A couple of times in recent days, I have found myself musing over a problem that I’m sure everyone has to deal with from time to time. What do you do, when someone you know, and perhaps like, comes out with a statement that either disgusts or repulses you? What if you are getting along [...]
Some time ago, I met half of my family for the first time, and said goodbye to the other half for the last time. It was a traumatic, life changing period of my life, and one that became a turning point in many ways. I started to try and make sense of everything, and as [...]
Without seeing the whole enquiry, it is difficult to pass too much comment, but the “Blair Day” has been interesting more for the coverage than the content. As with all enquiries, it is easy to avoid answering questions in order to get your point across, and of course, politicians are good at it. I am [...]
For my more geeky readers, I have been playing with VNC today…it stands for Virtual Network Computing. Basically, there is a rather superb little app for the iPhone (Yawn…here he goes again talking about that bloody iPhone) that gives you full remote access to a PC of your choice. This basically means that I can [...]
I downloaded an app for the iPhone called Trailguru. It basically uses the GPS facility of the phone to establish a trail on which you are walking. I tend to walk the same one of three routes each day, and up until now have only guessed at the distance. It is what appears to be [...]
So I have changed my mind about something I’m writing. I’ve found that I need some spark of inspiration before I really get going, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who has this requirement. With the “Urban Hymns” play, I have started to become frustrated with the limitations I have put upon myself [...]
Well I have had a good few days with which to play with and generally try to break my iPhone, so thought I would write my thoughts, especially in the light of a possible purchase of one by a friend of mine, “Young Missy Pops”.
It is without doubt, a stunning gadget. The screen is [...]
Had a very busy day today, but still managed a nice walk today. There have been some spectacular skies lately as you can see. I’m not sure that they are of any interest to anyone else, but they make me happy.
Work was fantastic tonight, I have a lovely team and I feel very [...]
I was accompanied by youngest on today’s hike through the Bedfordshire countryside. Tried a few shots with the iPhone camera, and was quite pleased with the results by comparison to the Nokia. We have been enjoying a quiet and relaxed weekend for the first time in ages, and I think we all needed it. I [...]
More frustration from school was reported with an incident with A student teacher. I have had a long chat and we have decided that youngest will talk to the teacher herself, which fills me with joy. I love the fact that she wants to deal with it herself.
