A little change

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

I’ve spent the last few hours tidying up the look of the blog a little.
The main changes are in the sidebar. I’ve add the Category Cloud Widget, Flexo Archives and the Get Recent Comments plugins. Reorganised the order of the sidebar items and used Ray Cheung’s free social media icons to  link to my Social profiles.  To get the most [...]

The Interesting thing is this question awakened another Aquatic Games memory in [...]

My New phone the Nokia E71

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

It seems like I’ve not had a new phone in ages. I’m not sure how long I have my K810 but I know it is getting on a bit as it’s got a fair bit of ware and tear, and the battery life is now very low. I’ve also got through about half a dozen [...]

Star Trek NERD RAGE Review

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

Saw Star Trek last night, as I mentioned in previous posts I did have a lot of mixed feelings about the film especially as it involves rewriting Star Trek History and especially that the people responsible for this re-write are the people who wrote the appalling Transformers.
