Sucks to be me

For the past three years I’ve had rotten luck. Unlucky is not a word I’ve ever used to describe myself before, but today I realised that’s basically what I am. I can’t and won’t go in to the details here because I respect the privacy of those involved, but I will tell you what I [...]

Lack of updates

I’m kind of failing at the regular postings right now, so I thought I’d throw one out there for you.
Hoping to get something sorted in terms of furthering my career soon, which will be good going forward.
It’s just a case of getting my head down and taking opportunities when they come my way. I owe [...]

A rainy Sunday in Birmingham

We’re off to the German market in Birmingham today. It’s going to be the second year that Aimee has been and I’m hoping this year she’ll enjoy it even more than last time.
She’s turning into her own person more and more every day, so it’ll be good to see how far she’s actually come in [...]

I found where TalkTalk hid their Customer Service

After my slight rant about TalkTalk a couple of days ago, I decided to take the advice of a long suffering customer who has just started using their forum to see if it really was possible for a company to redeem themselves.
Interested in uncapping my speed up to 24mbps for £4 a month, I decided [...]

Four days of family

At 15:00 today, I finished work until 14:00 next Monday. That’s four whole days (and a bit) of me, Michelle, Sophie-Rose and Aimee.

What's happened to customer service?

Free broadband. Sounds good, doesn’t it? After a series of bad experiences with broadband over the past few years, I decided to go with TalkTalk. It meant leaving BT, perhaps the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced and just having to pay for the line rental and the calls we make.

NaNoWriMo = FAIL

I had a feeling I would have to succumb to the fact that I simply don’t have enough time to contribute to NaNoWriMo this year. The fact that Sophie-Rose was born just as I was gearing up for it has put me far too behind to catch up.
I’ve made a start, at least, and intend [...]

PCDC #1 – The Return

I said it wouldn’t be long before I managed to get a new podcast out did I? It’s a bit of an introduction this time round, with a bit of a mind dump and three great music tracks to finish it all off. More to come in the future, but as always let me know [...]

A Revisit to Podcasting

I’ve been podcasting since 2005, whatever people say. It started as an experiment and moved on to semi-big things when I joined up with PodShow and started to promote PodFest in 2006 and, although I enjoyed it, there was always something missing especially considering how much time I was putting in to editing, publishing and promoting the shows.

Back to normality

This week has been a long one. Sophie-Rose came back from hospital on Tuesday and since then it’s been non stop. Any family is keen to see a new arrival, especially after waiting so long.
