I’ve needed a few diversions away from worrying about our forthcoming wedding (I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t help it, so many people coming so far, for us, it’s difficult not to), so the last day or two I’ve been doing a few purely geeky things, some of which are long overdue. Most obviously, you’ll […]
You might have noticed that the main landing page has been revamped slightly. Perhaps a statement of the obvious, but I was become conscious that this website was sometimes the very first impression new clients might have. Whilst they are necessarily overlapped, I wanted to present a clearer distinction between my work and personal life. […]
A meta-post of sorts. I’m in the midst of weblog tweaking fever and am rejigging much of how this site hangs together. I’m adding some new ‘features’, and consolidating a few things to hopefully make it a bit more interesting. In no particular order, presuming this is of even the slightest bit of interest to anybody […]
Apologies for the sustained absence. I’ve been somewhat busy the last few weeks, what with a trip to London, my parents visiting the dear green place and the ongoing onslaught that is work as a freelance contractor, and something had to give, and that’s been the weblog. Thanks for thoughts received in the meantime. I’ve a […]
Roger Darlington was very gracious in awarding me a ‘Thinking Bloggers’ award and passing on the meme. Because I like shiny things, I also get to put up the little icon. My site, my rules Anyway, I’ve not been tagged with a meme before, so figure it’s only fair to actually pass it on […]
Something that has been occupying my thoughts of late is how to voice opinions on traders and workmen without overstepping what you might call “the line”. By this I of course don’t mean voicing positive recommendations and so forth (let’s face it, nobody is going worry about that), but the negative ones. The problem as I […]
If you visit the front page of leyton.org you’ll see that there are a few sections, most of which are reasonably self-explanatory. Techie stuff, Diary postings, book reviews and so forth. It’s intended as an overview of what’s on the site. The del.icio.us links perhaps require a bit more explaining. They’re simply “interesting links” I’ve encountered […]
Writing a weblog (or anything else for that matter) can be a hit and miss affair. Sometimes you can find yourself overwhelmed with interesting things to waffle on about for a few paragraphs. You start to worry about overwhelming the site with new stuff. Other days, it can be a completely barren affair, and you […]
As is probably apparant to anybody who visits this website, things have changed quite a bit in the last few days. The main reason is that I have changed the underlying software which manages the content from Movable Type to Wordpress. Now that the technical change is complete, I’m playing about with the themes that are […]
Bits and pieces
All go at the moment, so only time for a brief update: Wedding plans are proceeding well. We’re being cautioned by friends to stay calm as the day approaches, and I think we are managing that quite well. Got quite excited picking up the rings, as well as getting to see the finished product for something […]
