…and we’re back!

Wow! What a crazy few days. I’ve been suffering from a nasty head cold while struggling to get this blog up and running again. It was the website equivalent of pounding it with a defibrillator, willing it to stay alive. I’m pleased to say that the operation was successful and it looks like the patient [...]

Temporary Issues

OK, so the blog is broken. All that spam has caused my hosting company to suspend the account, meaning I can’t access it via ftp.
In the meantime, I’ve moved hosts and set-up the blog again. I’m just waiting to import the past 4 years of posts to get it all back to normal! Currently, this [...]

Dear God

Dear God is a website where people send in their ‘prayers’ to be posted on the site. Similar to the creative confessional Postsecret, the site allows people to express their emotions and sentiments to whatever higher power they believe in.
It doesn’t matter what your version of God is… Jesus, Allah, Buddha or simply a spiritual [...]

Email Issues

Just a quick post to apologise to those who’ve tried to email me over the past week. Apparently my mail account was deleted on my domain and everything was getting bounced back to senders. I’ve no idea what fantastic messages I missed, so feel free to resend anything interesting.
Things are back to normal [...]

The Blog Awards

On Friday we spent a fantastic evening at the Parish Church of St. Stephen Walbrook (home of the London Internet Church) for the first ever Christian Blog and Web Awards!
The whole event was really well organised with an amazing four-course meal and a great string-quartet providing a touch of class to the proceedings. Thanks [...]

Awards

Later today, Kirsty and I are off to the Christian Web and Blog Awards ceremony in London. I mentioned back here that this blog had gone through to the final rounds and we’ve now been invited to go along to the event tonight and see if I’ve won anything! It’s a black tie affair and [...]

Christian Blog Awards

A few weeks back I got a comment on this post about the Christian Blog Awards encouraging me to enter. Now not knowing much about the awards, I went to the website and followed the instructions half expecting to discover a scam! Then yesterday, I got an email saying:
Congratulations!
Your blog has gone through to [...]

Yahoo! Pipes

This Yahoo! service has been around for a little while now, but I’ve only just started to get to grips with it. It’s basically a powerful tool for getting the information you want brought to you from around the web. If you get bored with technical stuff, read no further…
For the rest of you, Pipes [...]

Funny stuff

It’s been a bit quiet on this blog of late and I’ve got a lot of thoughts to post at some point. I’ve been here for the last 24 hours along with Sim, Billy and Brian among others (who have already posted the highlights). In the meantime, enjoy this great phone call:

Free Spiderman 3 Illustrations at SermonSpice

I went to see Spiderman 3 at the weekend. Being a long-term Spidey fan (since I was around 5) and having enjoyed the last two movies, I was very disappointed. It was long, drawn out, shallow and pretty cringe-worthy in places, but there was some good stuff in there too. In fact one of the [...]
