Things have been pretty quiet round here post-wise. No particular excuses other than laziness and the fact I’ve been busy on other things, including going on
a wonderful trip to Shetland. Also, I’m not very good at disciplining myself to write regularly;
Flickr and my
del.icio.us bookmarks tend to provide more an overview of what I’m up to. I don’t know why, I really enjoy writing, but there you are.
Anyway, I’ve decided to bring my blog back into my own site as I think it makes more sense. I’ll get round to skinning it so it looks like the rest of the site but for now I can live with the default template.
I’ve managed to procure some Plone hosting so I’m shortly going to get to work setting up a new site. This will effectively be my “commercial arm”, Little Web Creations, and I’ll move references to my consultancy / freelance work to it. It’s a Plone 3 site too, so I’m really dreading looking forward to getting it skinned.
I’ve actually got some posts relating to Zope and Plone which I’d better get on and write.
Before I do that, I was just looking through some of my old lamentable posts and re-read the one about wanting an iPod Touch, or really an alternative to it, sad individual that I am. I plumped for an Archos 605 Wifi in the end. I’ve been pretty impressed with it so far, but the jury’s still out a bit on it, especially given the stupid amount of money I’ve had to spend on plugins (browser, video podcast plugin, TV dock and mini-dock, the latter which I’ve lost already). My advice — if you’re getting one of these the only things which are essential are the browser (what’s the use of having Wifi without a browser) and the mini-dock (for quick recharging). I’d leave the TV dock alone unless you really want to record TV programmes on to it.
Right, let’s get cracking.
