Wanted, dead or alive!
Well I’ve always liked to think that I am useful in some small way (my mother always says she’ll find a use for me one of these days ), and so when I one of my forum members posted a link to what looks like an interesting waste of a few minutes, I [...]

Where does Bob live?
JackP over at The Pickards posted recently about this PepsiCo ad, made by a group called enAble, deaf members of the PepsiCo workforce.
The ad was shown during a commercial break at the Superbowl, and what I love about it is that it not only is it an excellent example of a company utilising the skills [...]

I’ve been tagged!
I’ve been tagged – whatever that might mean…
Is it a game of tag where the one tagged is now “it” and races around the playground madly, looking for someone else to tag? Sort of, but with blogs – and it’s like tag on steroids because you have to tag 6 people. Phew! That’s a lot [...]

The artist formerly known as
If it’s good enough for Prince, or “The Artist Formerly Know As”, or whatever he’s calling himself these days, then it’s good enough for me.
I use a variety of different avatars in various places across the web, some match whatever name I go by in that particular establishment (I have a variety of names [...]

People live inside my head
People live inside my head. No, seriously, they do! Come back! Don’t back away from the keyboard as though I’m some crazy woman! (though I probably am)
For as long as I can remember I’ve had the urge to write. When I was nine, my headteacher at junior school, Mr Keating, had an accident. He had [...]

The wonders of the web
Somewhere I’ve got a copy of Tim Berners-Lee’s autobiography, “Weaving the web” – the “inventor” of the world wide web. It’s a fascinating read if you’re a geeky type, all about how the web came about and required reading for any true or aspiring geek. TBL had a vision of a worldwide network of computers [...]

What’s with the neon blue space-ship?
If you’ve hovered over the blog header when you’re not on on the front page…*waits a moment for you to try it now if you haven’t already*…then you may have noticed there’s a gorgeous little neon blue flying saucer that says “go home” at the side of it. The “go home” bit means if you [...]

On disability
I recently got involved in a debate on a forum about disability, my response to which actually forms the basis of this blog entry. The debate was around whether having a particular medical condition, in this case IIH makes you disabled. One forum member did comment that a simple yes or no would have sufficed [...]

Woo hoo! I didded it! (and a rather nifty PHP include menu)
It feels like ages since I’ve done a site from scratch – just lately all I seem to have been working on is re-designs and re-brandings, so it’s made a nice change to get back to doing some original design work, and this weekend I finished off a one-page sample for a client. The basic [...]

I wish I knew how to quit you – 2
Nope, not another ramble on about Brokeback Mountain – this one’s about my employer’s dimwit IT dept.
Every day come time to go home, I start shutting down apps in preparation for switching off my PC (wouldn’t want to be caught by the energy efficiency police leaving a monitor or something on! *gasp*) and [...]
