A presentation I did

A while back, I did a presentation about WordPress at CamCreative – where I had a lovely time and met some wonderful people.

The sticker appeal update

So here’s where we are with the Greatest Filing Cabinet Known To Man challenge. As I get more, I’ll update this list of links: First up were a load of stickers from a very old copy of The Guardian, which I found at the bottom of a drawer. They were dinosaurs. Ace! Next, the legally [...]

An appeal for non-dinosaur stickers

Filing cabinets: one of the best things about business. They make a nice “clunk” noise and there’s a space to hide biscuits in them, if you ever have enough biscuits to hide (which I don’t). The only thing which could possibly be wrong with a filing cabinet is overwhelming brownness….
