About time I revamped the website…

admin — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 22:52:52 +0000

Just in time for Christmas. Not a drastic overhaul, but a few nice features. I’m going to spend a bit of time putting together more things in my portfolio section, and will blog about the various services I can provide, like website design and build, gig flyers, and SEO services. I’ll probably make things look a little prettier too.

I’m also going to spend a little time re-building my url shortner twis.to so that it’s automated.

Get fit campaign – day….9

admin — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 17:48:43 +0000

After not having any time to ride over the past 6 or 7 days, I managed another lunchtime ride. Today was a very blustery day, and all the homeward half of the ride was into a strong headwind.

Get fit campaign – day three

Managed to get out at lunchtime for a quick 20 minutes (well, 18 actually). Managed to keep the speed up a little longer today, and it didn’t hurt quite so much.

Managed to stick under my calories too;

Get fit campaign – day one

admin — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 20:51:40 +0000

Today was the first day of my attempt at getting fit losing a stone…or more. A 7 and a half mile cycle ride at 8am. It was tough, and there were more than a few occasions that I felt I was going to lose my breakfast, but I feel good for getting started and back in the saddle. I drank more fluids too, and cut down on the coffee, only having one cup all day. Time will tell if I manage to keep it up. I won’t be able to cycle again until Friday of this week, but will try and fit in a few brisk walks over the next couple of days.

Saw this a few weeks ago on Harborne High Street. Stuck with me for some reason

Updating wordpress to 3.1

admin — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 20:42:23 +0000

I’ve just updated my wordpress install to 3.1, and it looks pretty cool. The admin bar at the top is a nice addition, and the internal linking facility will come in really useful, as I talk about lots of stuff that I’ve covered before like android, Blackberry and posterous. Noting that it only seems to work with the visual editor and not HTML.

this is another one of those test posts. Just in case you were tired of them the other day, or in case you’d completely forgotten about them. Good aren’t they?

Or not.

Dropbox is lovely

admin — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 16:34:43 +0000

I’ve been messing about with dropbox, and it is indeed lovely. I tried to install the android app from the market, but had issues. Five minutes after emailing them, I got a reply with a link to download. That’s service. Here’s the link – http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=24890
