I’ve spent my Easter weekend in London with Faye. She has a exhibition at the Proud Central Gallery (Open for the next two weeks!). I traveled from Aberystwyth to Faye’s home in Carmarthen on Friday, then from Carmarthen to Cardiff by car on Saturday, then Cardiff to London on the MegaBus. Saturday was the opening, and it went very well indeed!

I spent Sunday in London too, walking around shops and generally seeing the London sites. I still marvel at the London Underground, I think it is an awesome service, I love it!
I’m also marvelling at the state of modern technology. I love that I can hook my phone up to my laptop for internet use, which is what I’m doing at the moment, whinging my way down some train tracks out of London Paddington while writing this blog post. I think its brilliant!

Anyhoo, off home to Melksham now. Will be seeing family and friends for the next week or so, as well as trying to tidy my dissertation code.

Ever wanted to store stuff online but couldn’t afford web hosting?  If so, Dropbox is your answer!

Dropbox offers both free and paid for storage online, the free storage has a limit of 2GB, whereas paid sotrage has a limits of 50GB and 100GB depending on how much you want to pay.

If you use the free option, you’ll start off with so much storage, and if you invite friends to join the sservice, Dropbox will add more storage to your account!

OK, so back in July I posted my praises of Google Reader and RSS technology.  Today however, I’m not so sure.  I’ve been without Internet for a couple of weeks, and look at my Google Reader:

Yes, it would appear I’m becoming a little more Web 2.0 compliant…I now use RSS and Google Reader.  For years I couldn’t understand why you would want RSS, I had bookmarks and could click on them and look at the site myself, but there’s something about having everything in one place which is very nice.

Why does one start to write a blog? I know why I started mine, I wanted some representation on the web which was a bit more organised than the sites I tend to cobble together…Did I share much with you all?  Looking back, no.  OK, so I’ve blogged about at least one thing every month…But that’s just it, some months I’ve completely neglected this site… Read the rest of this entry »
