Hypocrisy is a wonderful thing, and thanks to the medium of social networking, it is a much easier thing to achieve. Every time Facebook chisels away at the privacy settings of the least private private network in the world, or Google adds another prohibitively anti privacy line to its terms and conditions, I do the [...]
It seems a strange irony that the general increase in engagement with the news in general by the public at large seems to correspond directly with the complete collapse of the news making industry. You see that sentence there? That’s why I will never be a journalist, you know, a proper paid one. But who [...]
For some reason I find the weekend to be the hardest time to keep up with the blog a day ethic, which surprises me since I thought they would be the easiest. I think it is the lure of Total Wipeout in the hour that is my normal blogging time, or the fact that I [...]
Ellen has gone and abandoned me for the night to go and see Black Swan, so I’m on my own tonight with the only plan being to try and write as much as I can before she gets back, and liaising with Jonic about the site design and all that sort of goodness. What I [...]
Back to work today, so at the very least I have left the Chapelfields estate, which is nice, seeing as it is a pit of desperation. And possibly cholera. My day has also been brightened immensely by the news that I have won a copy of the Zomblogalypse DVD on Twitter, so that can get [...]
Now that the holiday season is all but over and I have reclaimed my house back from the parental units that have been squatting in it for the last week I find myself sitting not in front of my fantastic new telly (cheers Mum and Dad) watching my extended Lord of the Rings DVD box [...]
For the most part I’ve been taking December as a ‘month off the Internet’, save for the occasional pop round the door of Twitter or Facebook to say hello, or tell crap jokes which then get ignored or scorned upon. It’s been refreshing, and I’m not really sure how much I’ve really missed it, but [...]
As my seven year anniversary of spewing my mind onto the internet (or blogging) approaches (October 8th, fact-fans) I’ve been re-reading some of my really early posts from my old Livejournal. Very surreal experience, a bit like revisiting the old diary you used to keep when an angst-and-spot-ridden adolescent. One thing that struck me was [...]
I’ve a couple of mega busy weeks at work that have left me too knackered to do much, so I haven’t done much in accordance with my knackeration. But now, I feel compelled to write and tell you all that I am in mourning, albeit a temporary state of bereavement. Yesterday I had to go and [...]
A while back I flirted with the idea of completely junking Windows from my computer and replacing it with Ubuntu, the freeware Linux system, on the sage-like advice of Mr Jonic. I got pretty close to doing it too, even bought a magazine with the boot disk, but then it didn’t work and I got [...]
