Hey there. I’m writing this on my iPod at work. Today, Wordpress released their iPhone/iPod touch application, so I’m just giving it a whirl. Since you’re reading this, it seems to do the trick. I especially like the fact I can write local drafts without having to be in a wifi zone. Very handy [...]
I’m not happy. Not at all!
This Friday, the brand new iPhone 3G will be launched to the drooling masses. Up until yesterday, I was one of those, wiping saliva away and making sure my bank balance would be able to cope. That was until O2, the exclusive carrier of the iPhone in the UK, [...]
This is the first year in five years that I didn’t go down to SW19 for The Championships at Wimbledon. Why?
Money! A day at Wimbledon isn’t cheap! A hotel room the night before (see below for why you might need one) costs no less than £80, the cost to get in is anywhere between £20 [...]
Hey there. I’m writing this whilst sitting in the waiting room at Leicester train station. To my left are two kids jumping about on the seats and giggling. Really quite annoying.
I’m enroute to Derby to meet some friends. I missed the direct service by 2 minutes so I’m having to do the journey in [...]
Here’s a business tip from me. It may sound obvious, but millions of businessmen forget to do this. If you’re unable to provide a service to your customers due to technical failure, always put up a sign that says so. That way, you won’t have them coming up to you and speaking to you directly. [...]
Every weekday, having finished work, I catch the bus home. Two stops after I have boarded, an ear-ringed man gets on. He and I travel on the same bus home, every day. Nothing remarkable so far I suppose you’re saying. How about if I tell you we get off at the same stop? Does that [...]
Lately, I’ve rediscovered the brilliance of the US version of The Office (named ‘The Office: An American Workplace‘ in the UK). I watched it for the first time when the BBC bought the rights to show the first series and put it on at 21h00 weekly. I thought it was excellent. I kind of lost [...]
It’s been an eventful week or so since my last post. Last Thursday, I spent a day at BBC Television Centre and yesterday, I woke up to an early spring covering of snow. I might post about those events a bit more later. For now, this post is supposed to touch base with you. My [...]
Yesterday was pretty cool. Not only did I experience an earthquake for the first time, but I also had the opportunity to do some filming for the BBC.
Two weeks ago, I emailed the BBC in response to a new entertainment news programme they launched on BBC News 24. A few days after, I got a [...]
I couldn’t make it a whole month without posting. That would be terribly unreliable of me. So, I’m rushing this out while I have just over 24 hours to spare.
First, just a quick update on what’s happening at the moment. Last Sunday, I started this year’s OU course, European Cultures and Identities. It’s my last [...]
