Near-Death Experience What happened last night was almost like deja-vu. I’ll tell you why, but first I want to remind you computer buffs of the ‘Blue Screen of Death’. Do you remember those? I have had a few over the last thirty-five years. For those who don’t know them – the few lucky ones – …
Hearing Deficiencies It’s funny. My parents always predicted, from the day that I bought my first album, Deep Purple In Rock, that I would be hard of hearing or even deaf by the time I reached their age, which would have been about thirty-five. I spent the following thirty years going to insanely loud rock …
Increase Sales By Blogging A business blog, in the right hands, is a very powerful Internet advertising tool. It is flexible, it can be used to convey any views you like; it can reach a worldwide audience and it can help you compile a mailing list of surfers who are interested in your business and …
Effective Ways To Start Blogging Everybody has something to say and most people are passionate about something that they want to talk on. Some want to take this desire to communicate a few stages further – they want to tell the world about it. That was impossible less that twenty years ago, unless you managed …
Books and Newspapers I am not going to claim that this idea is revolutionary or even new, but it occurred to me yesterday that the main difference between books and newspapers is fact and ideas. A friend was telling me that he gave up reading books years ago and only reads free online publications these …
Inspiration We are six days into NaNoWriMo 2015, and my novel is coming on quite well. I have written about nineteen thousand words in five chapters. However, ‘A Night in Annwn’ far from written. I suppose I am about thirty-five percent through it and looking for more inspiration. This is the stage in writing a …
Smoked Salmon I wish that I could say ‘Thank God it’s Friday!’ with some conviction, but the truth of the matter is that all the days are the same where I live. Most of them anyway. I had a rare visit from one of my oldest friends yesterday, a Canadian by the name of Murray …
NaNoWriMo Entry 2015 I think I have my NaNoWriMo Entry for 2015. I don’t mean that I have written it, that would be against the rules, as entrants are not allowed to even begin writing until tomorrow, but I have the title, and that is always the first step for me. I’m not sure that …
Village Life This is becoming monotonous, sorry. It’s been a week now… up and down more often than knickers in a city’s public toilets. I’m sick to death of the crappy Internet ‘Service’ in this village. I don’t want to take part in village life here any longer. I mean that, nobody complains about anything, …
New Story Isn’t it funny? Before, when I was office manager for our family construction firm, I always had dozen things to do a day, now I think it’s a lot if I have seven a week! The tasks take longer to complete now though, in general, like finding a new story to write. I …
A Big Day For Buddha In my wife’s parlance, today is a big day for Buddha. Even after ten years of living together, we have not found a better way of saying it, although that is probably my fault. The phrase ‘a big day for Buddha’ says it all anyway. In fact, it is the …
More of the Same Reading my recent posts must be becoming as boring and predictable as my Internet reception is for me! It is just more of the same! Unfortunately, the story today is also more of the same. Last night the signal was strong, as it was this morning, and then, all of a …
No Internet Connection I really want to apologise to all the people I work with on the Internet for letting them down so often this week, but my Internet connection has been shockingly bad. One bad day is unusual, but this is the fourth in a row and it is driving me insane. It was …
The Solution As my regular readers will know, life has been pretty frustrating for me for the last couple of days, but last night the thought occurred to me that the reason why Amazon and Facebook might be behaving oddly was the image driver because they are heavy users of images. So, I told my …
Dreary Day That dreary problem with the Internet seemed to be over this morning and I got three new versions of Lek up (new covers and updated interiors). It would normally have taken thirty minutes each, but I didn’t mind spending three hours on the job. Then, shortly after six a.m. the dreary problem started …
The Lek Series I call it the Lek series, although it is always billed as the ‘Behind The Smile’ series, which is its official title. It is just that the name Lek trips off the tongue more easily, and after writing about her for ten years, I am more comfortable calling her by name. In …
Revenue To paraphrase a TV advert of many years ago concerning my current revenue, I ain’t never seen a year like this one and I never want to again neither. Based on previous years’ figures and the fact that my stock of books keeps increasing as I write more every year, in January, I was …
Choose Your Web Site Host Carefully I have had many hosts for my web sites since the first one I made for our old construction firm in 1995, which I hosted on the now long-defunct Geocities, because it had an ‘easy’ method of building them. We were only there a short while, and I build …
