LJ Posting Test
Posted over at http://www.houlden.org/wp-blog/. *waves* at LJ, if it gets through.
Getting Started
So, this site now has WordPress installed. I have a few different blogs, on Live Journal, Blogger and WordPress.com, but I want to consolidate them on a site that I own. Surname.com or surname.org domains don’t come up very often so I grabbed mine before it got nicked by a cybersquatter company. I know personal… Continue reading Getting Started
Wibble
Still here, but mostly in read only mode. Did we all have a good Christmas then?
Life & stuff
So, how are we all doing? I know updates here have been pretty non-existent this year, but I’m pretty active elsewhere, and the longer you leave it, the harder it gets (fnarr).

Not dead yet!
These days I spend so much more time on Facebook and Twitter that I know I haven’t updated here for months.

Lookalikes #notw
With the News of the World hacking scandal getting even more interesting I noticed the similarities between this pair of rogues. One is a puppet who acts on the direct orders of a shadowy boss whose only interest is power, and the other is a character in a Harry Potter film.
Tickling the Ivories
Haven’t exactly been keeping up to date with LJ, even if I do read my friends page several times a day. It’s easy to get out of the habit of things. However one thing I’m getting back into is music. When I was about 3-4ish my parents got a cheap upright piano (mostly wooden frame)… Continue reading Tickling the Ivories
Shocking Behaviour
For reasons I’m not going into in a public post, getting probate on my dad’s estate is taking a long time. Most of the organizations owed money were happy to put things on hold and hang in there, but not E.ON Energy. When I notified them of my dad’s death they wanted a copy of… Continue reading Shocking Behaviour
