It is almost September and I’m already getting emails trying to claim a date for a Christmas Party. ‘Date Claiming’ has become a very common occurrence in my inbox of late, and I must admit to finding the habit a little presumptuous. While it seems like a smart idea on the surface to get the [...]
The world is really big. But regardless of how big the world is, we can’t all live in the same place. There just isn’t room.
The world is so big, in fact, that it has up to 39 different time zones. Hey, my country alone has seven. In order to organise all these time zones, there [...]

Sometimes the post shows up hours later, and sometimes it takes days. This also used [...]
I had a lovely post all written out regarding my experiences with GTD-PHP over the last few weeks, but I’m currently having problems getting firefox to load pages correctly. Inevitably, just as I hit the ‘publish’ button, the whole thing happens again and I lose my post.
