Meanwhile, down at the zoo…

Jun 8, 2008 |

Edinburgh Zoo was looking fine in the sunshine. The new Budongo Chimp enclosure was very good (although not that great for getting photos). Still, did manage to catch some of the critters. As usual, click on the image to download a hi-res version.Pygmy MarmosetGreat...

Party All Over The World

May 26, 2008 |

Well. Despite not being able to buy The Beatle Man on Amazon in the UK at the moment, the booksellers in other parts of the world have sprung into action.So, the people of Japan, Denmark & Estonia, I say to you, buy the book, love the book and, if you're very...

One Step Forward…

May 17, 2008 |

Two steps back. First the good news, the book cover art has turned up on the Amazon listing for the book. Which is nice.Unfortunately, Amazon cancelled the test order I did saying they couldn't get the book and you can no longer buy it. So much for the so-called...

This August I Will Be Mostly…

May 8, 2008 |

The sharp eyed among my reader will notice a new widget on the left. "What's that all about?" you may ask. Well, let me explain.In a weaker/intelligent/stupid/inspired* moment, I agreed to join a couple on intrepid explorers in doing this year's Sucata Run. I won't...

And finally Esther…

May 5, 2008 |

Well, well, well. After who knows how long, The Beatle Man is now listed on Amazon (albeit with a somewhat perplexing 'sourcing fee' which will hopefully go and no cover art). Not entirely as energised by this news as I would have expected, but all things writing are...

Bimbogami 2 – The excitement builds…

Apr 28, 2008 |

Testing continues and the tension at Bimbogami Towers rises. It's nice to see that there are people out there trying to find out the launch date. Current answer is "not sure yet" but testing is going well so we don't expect it to be too long. MorFF and I are currently...

Bimbogami – Season 2 is Coming

Apr 13, 2008 |

Not long to go until Season 2 of Bimbogami is unleashed on the puzzle world. Testing has begun on the new set of puzzles and MorFF is busy scurrying about behind the scenes to get the site ready. Thankfully, there's not a huge amount to do due to the genius of the...

My Top 10 Foreign Films

Apr 3, 2008 |

Following on from my recent spate of clip posts, I'm going to go for a Top 10, thus propelling me nearer to the top of the "Blogs with an editorial style close to Channel 5" charts.*So, inspired by a chat on the way home with Stu the other night, I decided to work out...

Rag, Tag and Bobtail

Apr 1, 2008 |

I was tempted to continue "Speed of Spam" experiment by calling this blog post "Britney Spears Naked" but it turns out I didn't have to.*Once again, I have nothing particularly coherent to say so this will be another collection of stuff.First of all, I have to say...

Free Porn – The Aftermath

Mar 26, 2008 | ,

Well that didn't take long. It took about 18 hours between my last blog post titled 'Free Porn' and my first hit from someone searching for something similar. I imagine it was because they had something specific ( "7/24" matched the time of the post ) in their search...

Free Porn

Mar 25, 2008 | , ,

There is so little to report it is a little embarrassing to even consider a blog post but I feel I owe my reader some output.So, you'll have to put up with a crappy clip show of a post (and a really spammy title, just as an experiment).Book StuffBit of a distribution...

Schrödinger’s Documentary

Mar 3, 2008 |

I generally don't do much in the way of TV review or commment but I've seen a couple of things recently that have given me a notion I feel compelled to share.Last night I watched a 'documentary' called "Willie's Wonky Chocolate Factory". I got pretty much what I...

Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick, Slow

Mar 2, 2008 |

SlowProgress on Terra Exitus is very slow. Got off to a flyer but then things got quite busy workwise and I have ground to a halt. I hope to pick it up again this week. Even if I get something down I'l feel a bit better.SlowThe Beatle Man should be available on Amazon...

Butterfly Boy Strikes Back

Feb 6, 2008 |

Well, I just wasn't in the mood tonight. So I watched some football and then did this.I know this is the cart about 14 miles in front of the horse, but it was a fun diversion for 10 minutes. Many thanks to Elisa Stopponi for letting me use her great image. She is a...

Very Odd Sensation

Feb 5, 2008 |

Hey! Two nights in a row. Not predigous output but definite signs that the butterfly has landed for a while. Just called me Forrest Gumption.A weird thing happened tonight. The stuff I was trying to right was so bleak (at least that was the intention) that I actually...

Saddle Up and Ride Your Pony

Feb 5, 2008 |

Oooh that was tough. Seems jumping back on the writing pony after so long isn't going to be easy. Still, I soldiered my way to something that resembled output. I'll settle for that. I'm sure it'll get easier. Wasn't helped by the marvellous David Attenborough staring...

The Clock is Running

Feb 4, 2008 |

It is too easy to mask lack of progress behind an "I haven't really started yet" excuse. So, with The Beatle Man winging its way to the dark corner of a server somewhere*, it is time to finally declare that work on Terra Exitus has begun. I'll be able to look back at...

"It’s gonna be a glorious day!"

Feb 1, 2008 | ,

Fridays are normally good days. I particularly liked this one for four main reasons:1. I received the final proof copy of The Beatle Man today and have just approved it for distribution. In about 6 weeks it will be available to buy from all the regular online book...

The Unexpected Benefits of Vomit

Jan 18, 2008 |

You don't expect too many benefits from the Winter Vomiting Bug. OK, the weight loss is nice but probably not all that healthy. No, in this case I refer to last Saturday when, sadly, my daughter had been sick so we were quarantined from visting people. Because she was...
