My take on Google Plus

What all the fuss is about!

What all the fuss is about!

 

So this Google Plus is the new black right? I may not be a devoted follower of fashion, but as a full on Neophile I cannae resist a new technology-ey thing! And seeing as all the cool kids are on Google Plus (all right none of the cool kids, but all the geeks, nerds and internet weirdos are!) I was desperate to give it a go.

Thanks to an internet pal Mr603 of Unmemorable Title, an SEO guru (Yay!) and a big Leeds United fan

Why you should always backup up cloud data

Looking back I probably ought to have seen the warning signs, things that indicated Weycrest were not the gold standard of webhosting. There were some problems with their own website and when I tried to contact them to ask them a question about WordPress they didn’t answer me.

Still I needed a cheap webhost for my new blog, and they seemed very reasonable, so I signed up and started my blog.

Now the thing I really kick myself about was that a week or so after signing up and uploading my blog

Kick-Ass, does exactly what it says on the tin.

To say I have been looking forward to Kick Ass would be something of an understatement. Firstly I am a big, BIG fan of Mark Millar who is one of the most interesting comic book writers around in my humble opinion. His Marvel work is tip top, Wanted is a great “creator owned Comic”. He is also responsible for probably my favourite ever “One Shot” comic the DC Elseworlds tale “Red-Son” (In which Superman lands in Soviet Russia rather than Kansas).

As well as having a huge amount of respect for

Don’t rush the Digital Economy bill.

Today the controversial “Digital Economy Bill” will get a brief second reading in the house of commons in order that it can be rushed through in the parliamentary “mop up procedures” and become law.

That the Bill is being rushed through is hugely controversial, given some of the fundamental changes it introduces. On the one hand you have the BPI (Recording Industry Association) and the Trade Union led Creative Coalition Campaign calling for a speedy introduction. On the other hand there is a broad coalition of activists campaigning against the bill

Cool web 2.0 stuff….

love the internet, and technology etc… I am a bona fida geek so all the web 2.0 stuff I lap up. And therefore I thought I would do a quick blog on some of the stuff I have enjoyed this week.

Twit Chat.

Earlier in the week I took part in a “twitchat” organised by The Howard League who campaign for penal reform. This twitchat is where they are conducted an interview with someone in real time on in twitter. Their campaign for “less crime, safer communities and fewer people in prison.

Weekend in Bristol

Well to sort of test out my new blog I thought I ought to blog about something that really could not have appeared on my Union blog. So this will be my “What I did on my holidays” one….

So not a proper holiday, but as I has Friday off as annual leave I thought I would go to Bristol to stay with my brother. I had a few priorities, these centred around wanting to eat nice food, and bake a cake….. I know what a hellman I am eh?

So anyway first order
