Yes, I still write letters!

June 22, 2010 – 6:00 pm

Back in the day [oh how I hate that phrase!] I used to write and receive a lot of letters, especially when I went to school in England for a year and later moved back here. It was pretty much the only way to stay in contact with my friends and gave me something to [...]

In 2009

December 31, 2009 – 11:45 pm

#In2009 is a hashtag that’s been popular on Twitter the past few days and it’s been interesting to see what other people have done in 2009. I posted a tweet as well, but feel like I want to elaborate a bit more. My tweet: #In2009 I moved back to Reading #rdg and realised a lot [...]

Links I’ve been meaning to blog about for too long

November 14, 2009 – 11:52 pm

The title says it all and some of these have been open in Firefox tabs for months! Can you predict review scores? – I can’t believe anyone thought this was worthy of a company! Maybe I should start a company like that and make money! Stop Telling Me What To Do – Lengthy [and I [...]

#NaNoWriMo – Day 2 to 4

November 5, 2009 – 4:35 am

Unsurprisingly NaNoWriMo isn’t going as well as I’d hoped, although at the same time I’ve already accomplished more than my past two attempts. I’m currently on 3644 words and should be on 6667 by now [yes, today is the fifth day, but seeing that it's 3am in the morning, I'm not counting it!]. I started [...]

#NaNoWriMo 2009 – Day 1

November 1, 2009 – 3:48 am

Another year of NaNoWriMo and I’m determined to complete my novel this year! So far I’ve written 300 words in the past twenty minutes and am now stopping for tonight to gather my thoughts. I’m not sure where I want this novel to go or even it’s most basic plot outline, but I’ve started with [...]

How to: The BIG Twitter related link post!

December 14, 2008 – 10:56 pm

It’s no secret to anyone that I love and use Twitter a lot. Some even say I abuse it, but that’s a whole different story! This post is a link post with ideas for applications, integrations, my guides and posts related to Twitter and a long list of people or sites everyone on Twitter should [...]

Happy Nikolaus 2008!

December 7, 2008 – 12:01 am

This is pretty much the perfect time to get a blog post in as I can’t just ignore my tradition of the last years by not posting something today. Last year’s post and the post from 2006 are still on the internet, the others long since deleted with my previous attempts to blog. I’m finding [...]

NaNoWriMo – Is preparation necessary?

October 8, 2008 – 8:52 am

It appears that everywhere I look these days people are preparing themselves for NaNoWriMo by either researching their characters or locations. Looking round the NaNoWriMo forums is almost scary as people are asking for very specific things, including Czech accents or whether people that wear glasses get headaches if they have to spend a day [...]

On my English..

October 7, 2008 – 8:02 pm

As I mentioned recently I am intending to take part in this year’s NaNoWriMo which is something I had been meaning to do for a few years, but always lost interest even before it started. Only time will tell if I will complete it this year or even start, but I’m looking forward to some [...]

Dark Lake theme, NaNoWriMo and more..

October 2, 2008 – 7:16 am

Considering it has been over ten months since the last theme change it was about time it happened, so goodbye Diurnal and hello Dark Lake. Diurnal is an amazing theme, great colours, layout and the change of the colourscheme according to the time of the day is ingenious. However, considering how it’s now October and [...]
