  • Imperialism

    Thoughts  · 

    I find myself increasingly uncomfortable with aspects of the “British Empire”.

  • Busy week

    Journal  · 

    This has been a very busy week. Work has been really enjoyable; it’s been around eight months since I started this job, and finally I’m starting to feel a bit like I’m “cooking on gas” a bit. Enough of the pieces of the puzzle are fitting together that I am able to make a bit more timely progress.

  • Last day of janathon

    Journal  · 

    Woo hoo, it’s my last day of Janathon today. I did an hour of yoga this evening. Yesterday’s blog post was out the window on the basis that I was working until cough AM and just couldn’t face it. So you are all probably desperate to know what my activity was then - circuits and yoga, in a nutshell.

  • Miles (janathon day 29)

    Journal, Janathon  · 

    A day in two parts. The easy bit was at the start, with a bit of rowing and weights (pulled something doing squats, really annoying) then a quick stint in the spa.

  • Tired (janathon day 25)

    Journal, Janathon  · 

    One of my least favourite sleep-related events is the kind when for some reason I end up going to bed really late, but console myself with the idea that I’ll have a bit of a lie-in to compensate, only to find that the universe has other plans. This happened last weekend when my late-night sleep deprivation was exacerbated by a...

  • Today (janathon day 24)

    journal  · 

    It’s been a busy work / other things today. Today’s blog post is really an article I put up on my site about SEO, but I might as well just explain that it was my first day in London of the year, which I really enjoyed. I enjoy commuting (Endor is good!), I like my work colleagues and yoga...

  • SEO

    Article, SEO  · 

    Here’s a bullet-point action list I wrote a while ago about specifically how to improve your Google rankings. Note: it takes a certain amount of time and work, there is no quick fix. Here goes:
