Blogging about life as a 30 year old nerd, husband and father.
One more thing I forgot during last weeks little rant on the lesser known peculiarities of being a parent… DANGER! Kids are dangerous. Today my son has head-butted my wife three times, tried to jam a whole stick of Celery down my throat and woken me up by stamping on my man-danglies. I shit you [...]
Over night some images appeared on Twitter showing supposed evidence of people having stolen iPads and iPhones from major outlets during the London/Birmingham/Manchester riots (not Apple stores as far as I can tell… they were well protected). Anyone that partakes in these kinds of activities is wasting their time. Each store will have a list [...]

At the moment our lovely office is being invaded with bloody hoverflies! They are completely harmless, but they have me completely on edge because they are black and yellow just like wasps.

I love my wife. Dearly, more than anything in the world, but sometimes, I just don’t understand the way she works. For instance, I know that when I’m in a bad mood I’m a complete twat to be around, so rather than inflict my bad attitude on the her and my son, I tend to [...]
I’m desperate for a new iPhone. Seriously. My 3GS has slowly been dying a death, the moment, the screen is broken, the case is falling apart and the home button doesn’t function. I’m pretty much only able to make calls on it via the bluetooth functionality in my car, it is for all intents and [...]
WordPress includes functionality that allows you to set blog posts to auto publish in the future. The problem is that WordPress fakes true auto-publishing by including a file that checks for unpublished posts on page load. If you have a have a relatively low traffic blog this can mean that a post scheduled to be [...]
So, inspired by my good friend Sarah’s (aka PopLedge) recent post about caring for your curls, I thought I would take a strange diversion from my usual land of geekery and do my very own hair post! It’s been a long time, but as a teen, I was a bit of a wannabe punk geek [...]
