Time to read: 2 minutes So I’m flat-hunting. With Evernote. How does this work? I get daily alerts I’ve signed up for SpareRoom’s early bird service, so I can be allowed to contact adverts that were posted on the same day. Every day, I get emails with all the new adverts that meet my criteria. I’ve set up searches, and […] continue reading »
Time to read: 3 minutes The shortest blog post ever. I have a canned reply for adverts of flats. And I realised today that I’ve edited it nearly every other day a little bit. I’ve also edited my original “I’m looking for a room” post. Here is the updated version. If you’re bored enough, you can compare it to the […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutes Once upon a time, twitter didn’t have a RT button.

Time to read: 3 minutes I love stories. And television series are lovely little drip-fed stories with the same characters, new gags, amusing plot twists, that go on and on for 12 hours each season… but are released on an arbitrary weekly schedule and time! They’re the television equivalent of Harry Potter, Kushiel’s Dart triple-trilogy, the classic The Three Musketeers […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minute Twitter is down. And I can’t tweet about it. The shock! The horror! So I’m posting here. There’s a cute robo-monkey though. It’ll all be fine. […] continue reading »
Time to read: < 1 minute I won’t take the credit for this. I saw someone mentioning it. @themattelliott to be specific. The gist of it is that there is a little website which will take instagram photos (yours, someone else’s, from a tag, etc…) and generate a background image for you which you can stick onto twitter. This is what […] continue reading »
Time to read: 2 minutes A friend of a friend needs a website. She’s an award-winning theatre director and professor in the USA, so her website needs to convey her experience and vision. I asked her why she does what she does, why she has chosen to direct, and she said that she loves telling stories, showing relationships about people, […] continue reading »
