2006 - Executive Summary

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

This has been a pretty eventful year for my family and me. It has also been the first full year in which I have blogged more or less regularly, writing a total of 56 posts. This makes it a lot easier to look back and remember the highlights of the past 12 months.

In January I […]

Woah, Scrybe!

Monday, October 9th, 2006

While generally enthusiastic about new products, I am not that easily wowed. However, I just watched this video preview of Scrybe, a new kind of online organiser and wholy smokes, I am pretty impressed.

Where am I?

Tuesday, March 7th, 2006

Not working means that my productivity has dropped to near zero. I get nothing done. Every little task becomes a major project. I spent most of my time looking after Felix, which is great (and frees up Beth to do some DIY work ;) but writing blog entries has become near impossible. On top of […]

Getting serious

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

I have decided that TypePad really is not good enough anymore for what I want to do with this blog in the future. I really would need to upgrade to a Pro account to have the flexibility I think I need and at $14.95 that is a lot more expensive than getting a basic hosting […]
