This is just a test post – we’re doing some blog tracking research at work, and we need to see if it’s working. So The Point is a community arts building in the heart of Doncaster.

OK, So UnConventions are Tiring…

In: Life| Work Stuff

8 Jun 2009

I’m back from UnConvention! Well, actually, I came back on Saturday night, but I’ve been pretty much asleep ever since.
I have to say, it was brilliant! Kinda what I was expecting but kinda not. For example, the very first person I met was Andrew Dubber (@dubber), closely followed by Johnny Beirne (@johnnybeirne) and Tracey Dempsey [...]

We’re All Off To The #Unconvention Centre!

In: Online Music| Work Stuff

30 May 2009

Next week I’m off to my first ever music conference. I’m going to Unconvention in Salford – the music conference with a difference and pies (and now cake, too, apparently!) Basically it’s a grass roots conference dealing with current music industry issues… illegal downloading, the way forward for small labels, etc. Should be good!
The thing [...]

DNS will be the death of me

In: Tech| Work Stuff

3 Apr 2008

Well, I hope not, obviously… I hope it’s ravenous sex with a beautiful woman when I’m about 70, but you get the idea.
I’ve just spent the last god knows how long trying to sort out the nameservers for my new dedicated server. See, it worked… but not a lot.
I’d got the server working, and some [...]

Finally… a point to RSS!

I’ve just signed up for a new hosting account with DreamHost (www.DreamHost.com). They’ve been recommended by a couple of people, and I’ve been wanting to move my PHP stuff to a new host for a while.
As you may be aware, I’m a .NET programmer – but I use a PHP/MySQL/Wordpress solution for my blogs. M6 [...]

I have… A Job!

In: Life| Work Stuff

8 Jun 2007

Yep, that’s right. Today I finally moved to the dark side and started a proper job. Yes that’s right, you know where you have to actually GO to work, and you’re on PAYE (Pay As You Earn).
It’s quite novel actually, I’ve never had a proper job before. Admittedly it’s only 1 day per week, but [...]

Orichalcum – World of Brass (pt. 1)

In: Work Stuff

5 Jun 2007

For the past couple of months I’ve been working on a web design and branding exercise for a client, Jim Stretton. I was introduced to Jim by another Jim (there’s a lot of Jim’s round Doncaster..) as “the man who can fix any computer”. Not a bad accolade, but I then had to live up [...]
