URI didn’t know that
Now they tell me. How to deal with losing your Movable Type URLs when switching to TypePad – David Ely writes a nice little tutorial.
Holiday
Shaking the dust of the city off my weary bones, I’m off to an isolated corner of Devon, so there’ll be no updates for a bit. See you in a week or so.
Busted
OK, I tried to move quicker than the Web could move and failed again. Sigh. Sorry everyone (everyone? Sorry Matt, Fabio). I had been holding off ‘officially’ telling anyone I’d moved until: a) I could finish building the new place at TypePad i.e. all my posts needed their images putting back in, bit by bit, […]
Moving house
Bear with me if I disappear temporarily shortly. I’m switching my hosting away from Verio. No doubt something will go wrong, and I’ll disappear for a bit. And also, all the usual apologies if you sent me an email in the last 3 weeks – I haven’t been checking. Really sorry. Telewest have been pretty […]
A Public Private Apology
Blogs are strange things: when you’re feeling good and therefore writing, it’s the proverbial outboard brain; when you’re not and therefore not writing, it becomes a source of guilt ("Must-update-my-blog-with-something-good").

But I wish I did have a piece to justify the headline: These bots are made for walking because I really like it. I guess that’s what Unsupported Headlines was made for. Similar to […]
JG Ballads
As Matt says, another dumb idea we had in Amsterdam: JG Ballads. Self explanatory, really. Go add your selections. I’ve long wanted to make a site for showcasing ‘ideas great enough to spend much time talking in the pub about, but too dumb to actually realise’. I guess I never will (unless … perhaps … […]
The Doors
Should I sort out my flight/hotel in time (any recommendations?), I’ll be at the Doors Of Perception conference in Amsterdam in a month or so. Do say hello if you’re going – should be good.
Normal Service Will Be Resumed Shortly
Apologies for the lack of entries here recently. It’s not that I’m not finding interesting things at the moment – far from it. I’m just deeply submerged in a particular work project until the 24th or so … More to follow, particularly on new rationalism and adaptive design notes I posted before, and which people […]
