…you should see her actual birthday present: It’s 1.2m long. Teehee.

I bought “The Art of SEO” while I was on maternity leave with my daughter, but funnily enough found little time to read it. It turns out babies don’t just lie around sleeping all day… who knew? Anyway, following my return to work I’ve invested time in compiling a list of books I’ve not read… read full entry »

Isabel turned 1 on Sunday. Crazy to think it has been a year since my world was turned upside down by a warm pink bundle of goo. It makes me all broody for more babies just thinking about it :D Anyway, to celebrate her birthday we had family over and ate crisps, sausage rolls, jelly… read full entry »

Ben asked: what was the very first thing that you did which got you into web development? Neopets. Hahahaha. Yes, sad but true. I wanted as many trophies as I could get for my user lookup, and one of them was the pet page thing… I figured I could learn HTML, create an awesome pet… read full entry »

So. You know you have a big case of the lazies when you procrastinate over the original procrastination thingy. Now I’m here avoiding some JavaScript which is currently eating my brains. Vera asked: When’s the next Pants Award due? When I find a suitable site that inspires me… bored of teenyboppers now. Amelie asked: If… read full entry »

I’m procrastinating taking a break from studying… so ask me a question. Deep and meaningful, personal, web-related, whatever. Go! I’ll answer them in a post or two over the next few days (depending on how many I get)
