Recently I accidentally deleted all my Google Reader RSS feeds!
To be honest I haven’t been getting the best out of Google Reader af late because, I suspect, it had become too overwhelming. There were hundreds of articles lurking there taunting me. I would just scroll through them, barely even skimming them, just to try and [...]

At the risk of turning this into a Thunderbird blog, I must tell you how my love affair with this fantastic program is going.
The latest addition to my set-up is the Lightning add-on. This add-on brings the features of Mozilla’s calendar/scheduling program Sunbird directly into Thunderbird. With the addition of another add-on you [...]

Today, while enjoying a pack of delicious Maoam chews, I noticed that that little green guy (who apparently is known only as ‘The Maoam Man‘) is enjoying himself a little too much with that anthropomorphic fruit. He certainly seems to be doing a lot more than just squeezing that lemon!

For the most part I love Christmas.
