Economy. Stupid.
I love it when this thing forces me to think.

Ten years of MSDN Magazine could be yours!
I have ten years of Microsoft Systems Journal / MSDN Magazine (Oct 1997 to Feb 2007) taking up space in my house. The local universities have (wisely) declined my offer to donate them.

Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate

Blog.Reset()
Well, this post has been a long time coming. Back in November ‘05 I really didn’t know whether I wanted to bother with this blog. A young family and work commitments meant that I had very little time to write the kind of longer posts that I tried after previous hiatus. Really, I found myself [...]
