Sacred space at Linne Bheag

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

One of the smaller Web projects that I’ve been working on over the last few months is a new website for my parents-in-law, Peter and Dorothy Neilson: Sacred space at Linne Bheag.
Weebly
It’s built using Weebly, which is a really simple to use content management system.

Fife on wheels
I can’t remember … much actually! No, I can’t remember any other new year where I’ve been clobbered with quite so many bugs as this one.
I seem to have had at least one new stomach bug or virus each month. Some months I was greedy and had at least two.
So I […]

Meeting the students

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

A nice and friendly way to begin a presentation.
About 10 months ago we launched a new website for the University.

This is a red sunset that we had a few nights ago. When I arrived home I just had to stand and marvel […]

More tea vicar

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

Today Jane and I were in Edinburgh for the baptism of our nephew Aidan.
En route we managed to buy me a really nice dinner suit (for only £95) from Slater Menswear on George Street in preparation for the National Youth Choir of Great Britain’s 25th anniversary concert at Birmingham Symphony Hall next month.
We also popped […]

High table at Andrew Melville Hall

Last night I did something I’ve not done in fifteen years: I had dinner at a University of St Andrews hall of residence.
Pizza express
Rewinding a few hours, I had just finished a lunchtime presentation about website statistics and customising our search engine when I was standing chatting with someone and nibbling on the left-overs from […]
