Might I Introduce My Host…?

The other day someone asked me about domain names and hosting.
After I had explained to them the basic error they made in asking me, a web-idiot, about this kind of thing, I pointed them in the direction of Weycrest.

Osmosis

I am currently in my new (rented) flat in Morningside, and I find myself the only native English speaker amongst eight of us.
Kasia (moje Kasiu!) has her family visiting us for Easter – it’s a kind of big time in the RC calendar!. This takes the total number of native Polish speakers in this house [...]

The Poo Doctor

As Martyn said in response to a BondBlokeposting…..
I’ve learnt that politics, religion, cycling and Gillian McKeith always provoke a spirited comment response
I’ve done Politics, touched on religion and just done cycling; so in order to complete the set I’d better mention “Dr” McKeith.
Too lazy on a Friday afternoon to actually write anything though, so i’ll [...]

Quiet Time

Yes. Blogging is definitely one of those cyclical things in life. There are busy times and there are quiet times.
I can justify this current quiet time by saying that I have been very busy at work at the moment as we launch a new project into the big bad world of employability in Edinburgh. I [...]
