No, this isn’t a flashback to the 2003 Blogathon (where I was… reccing Harry Potter fic). Well, not much. I hadn’t read HP fic for ages and ages, but the new movie made me want to go and search some out again. Don’t know why this one did and the others didn’t. Maybe because I’m [...]

I’m not the only person to be blogging for and about bipolar during the Blogathon. There are more people blogging for other mental health issues too. I’ve already linked to a couple, but I’m going to do so again because you should visit them, and sponsor them if you can:
Cia at crazed and infused is [...]

While I’m eating my dinner, can I just point you in the direction of an excellent post that Cia made about ‘normality’. I’ve been asked a question about this by Ptyx, and I’ll give a bit of my own take shortly. But I think that Cia says it so much better than I can – [...]

As I said yesterday, one of the things I’m planning to do during the Blogathon is to talk about some of my experiences with being bipolar, and I was hoping that people would ask me any questions they have about the subject so that I could have a go at answering and maybe make some [...]

So, back in March I made some bloggy resolutions about what I intended to do for weekly posting goals. Obviously, I haven’t kept those up… and then I started feeling like I was in catch-up mode all the time with myself, and oh noes, panic!! Which is bad, since this blog isn’t supposed to be [...]

Oops again: I managed not to blog for yet another whole month, and missed my 8-year Blogoversary in the bargain (thanks for the ‘versary wishes!). So what have I been doing?
Well, I’ve done a couple of websites for my brother and another group in his year at uni, for one of their group projects [...]

Ooops, only just got this entry done. And I can’t even think of much to say. Um. It’s been a pretty average day, really. A normal one, even. I did housework*, the postman delivered the last parcel I need for Christmas (phew!), I knitted, I even wrapped one present, and [...]

I’ve spent most of today playing around with the new version (2.7) of Wordpress with a view to moving this site and blog over to using it in the new year. I love it! I liked the previous versions, but this one is even shinier, and so much more intuitive to use than [...]

So, after much faffing around, lets see if this really works. Can I post to both my blog and LJ (and Twitter, and the FB feed or status, not sure which yet)? And if so, hi LJ! I’m back!! Well, I’ll try to be at any rate. Obviously right now [...]

There’s something new around here. What could it be? *g* Nothing all that exciting actually, except a little bit to me in a geeky way: I finally got around to upgrading to Movable Type 4.1. Which is nice. You can’t tell much difference from here, except that the Blogroll didn’t [...]

Oh thank …. well, whoever that guy was in 2nd line support who finally figured out what the problem with my internets was. Which was that when BT had done some work at my local exchange on the day I lost my connection (Sat 26th), they had either deleted or not re-added (depending on what [...]
