Sunday Morning Loud Lawnmowers
Sep 3, 2007 | zeitgeist
I cut the hedge yesterday. More remarkable than you would imagine. But as I did it, a vague idea for this blog post started to solidify. Its all about progress, more of the hedge later.Everything progresses, everything moves forward, we try to make everything better....
Puzzle People of the World Unite
Aug 28, 2007 | showcase
Since the disappearance of Puzzle Donkey there has been a big hole in the puzzlers life. Sure, there is Sudoku and Nonogram sites aplenty but nothing that really gave the same sense of quest, of progress of, well, frankly, eye-bleeding frustration. For this reason, it...
Ever Since I’ve Been Completely Addicted To Cities
Aug 20, 2007 | zeitgeist
I have, for some time, been fascinated with cities. I can't quite put my finger on why but there is something about the complexity of a city that makes you think "How can that all work?" Cities to me to be huge complex organisms, massive consumers of food and power,...
The Hidden Millions of the E-Commerce Economy
Aug 12, 2007 | Technology
I've calculated that if I live to somewhere near 1000 I might make £1M from my E-Commerce 'empire'. I have played with a number of 'revenue' streams over the years, never seriously, but mainly just to find out about how they work. This has lead to me having large...
Sign O’ The Times
Aug 8, 2007 | zeitgeist
Just watched Man U win 7-0. Funny thing was it was two games simultaneously. I watched Man U Vs Glentoran on TV and Man U Vs Dunfermline streamed live on the laptop.First of all, its was an odd experience watching two games simulataneously but it was entirely possible...

Indolent
Aug 2, 2007 | zeitgeist
Clip, clop, ring, knock, ring, Stop mithering! As a man once said. And suddenly the blog erupts in frustration. I'm out of energy at the moment and the list of things I want to do sits before me, fetid and irritating.I've got excuses. Of course. I was in London last...
Plotting…
Jul 19, 2007 | Writing
Slowly and surely they drew their plans against us*. I've done very little work of an evening, there is no denying it. I think I need my holiday which, luckily, arrives next week. The plot for Terra Exitus is moving along but I'm struggling with the fact I can let go...
Electronically Tagged
Jul 19, 2007 | zeitgeist
It has been brought to my attention that I have been 'tagged'. Seems to be some devilish Web 2.0 nonsense that I really shouldn't darken my door with but, since I am devoid of creativity, I will allow it. (Although it does seem a little ridiculous). Although finding 8...
Even more photo usage
Jul 11, 2007 | Photography
Described by Stuart as a lazy man's blog content, some more photo usage. I like to think of it as more of a thankyou for people who have taken the time to let me know how/where they have used my photos. So, with that, here are some more:Feeling healthy?Feeling Web...

Busy doing nothing, working the whole day through. Which is the problem I suppose. Still, after a brief pause to well, laze about, I'm off and running with the Terra Exitus plan. I've still not convinced Stuart that it is worth writing, but I'm ploughing on anyway. I...

Jul 1, 2007 | Technology
As my reader will know, I have a website LazyWebTools that hosts a number of small tools, the most used of which is a simple and free Automatic Page Refresher. I check out the website hits every now and then and, for the most part, it is gamers and the like.For a...

Sometimes I feel I little torn. During a favourite and frequent pastime (listening to music repeatedly clicking the Stumble button) I arrived at this Wikipedia page.And then I arrive at an oft repeated conundrum. I am torn between two opinions:"Oooh, that's quite...
In no way, shape or form
Jun 13, 2007 | zeitgeist
"In no way, shape or form"Listen up people, PLEASE stop saying this useless phrase. It is driving me mad.One of "way", "shape" or "form" is enough. Really. It is.Thanks, I appreciate your cooperation. Coz if you don't I'll drive over your head in my car, vehicle or...
Broke the rules…
Jun 7, 2007 | Writing
Ok, I said I wouldn't write any of the new book until I finished The Beatle Man. And I suppose that's true. It is 'finished'. Its just that really should be sorting out a decent synopsis. But I've got a cold and I'm really not in the mood. So I wrote this instead. The...

Jun 6, 2007 | Writing
And so we arrive here. At the edge of a cliff.After many years of toil, the manuscript of my first novel is ready to submit. Which simply means I'm sick of the sight of it. But I think that's normal. I found as I did the last two readthroughs that you enter a...
The Ethics of Medical Research
May 28, 2007 | zeitgeist
There is probably a rule (unwritten or otherwise) somewhere that says you are probably best not to blog about things about which you have no knowledge or experience. Come to think of it, there probably isn't, so on we go.Driving home last week I was listening to some...

As you get older, although you are aware of your gradual change in appearance, I'm not sure if you ever stop looking outside from behind your eyes with younger eyes. There comes a point, unbeknownst to you, when other people look at you at start to thing, there's a...
