It’s the blogtxt WordPress theme, and I’m loving the minimalist look. I particularly like the way that the two lines in the blog title crash into one another.

Vair kewl :-)

I attended the London episode of the FogBugz World Tour (more details on Dr Jan’s Tips From The Top).

If you look at Joel’s recent How To Demo Software post, there’s a photo of the audience at The British Library. Those 6 yellow pixels in the middle will be me then :-)

Check it out here:

I no longer use Blogger, I’ve switched to WordPress.

This gives me much more flexibility and control over the appearance of my blog. The main thing it does for me which Blogger doesn’t (or at least, not easily) is to provide links to the next and previous posts on permalink pages.

Categories are an additional bonus.

The main benefit though is that the whole thing is hosted on my webserver (in MySQL), so everything is in one place. Nice :-)

This blog seems to have a very calming effect on me – not just this post, but all of it (that I’ve read so far :-)

  • The template has changed slightly so that the Permalink links are more obvious
  • I’ve added a description of the blog
  • The Archive section has changed it’s name :-)

I’ve also registered at Technorati.

So, that’s nice :-)

Tomorrow I’m going with Martyn and Ruth to be fabulous at The Dorchester. We’re booked in for afternoon tea :-)

And the day after is Supercar Sunday!

Hopefully I’ll be travelling up with Martyn in the DeLorean, whilst Ruth and Avi follow in the Support Vehicle :-)

Gosh, I’ve been blogging for almost a year. Now that was unexpected! Here’s a link to my post about last year‘s Supercar Sunday.
