Last year, using Google Plus, I saw quite a few profile pictures were drawings, done in a particular style, that I now know to be “Sugar Skull”. I loved the style, and thought they were very cool and unique – I wondered if there was a program out there people were using or something, like… Continue reading A reason to blog!

Netdom on Windows Server 2008 R2
Yay, it’s time for another technical post! I manage and am responsible for Active Directory for a number of customers, both public and private sector. Rather than searching my documentation to find the FSMO role holders, it’s easier to log on to a server and run “netdom query fsmo” in a command prompt.
A good movie!
I finally got around to watching Red State, a Kevin Smith film last night. I’m currently reading his book, “Tough Sh*t: Life Advice From a Fat, Lazy Slob Who Did Good“, and I guess he sold me on it.
Democracy in action?
Recently, the MP for where I live, quit his post after allegations of fiddling expenses. This has resulted in a by-election, and yesterday, I received my postal ballot papers. This is the first time since I turned 18 and gained the right to vote, that I’ve considered not voting in any election.
Twitter bites the dust
Another of my time leeches bit the dust this morning. After a little bit of hoop jumping (sooooo much less than with FaceBook), I managed to deactivate my Twitter account.
Autumn Dog Walk Pictures
I took some nice pictures in the woods today whilst on a Sunday afternoon dog walk.
Pimping my sh*t! :)
Just wanted to spread the word as far as possible that I’ve got a couple of items on eBay that I’d like to sell.
Dog walks
Went on a really nice dog walk this afternoon, just before sunset. I enjoy taking the dog at this time – I get some really awesome colours on pictures of the sunset. The header picture on this website at the time of writing is a crop from one of my pictures. Taken with an iPhone… Continue reading Dog walks
Apple iPad Mini
It probably escaped many people’s notice, but last Friday was launch day for the iPad Mini, and iPad 4th Generation. The release of the 4th Generation iPad made me a little fed up, as my 7 month old device became obsolete, but not as unhappy as a colleague who had only purchased his 3rd generation… Continue reading Apple iPad Mini
Advertisements
I’ve had a Google Adsense account for a number of years now. I’ve published their adverts on some of my other websites, and so far I’ve made a grand total of £14.01 – not even enough to trigger a payment to me. I’ve tried to make the adverts unobtrusive, and maybe that’s why there’s been… Continue reading Advertisements
