Onwards and upwards?

Posted on June 23, 2020 by

First, a small apology – things have been stupidly busy lately, about which more in a forthcoming post, so I’m afraid I’ve not been terribly assiduous when it comes to updating the blog. These things happen! In fact, it’s being … Continue reading →

Much ado about something

Posted on February 24, 2020 by

We live in interesting times! I can’t say that I’m surprised that Linden Lab have thrown in the towel for Sansar – I imagine it’s been on the cards for quite some time, and they’ve just been waiting for the … Continue reading →

You have reached your… er, destination?

Posted on February 7, 2020 by

Clicking about

Posted on January 20, 2020 by

Talk talk

Posted on January 25, 2019 by

Strip away the glitz and glamour, all the mesh and fripperies, the shopping and dancing, the building and the bonking from SL and you’re left with what was once the staple diet of the internet – chat. In fact, all … Continue reading →

Unpredictable

Posted on December 31, 2018 by

I’m sorry Dave

Posted on November 16, 2018 by

Somebody famous died this week in, their nineties; somebody who influenced the way we interpret the world around us and whom most of us can quote without even thinking about it. And it wasn’t Stan Lee. This person, who passed … Continue reading →

You’d be home by now

Posted on November 5, 2018 by

Intruder alert!

Posted on October 20, 2018 by

Hi. Is that technical support? I have a problem with my monitor. Yes, it’s working just fine, but there is a bit of an issue with it. Well, there’s a smudge on the screen. No, it’s clean – no fingerprints, … Continue reading →
