Just a quick little post to let everyone know that the “Top Readers” plugin will be resetting on January the 1st (in other words the commenters count will be set back to 0 for the plug-in), and continue to tick for a further year. This will give newcomers a chance to get their name in [...]

It’s come to the time to wind down and review and look at the year which has almost passed. I’m doing a little review of what technology purchases I made personally this year. In other words this doesn’t include birthday or Christmas gifts, only objects I bought myself.

Often when I am sitting at the computer and have to work, I get distracted by all the other things going on in life and this often drains away all my motivation and inspiration from writing the masterpieces I know I can.

This is how the game works: I tell you five things that you might not know about me, then I tag five people. They do the same, and each of them passes it on to 5 other people.
