Back again…

by Steve Dangerfield on August 13, 2010

My last post was in February of this year.  Job hunting (and then working) and other family commitments have got in the way of blogging and many other projects. 
I’m not making excuses just stating a reason; i’m well aware that most people can do most things but no one can do everything.
So, over the past few [...]

New Years Resolutions and Objectives setting

by Steve Dangerfield on January 8, 2010

Have you broken any New Years Resolutions yet? Go on be honest…
Well I’m pleased to say that I haven’t.  Why? Because I haven’t set any.
For 99.99999% of people NYRs are pointless and don’t work; they know this already!  This is because they expect a big change to occur at a preset date and time which [...]

by Steve Dangerfield on December 24, 2009

Back in September of this year I described how I make Sloe Gin and I am pleased to say that it’s ready for bottling.  Actually, as I write this post I have bottled some of it and a few friends and family have tried it.  Some people like Sloe Gin and they liked mine, some [...]

by Steve Dangerfield on December 5, 2009

I’ve been a Blackberry user for over two years now and love the ability to email and browse the web with a querty keyboard wherever I can get a signal. I know there are lots of phones that have similar capabilities but Blackberry’s seem to do it for me and although I’m happy [...]

DailyMile

December 3, 2009

I’ve been using the DailyMile website for a few months now and thought I’d feature it in my blog.
After a few years of near-Zero exercise (some gardening, home DIY, and occasional Wii sports) I felt I needed to start some form of exercise. For me gym memberships don’t work; I don’t get much enjoyment [...]

Sloe Gin 2009

September 27, 2009

I’m having a go at making Sloe Gin again this year. In 2007 I made my first batch of Sloe Gin which was quite successful and went down very well and very quickly with family and friends. 2008 was a bad year for Sloes due to the wet summer we had [...]

Book Review: The Google Story

August 20, 2009

Just finished reading The Google Story and thought I’d write a review. The Google Story written by David A. Vise is another one of my charity shop finds.
The book does what it’s title says and takes you through the life of Google from conception to now, and the kinds of challenges popular growing services and [...]

Never Assume Anything without recording a risk

June 22, 2009

I’ve heard many people say “Never assume anything!” in response to someone saying “I assumed …” just after something has gone wrong. I’ve had the same thought jump from the back of my mind as soon as I think “we’ll have to assume…”.
Over the past few weeks I’ve been working at getting a [...]
