Technology Trials

I quite enjoyed the day job yesterday. My new ability to retain in almost Buddhist-like calmness, seems to be confusing a few people and it’s interesting to see other’s reactions when I don’t rise or become flustered. I wonder how long it’ll last? I keep expecting it to wear off any minute.
I was half [...]

The Keyboard and The Pen

I seem to be growing tiredness mushrooms on my eyes the further into this week I get. I’m starting the days off in great spirit, then as the day wears on and I start to get ground down, I go home with an aching back, lost sparkle and eyes sprouting with tiredness fungi. It’s [...]

Grab My Books For Free Today Only!

I’ve been unable to blog the last few days. Guess why? I have discovered the source of the recent problems with my home PC’s Windows Operating System. It appears that under most conditions, running the disk defragmenter while using MS Vista is a bad idea. I’m not the only one who has had to [...]

The Only Losers In A Hung Parliament

Image: Stock

I got home late last night, and when I did I was starving. I popped into a shop to get the ingredients for a cake I was going to bake for work, having offered up my “baking services” as part of a charity bake-off, but the shop didn’t have what I need and it [...]

Sleepless In Leith

Spare a thought this morning for my good friend Devon Ellington. One of her beloved cats, Elsa, has been sickly of late and last night she found out the reason why: the onset of cancer.
Devon’s cats have become as well-loved members of the online writing community as much as Devon has. We’ve read about [...]

The Cost Of March

Dear Lord, I thank myself for my blessed foresight when I purchased a Netbook last year, for it has gotten me out of quite a few scrapes already. I bought it to support my writing in a mobile environment, but it has also given me the ability to access vital day job facilities [...]

Bloody Vista

Thanks for all your birthday wishes posted on the blog yesterday—I passed them all on. Perhaps the most scary comment left was: “A teenage female in the house, good luck mate.” Cheers Stevie—just when I needed a laugh!
I got the feeling all day that yesterday was a public/local holiday of some [...]

At one point on Wednesday I sent out a tweet that read “I’m having a great day!” And it was: I was rocketing through my project work at the day job, solved two complicated high priority system problems, and was on a general high from all the progress I’d made with my [...]

Had Enough Of Computers

Image: How Stuff Works.com

The writing and posting of this blog entry will be my only foray to my PC today. I need to get away from the screen for a few hours after a week doing nothing else but watching cursors and thinking technology. One needs to step away.
I forwent my usual Saturday morning gander [...]

The Other Side Of The Fence

One would have hoped after a weekend of creative indulgence and some quality me time, that the start of the week would have been an easier slide back into my day job in I.T. But no, it was as though the weekend never happened. From 8am I was back into it 100% [...]

A Day With Moi

Image: Dennis Wong

Yesterday was the kind of Saturday I’ve needed for quite some time. If I could have wished for a better feeling come the twilight of the afternoon, then I got what I desired. It was a nice day but not all that exciting. It was low level boring stuff to most, but for [...]

Homey Boy

I’ve ordered some new slippers. I came across some fabulous foot offerings called Homeys and was swept away, not only with the comfort they look like they have (like walking on shag pile) but also their designs—take a look for yourself! I ordered a pair of Crazy Feet; purple weave with innards like lambs [...]

Totally Psyched

Yesterday’s blog tour stop over at Cate Master’s was a great success. Cate gave me a special interview plus the spot came with a free giveaway of a copy of STELLA. It’s open until Sunday so you can still be in with a chance of winning, you only have to point your browser to [...]

The Promo Merry-Go-Round

Image: Hitchster

When I typed the words, “I have a book coming out this week” in yesterday’s blog post, something happened inside me – I got my first blast of nerves. It’s gone away now that the promo merry-go-round has begun, but I find I get excited about it in waves instead. I suspect when the [...]
