So I’m thinking of actually setting myself up as a business to deal with the freelance stuff I’ve got coming in (particularly given that I’m spending a fair bit of time developing my abilities with Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks to the kind of level I’ve got with InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator). As a designer I’m [...]

For those that are interested, the change in the name of this blog is a masking thing. I’m hoping to prevent potential employers googling my name and coming up with pseudo-literary outpourings (incidentally, did you see that the other prominent person with my name on ‘the Google’ is nicknamed ‘Partyman’ and is a DJ on [...]

Just as Agatha is one of my laptops (the one I’m using now, as a matter of fact, and Oscar is another, so Eric is my skateboard (until just half an hour ago, my beloved skateboard. But more on that story in a moment.) I’m not sure where my propensity to name my possessions comes [...]

All right, I’m ready to admit it. I’m down about hunting for jobs (note: not ‘depressed’ – I don’t believe that even the most protracted of job hunts can lead to that kind of misery). So far I’ve submitted something in the region of 20 applications and had one (that’s *one*) interview. I have no [...]

Wow. Not only am I a day late on this, I’m also totally unqualified to write about it. I was going to do what normal bloggers and armchair economists do in this case: read news sites and other blogs, cherry pick the stuff that they agree with (which in my case is anything with the [...]

I’ve just come across satirical blog http://liberalsmustdie.com. Normally I’m all about the trolling and baiting right-wing nutjobs, but this just isn’t working for me.
For starters, it’s not actually that funny. At least not by the time you’ve read the exact same jokes in three consecutive posts. Rednecks are big fans of God, you say? Some [...]

It’s not that I don’t love going over the reasons why I had to put my long-term dream on hold whenever I see someone I haven’t seen in a while, honestly. I’m actually a big fan of being thought of as a highly disorganised flake, big fan. It’s just that I’ve got the story down [...]

Just a quick one, still tired out from the exertions of writing so much earlier…
When I’m at home with little or nothing to do I find myself staying up late, reading and watching the teevee. This is a bad idea, and ought to stop. Why’s that? Well I tend to watch wrestling first off, which [...]

Most of this week has been taken up with worrying about things that I can’t change. Specifically: McCain ahead in the polls by about 3 points (yes, I realise that polls bounce up and down after veep picks and conventions; yes, I know that this can largely be attributed to Palin ‘bringing home the base’; absolutely, [...]
