Where do blogs go to die?


I’m not referring to my own although you would be forgiven for thinking that I am such are the lack of posts. No, I’m referring to the blogs that are lovingly cared for on a commercial host where the owner has a met a fate most foul (or maybe just died) and has stopped paying [...]

One day…


for no particular reason I decided to post a photo of a cat

Scuppered!


My plans (not that I had worked them out yet but that’s how I start this post)… My plans, have been dealt a mortal blow. Not by Somalian pirates, not even by good old Cornish ones, but by my good lady wife. Well not so much her but by her flat tyre. The net result [...]

All right stop collaborate and listen…


Its often good practice to slow down, stop and take a look around. That’s just what I’m doing now. Its a quiet Sunday morning post Christmas and Boxing Day. Having sat in front of the screen for a while catching up on the news and my dismal Fantasy Premier league score this week I realised [...]

ugvx.com – It just won’t die


Many of you know that I’ve been involved with ugvx.com for many years. You’ll be excused for thinking from the title of this post that its been a millstone around my neck. Far from it and I’d describe it as more of a labour of love. There is no denying though that it was in [...]

Cooking up some Caribbean


Thanks to the recent PS3 update and the new iPlayer option I realised I’d been missing Levi Roots Caribbean Cooking Made Easy on BBC2. I love Caribbean food, especially my BBQ favourite – Jerk Chicken. In fact on a BBQ day I coat everything on Jerk seasoning, the hotter the better. Having watched the first [...]

Looking for a new camera


I don’t really need a new camera but I’m getting used to having my iPhone photos geotagged so I’ve been looking around at whats available. A bit of Googling pointed me in the direction of the Nikon P6000 but some comments I’ve seen on TestFreaks such as “unreliable gps operation, intermittent gps” make me think [...]

iFooty Plus and Sky Sports SC update


Over the weekend I gave the previously mentioned apps a good testing. The Sky Sports app is one of the slickest apps I’ve ever used. The interface is sublime with lots of little animation touches that make using it a pleasure. However I have to go hats off to iFooty Plus who’s push notifications just [...]
