Sometimes what you need is a fresh start. Sometimes you get one anyway. I upgraded to WordPress 2.3 last night and, following a series of mystifying and doubtless comical problems, I … er … lost all my old posts. Well, not lost, as such. I do have the databases backed up,1 and I do know […]
😯 In an attempt to avoid the multiple procrastination born of multi-tasking, I followed Leigh's advice and focussed on one task to the exclusion of all others. A touch over 18 hours of coding later, 1 I have a new theme for the website. I'd forgotten how much work goes into making a new theme. […]
After much dragging of my heels, and much cursing at my substandard internet connection, I have uploaded some of my photos from the Bhutan trip. You can find them over on the new (and imaginatively named) Gallery page. They're not captioned yet, because, well, I haven't quite gotten around to that. I'm testing out a […]
I'm having a bit of a troubled run at the moment, with malware or possibly worse invading the computers and frazzling my concentration, not to mention making internet access patchy at best.

If you were thinking I'd been awfully quiet over the past couple of days, that would be because my webhost was experiencing technical difficulties, otherwise known as HOLY CRAP WE DESTROYED THE INTERNET. (Or at least the bit where your website lives. Give us a sec…) They did not use those exact words, but I […]
Apologies to those reading the blog via newsfeeds. I upgraded wordpress today (after much swearing and angsting over a couple of plugins which refused to play nice), and one of the results was a republishing of all my old posts as new. If you notice any other fun quirks, let me know 😐
Yesterday I spotted the following on an invitation to a baby shower: Eggcorn? Malapropism? Both? Definitely funny, definitely wrong.
In the past few days, the baby has been blessed, I've fallen behind in my daily writing, I've watched the Sarah-Jane/K9 episode of the latest Doctor Who series twice, attempted to clean up my to-do list (which is now ridiculously overlong and unmanageable; and the attempt to clean it up only ate up time, really), […]
