Another day, another dollar. Blogging with Microsoft Word does make this whole process easier. The new facility, here, is a really good development. But what about Categories for Blogger? When are we going to see that development appear? Blogger did a user survey recently – when are we going to get feedback, and what are … Read more
Sometimes life just gets in the sights, and the time for communicating beyond the face to face shrinks away so that there is nothing left. No blogging for a couple of weeks now. I read in many places that bloggers shouldn’t apologise for not blogging. It’s like starting a speech with “unaccustomed as I am … Read more

Sometimes sleep deprivation just creeps up and whacks you on the back of the head. Today is one of those days. Wow!
OK, it’s a defined law of computing that things go really well for a while, so you stop backing up your posts before sending them to the weblog. Then, just as you put the finishing touches to a great post, and hit the publish button, blogger decides to crash and lose your post. I have … Read more
