Techie Stuff

It’s cold….

……out here in the hall; I’m giving serious consideration to B’s suggestion that I should move my computer into the living room. Trouble is, there isn’t anything big enough to put it on except the (ex-kitchen) table that it’s currently sitting on, and finding room will be difficult. So for now I’ll put on another […]

No Longer Inebriated….

….to prove it, I can spell BANANAS! I thought I had polished off all my banana wine last night, but I’ve just discovered a bottle hiding away in the kitchen, trembling in trepidation. Never, fear, little bottle, you shall remain virginal – for the time being…. I’m now brewing a further two gallons – a […]

Non-Geeks Can Ignore This….

….meeping about web design and stuff. Getting on with the design for the new online Transit, I’ve been looking at CMSs that are specifically for online magazine/newsletters. WordPress, once again seems to win hands down, with at least three themes that are suitable. I’ve looked at a standalone Drupal spin-off called Prosepoint, but its still […]

Musings and thoughts and gardening…..

Well, it’s finally stopped raining – I’ve done no gardening done since Sunday. Didn’t manage any gardening yesterday, probably won’t do any today either – yesterday I got my new hard drive and spent the whole day just installing everything; I’m still dont finished, still got to copy over all my music and pictures, plus […]

Feeling Good…

Hmmm… The drugs do work! Well, so far. I’m feeling cheerful and energetic, and generally much happier and healthier than I’ve been for bloody ages. I’ll have to tell Doc G about it – he’ll be pleased that something he’s prescribed for me is finally working. So I’ve really been charging ahead with work – […]

Bored…..

I’ve not been posting for a while – my knee ligament has decided once again that it doesn’t want to play any more. Additionally, the car has been off the road for the last week, being prepared for MOTting and taxing. So I’ve been pretty much housebound all this time – I can just about […]

Decision time…..

So, spent most of the evening designing my new site. The results are here (the links aren’t working yet). I quite like it… Still haven’t decided where I’m going to keep this blog. Shoving it onto a new domain would be the simplest answer, but I’m worried about the expense of hosting; putting it onto […]

More ch..ch..changes…

Yes, I’ve been away from this blog for a week or two. Been busy with various stuff – getting the Elfin Diaries site up and running (yes, I know it looks just like the old site, but I have managed to give it a much more stable backend; there’s nothing I can do about the […]

The Madness of a Web Designer….

I’ve spent the last three days doing almost nothing but test out various Open Source CMS packages. Fot a long time, I’ve been thinking of using CMS for the

New Look…

Now that I’ve got a local server up and running on my machine (thanks to WAMPS – easiest local server install ever), I can now easily design WordPress themes. This new look is one of the first results – the other is Hyde2612.net. It’s not finished yet – quite a few things, like the sidebar […]
