Good grief. Just received a very pleasant email from the good folk at Intus Healthcare, who supply me with CPAP equipment for my sleep apneoa. Turns out that Google are hassling them over a link I have in my blog sidebar. They interpret the links…

I’ll be writing more about the camera itself soon; but for now this is just to see how spherical images from the Ricoh Theta S display in WordPress as embedded images. Post from RICOH THETA. – Spherical Image – RICOH THETA By the looks of…
I’m on holiday this week. There is going to be a little retail therapy, but I am also planning to make some more inroads in clearing out the junk. A while ago, my electric piano conked out, beyond my ability to repair (plus, this was…
Over the last couple of days, there have been a small but growing number of errors reported on disk one of my NAS (RAID 1, so mirrored). I wasn’t too concerned, as it didn’t look calamitous. I had a spare disk somewhere, I would fix…

My friend Annie is organising a show this Friday, at Bishop Grosseteste University. I thought I would help get the word out. The three Bishop Grosseteste University Community Choirs (Vocal Authority, Coop Choir and Treble Cliff) are joining together to bring an evening of upbeat,…
When I was lured to Facebook, I fully intended to use it for trivial stuff and general comment, while keeping both this, my personal blog, and Food Adventure, my food blog, going. Not for the first time, I’ve found myself using FB to the exclusion…
