I've posted a blog talking about o2 and the lead up to the iPhone 4 release. Lots of comments so far, check it out!

This is a blog post about my personal coffee drinking habits, and how my coffee making tools have changed over the years! It's more interesting than it possibly sounds....

"I’ve always been a coffee drinker, ever since I was ‘old enough’. Don’t get me wrong, a nice cup of tea is absolutely fantastic, and there are times when only tea will do; after a crisis, when you’ve got a big decision to make, when it’s Tuesday; you know, the important stuff......"

Just a quick update - as I was doing some fiddling with the site yesterday, I've managed to ruin the code that was connected to my paypal page for clients to be able to pay. I'm getting this sorted by my web techie so bear with me until this is fixed. Obviously this only affects people paying me via PayPal, BACS etc is all still fine. Should be back to normal very soon.

I've posted a new article on my seperate blog - My Gob Is My Job.

This one's entitled "Working In A Heatwave!" 

You can read it here:

I've now got round to creating a proper separate blog site to take care of my day to day ramblings, to free up this News section for news about me workwise and site development etc.

So may I introduce you to a totally revamped blog, from scratch, for your perusal. "My Gob Is My Job.com"

Well, after a series of good announcements from Apple at this year's WWDC event in San Francisco, it seems Apple/o2 have stirred up massive controversy. With purportedly huge upgrade fees for iPhone 3G users to upgrade to the new iPhone '3G S', it doesn't look like there'll be many people queuing this time round!

On first reports, handset cost (on my tariff) works out to about £170. I don't mind that due to the massive 32GB storage plus the new hardware features, but with the requirement to pay upwards of £250 to end early the existing contract seems lunacy....I certainly won't be queuing up at 5am this time! (Not that I did before, mind you......../ahem)

There's a torrent of despair running through the vestibules of Twitter and the like, with very unhappy o2/iPhone customers venting their spleens about this mad pricing. Time will tell if o2 are prepared to rethink their strategy on this one.....

Just realised that I've not updated the blog for a fair while.....whoops!

Things have been rather busy recently, lots of different things in the pipeline with different people, and some very exclusive exciting projects which will be coming your way very soon.

As things had become quite mad, I took the last week off down in Cornwall....and now as I look out the window on a very hot and sunny Monday afternoon, I'm wishing I was back here again! :

As you will have hopefully noticed, there have been some new changes to the website - hopefully now you'll find it a bit more intuitive. I must admit, I'm having a couple of second thoughts as to where a couple of the sections should go! However, fear not, they won't be far away. On every page underneath the monkey, you'll be able to see an image where you can sign up to my monthly podcast/news mailshot. Feel free to sign up, as you'll get exclusive offers and freebies coming your way, as well as news and top tips, all in podcast form.

To dispel any worries, I'm just like you - I hate receiving spam, so you definitely won't get that from me. Your data is also always going to be protected, and it will not be sold on to any third party.

What a turn up for the books! Just as soon as I thought the weather was beginning to change for the better, what do we get?? A good dose of the white stuff.

Now, I'm no friend of snow at the best of times, but today was just ridiculous. I had a meeting booked for this morning across town, which I could easily have got to, but as other people were coming from further afield for the meeting as well, it was cancelled first thing.

So I've been tucked inside waiting for it to melt, just getting on with stuff on the computer. Now having been told there's more to come, I'm even more unhappy about it!

Bring on the summer.....less of this stuff, pleeease!

As you'll probably have noticed, the site's had a few slight tweaks in the last few days - a couple of pages have moved round and are now located in a couple of drop-down menus. Hopefully you've found what you're looking for easier, as I start to get the site performing a little more intuitively.

There are further developments soon to be implemented, including a recent projects section and an all-new podcasts section, where you can download our monthly podcast in mp3 form, and get the link through iTunes.

I'll update you more as and when these changes happen, to keep you in the loop, and where to find them.
