Just a quick post to say happy Christmas to those that celebrate it. To everyone else, happy holiday. Of course, if you don’t have a holiday this time of year I guess it’s just happy now. Cheers Tim…

On my final day in Bulgaria I managed to leave my coat, hat and gloves in a restaurant about 2 hours away from Sofia. I realized when we were about 30 minutes from Sofia, but thought it was no point saying anything because we didn’t have time to go back and get them. When we [...]

I had a bit of good news the other day. Nephew #2 (6 years old) is now playing for Aston Villa Academy. He’s quite small for his age and he trialed with a group of boys a year older than him, so my brother said he looked tiny and the kit they gave him was [...]

One of my friends is a drama teacher, so every once in a while I get invited to see productions that are touring locally. Last night I went to see some physical theatre by a company called DV8. The show was called “Can we talk about this?” and was about “freedom of speech, censorship and [...]

Website stats are an odd thing. If you look at them too often and you start to think they matter, which is why I avoid looking at them for months on end. I’ve seen a couple of browser share articles recently, so I decided to check out the spread for my website (oracle-base.com). The top [...]

The Gmail new look was rolled out while I was on the road, so it’s taken until now for me to really take a good look at it. Let me start by saying I’m not a total hater, but there are some things that do not seem like an improvement to me. The contrast is [...]
