Went camping at the weekend

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

In a distinctly non-work related post, I went away camping for the first time in a long time over Easter. A bit of walking round the north coast of Exmoor.
Here’s some pictures, awesome weather generally

You Are Mexican Food

Spicy yet dependable.
You pull punches, but people still love you.

What Kind of Food Are You?

Ignorance

Bit of a extra metaphor in the ‘height’ comment there I think. Despite being just over 6ft, that is how I feel at times…..

God makes society worse?

Thursday, September 29th, 2005

I generally try not to go on about this kind of thing on my blog, but religion is a particular bugbear of mine and this is a pretty interesting report, though I’m sure there are many holes in the argument.
Via Tom Coates I found an article at Times Online about a report that suggests Societies [...]

UK EduBlogger Directoy

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005

I follow a few education related blogs, one of which is EdTechUK by Josie Fraser.

Banks to speed up, slowly

Thursday, May 26th, 2005

Via Lockergnome I found an article at The Register about how the internet is forcing UK banks to speed up transfers.
Two things to say about it, about time they got off their arses, and why do we have to wait till the end of 2007 (plus the extra time as it will obviously be late) [...]

Wellington Federation of Sports Clubs web site relaunched

Thursday, April 28th, 2005

Skip my long, drawn out story below if you like, and just go and see the new Wellington Federation of Sports Clubs web site, setup by me using Drupal and a few tweaks. A huge improvement over the old site, and some additional improvements to be made yet. I’m hopeful though, that it [...]
