  • New tools for the blog

    Following the 500 words lost incident earlier today I’ve upgraded the tools that I use for posting to this weblog a little. I now use [TextMate](http://macromates.com/), a fabulous text editor that I use for all my coding. I found out it had a blogging interface, and away I went… To make that work a little…

  • Missing autosave

    I just typed about 500 words (which was only about halfway into the post) and then a ‘user malfunction’ caused it all to disappear. I wish this program had autosave! 🙁 (I’ll try and get back to my fascinating post about mid-1970s exchange rate policy soon, but I don’t think I can stand doing it…

  • Happy New Year!

    Sorry about the lack of posts for the last little while, I’ve been caught up with one thing (fairly frantic period at work right up until Christmas), another thing (Christmas) or something else (been pretty sick the last couple of days). With good luck in this new year I’ll be able to post a lot…

  • Google search results

    Strange thing: right this moment, I’m the top result in Google for ‘promoted to EL2’. 🙂 Update: Ooh, and I’m 6th for ‘treasury EL2’.

  • Yay ADSL2!

    Just got an email from my ISP (the fabulous Internode) to tell me that my upgrade to ADSL2 will be happening sometime next week. Should pretty much quadruple my internet connection speed, which will be very nice indeed.

  • Gah!

    Sorry, all, for the long time between posts. No real excuse: just a busy period at work, combined with a semi-nasty bike crash that put a temporary halt to my exercise dreams. Anyway, I should be back at this a bit more frequently now. With any luck I’ll be able to post some good news…

  • I am a bad, bad blogger

    Sorry for the lack of content this past week – I’ve been sick. I’ll be trying to do better, so look for more stuff from tomorrow.

  • The Return of the Blog

    As you can see, I’m trying to post a bit more often now. I’m going to try and post around three things every day. We’ll see how long this lasts: my money is on less than a week… (If I go really nuts I might actually finish writing the template for this blog too). Update:…

  • My eyes, the goggles do nothing!

    Yes, I know the blog looks horrible at the moment. I’m experimenting with some possibilities for layout, and should have it all working neatly in a week or two. (Which will also mean fewer posts from me, as my spare time for this blog will go into design rather than content…)

  • New URL

    Welcome to the new URL (and slightly changed name) for my weblog. The old content will not be migrated over, because it just wasn’t that good. Here’s to fresh content!
