The End is In Sight…

You may have noticed that I’ve not been around much lately. While the main reason remains the tour, a large part of why I’ve been so busy has been the amount of websites I’ve suddenly been building.

I’ve just finished 2 of them for my old college friend Adam Hutchins. He called me up a while ago to revamp his Agency site and to build him a Personal site too. I started work about a month ago and finally got the 2nd one published today. It’s been a good project during which I’ve learnt a lot. Adam was very keen on having a content management system in place so I’ve spent much time fiddling with Wordpress templates! I’ve also written a couple of plugins along the way which I’ll package up and share with the general populus shortly.

More on these soon, as well as more about my impressions of the new MacBook.

Bye for now…

Just a quick post to test the new version 2 of the WordPress for iPhone app I discovered today. So far so good! Nice to be able to deal with pages and comments as well as posts. The local drafts never worked properly for me on the old version but they seem to be fixed [...]

I have an early-ish start tomorrow and, as usual, this means I’m still up at 2.27am. What is it about preparing and packing that renders me incapable of sleep? You’d think I’d be used to travelling so much by now….

Following an enormous gap between posts during a summer which has seen me going all over the place, I’m now back on the Rat Pack – Live At The Sands US Tour. We’re opening this season’s tour in Atlanta tomorrow night and I’m very much enjoying being here in the warm weather. Certainly a nice [...]

No really! Yesterday, I had a sandwich stolen from my hand mid-bite! I was enjoying my lunch as I walked towards the theatre in Aberdeen when I was slapped in the side of the head by what felt like a football going at full pelt. It proved to be said vicious sea-bird!
A word to the [...]

I’m writing this at 6.30am in Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport on the way back from my most recent excursion with “Rat Pack – Live At The Sands” US tour. Life has been really crazy lately with more travelling than I would have thought I’d ever do. Running backwards and forwards between UK and US Tour dates [...]

I posted the other day that installing WordPress 2.1 (RC 1) had shown up some deficiencies in my Show/Hide Links plugin. I finally had time to sit down and fix it today.
The result is Show/Hide Links v.3.0.
There aren’t any changes in functionality, the only difference is that this version works with WordPress 2.1. [...]

Planned UK Road Pricing

I’ve come to this a little late because I’ve been out of the country, but it seems that in December the Government announced plans for a forthcoming Road Pricing scheme in the UK. It seems that, from researching this on the internet, there are conflicting reports and opinions on how this would actually work, but certain salient points are giving me cause for concern.
