I’ve delivered simple, clear and easy-to-use services for 20 years, for startups, scaleups and government. I write about the nerdy bits here.

Porridge this morning. I’m not usually a porridge person but it looked warming. I went to microwave it and laughed when the finished message displayed on it’s screen (“Meal is ready”) as I had extrapolated “ready” before it scrolled across the screen to be “Readymix” (that is, a cement company in Australia and various other countries). It was surprisingly nice for the thick brown-grey coloured substance that it is.
Let me take this opportunity to remark that I’ve never seen One True Layout working satisfactorily apart from the instance wherein it was originally demonstrated. It is singularly the most frustrating, impotent, over-rated, and deceptively-named CSS technique ever published. No offense.
And was contemplating writing variously about potential reasons why, but then decided that I couldn’t be bothered and didn’t know enough about her anyway. That said, I still don’t think I’m Virginia Woolf (if only on account of my being male, decidedly straight, and opposed in some way or another to the influence of feminism upon society, even recognising Woolf’s own objection to that term).
Awesome service, but I just checked out how much it cost me. Was on the phone whilst away for two minutes and nine seconds, and it cost a little over $12. Ouch.
Here’s the good stuff. Or at least the condensed photo-narrative version of events as told by my camera. For a more full version of things head over to my Orient Point Flickr photoset.
