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 …
Content Free
I’m still content (and inspiration) free. Which is a bit of a shame this close to Christmas, and isn’t helped by the fact that I can look out of the office window and see bright sunshine and a blue sky. Still, I have managed to put some new CDs in my car. Can you tell …
More quality quotes
More quality quotes from the lovely people at The Quotations Page. First, the serious; Isaac Newton. “If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the shoulders of giants.” Blaise Pascal. “Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little …
I don’t want to write
I don’t want to write anything today. I’m too tired and too grumpy. Remind me to explain what the last few weeks of a project are like when I’ve survived the go-live on this one. In the meantime have a look at what Mark Pilgrim has written today. Its definitely more interesting than what I’ve …

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 …
Reuniting
It is all Matthew Molland’s fault. I was considering leaving this post as just that sentence but you probably deserve a bit of elaboration. My so called ‘best man’ sent me an email over the weekend. As usual I skimmed it, composed a suitable witty reply about how wonderful I am and how cold, grey …
