Look! I’m back! Sort of – this is very much a holding blog until I get everything sorted out on my super-shiny, all-bells-and-whistles, systematic, hydromatic new site.
Many apologies for my sustained absence – believe me, I wish it hadn’t been so long. Anyhoo, I have returned, with a temporary blog here to hold my pearls [...]
I was going to post on Twitter that Twitter is currently down. It took me at least three attempts to realise the flaw in my plan…
Should be blogging more, but I’ve been awfully busy with work (yes, proper work, here) and haven’t really felt like it. More anon, though, I promise.
So, I’ve been told off several times in the past couple of weeks for not having blogged since the beginning of August. I sincerely apologise. It was not my intention to let down my, literally, dozens of readers. Truth be told, I broke my blog publishing system just after that post, and I simply never [...]
Yes, it turns out that I’ve rather neglected my blogging duties recently. Since the beginning of December, in fact. Sorry about that. I could say that I’ve had too much to do, but that would be a bit of a fib. Truth be told, I’ve just not got round to it.

This is a temporary measure – comments should be back working as soon as I get [...]
Got back from Paris early yesterday afternoon.
Checked my emails, eventually, to be greeted with this:
Any guesses how many were spam?
448\. Nearly 500 spam emails in five days. Gah.
And of the others, just over 100 were about spam comments on the various blogs floating around here. So I’ve done some fiddling with them (everything should now [...]
It seems that that upgrade hasn’t gone quite as smoothly as I thought…
If you post a comment while signed in to the TypeKey service, you will see a rather large and scary error message. I have no idea what it means, and Six Apart’s technical support peeps are looking at it as we speak.
In fact, [...]
I have been meaning for some time to collect all my reviews together in one place. I’ve just never had the time to sit and shift them across from one blog to another. But changes are afoot…
This year – nay, this month – I’m going to be taking part in the Blogathon, a 24-hour sponsored [...]
