I am very pleased with these two quick sketches from West Kennet Long Barrow.

There’s a new tool in the box for writing these days - this post was compiled using it before being posted, and several other existing projects have been ported across. This new boy is called Scrivener.

Not only is email the most intrusive distractor of focused task completion, but it’s a grand excuse to choose not to focus. Control over tasks is about just that: control. A permanently open email client is anything but control. Emails pop in at any [...]

I currently use .mac as an additional backup for some of my most essential files, such as business and personal accounts, passwords and logins, etc., but I get nowhere near using the broader offering of .mac. I’ve therefore been on the lookout for a viable, more cost effective alternative - yes, that means possibly dropping [...]
