Crime in the UK….
Ok, maybe its my imagination but pretty much every crime program that comes out of the UK seems to be based largely in manchester or around there. I saw yet another one yesterday and it was exactly the same thing – manchester or around there – Bolton also seems quite popular a target for TV [...]

Bullying
I can’t help but think that bullying is a way more complex issue than most people think. I don’t like bullying at all – i am a fairly strong character and have pulled apart some of the people that have tried bullying me in recent years, but it wasn’t always that way. At school, i [...]

The burden of popularity.
I have a busy life. Between work and family commitments theres only a couple of hours left for sleeping, and thats not the only thing I want to do. Sometimes i need to decompress, spend alone time, watch a movie, or play a game just to detach from reality and chill. Reality is demanding! I [...]

Mass Effiect 3
I am playing Mass Effect 3, and its a pretty cool game – i am looking forward to seeing the contraversial ending – if its annoyed so many people its probably fairly good.

Lithuania
Ok I have been in Lithuania for a couple of days doing an audit of a project – basically looking at how it has been run, how well the technology has been implemented, getting a clear picture of the project status and recommending next steps to management. Although I have done this kind of thing [...]

The New iPad
So Apple have announced the new iPad before its official release. I think they’ve forgotten poor Steve Jobs who would probably be turning in his grave right now. a sneak preview kind of dispels the mysticism surrounding apples products and they’ve lost something in that – in the old days of apple techs would speculate [...]
