our past is always with us

The Internet Archive – you will not believe the number of sites indexed by this site. Type in your own domain, or a favourite site. Fascinating, and cool because they have indexed all sites – not just the big names. Just when you thought that design horror you created three years ago was gone for our past is always with us

Trying to work

…at 9 am this morning, some workmen turn up, put a generator outside my window and proceed to drill into the wall of the flat above me. This is really helping me work….

Gah! Pooters!

getting there…

..the huge project is coming together nicely. In the last few days it seems to have really started to click together, it’s great when that happens. Someone at church today said they had read my site and felt they ‘knew more about me … was that a good thing?’ It made me think for a getting there…

If you can see this …

…you are on the new server. I’m writing this and hoping that the transfer goes smoothly as I get a lot of email to this domain. I was walking down to town today to get the small person’s hair trimmed – she was looking like a sheepdog – and the pub down the road had If you can see this …
