of this blog, and so with a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to Eliza Wee (whose design formed the basis …

If you are in the slightest bit interested …
Many apologies
Many apologies, I was slagging off Auckland when in fact it is Wellington that is in the midst of ‘Tolkien fever’. Thanks to the Grauniad for the info. They are still mad sheep worriers if you ask me though.
Just a quick one
Just a quick one this morning. Check out the Caption Blog, courtesy of Adam Curry. Well, it made me smile.
Even more posting
Even more posting, good grief. Just thought I would share the latest extremely stupid hype with you all. As you may have noticed the first instalment of "Lord of the Hype" has been premiered in London today. I have nothing against this work apart from a) I thought the book was rubbish b) It has …
