It may look pretty much the same as the old one, but it’s completely different. This site is running on Wordpress which will make it lots easier to post and style content.
The redesign is the reason why I haven’t posted for the last couple of weeks (oh, and we had a rather significant essay due [...]

You may have noticed I’ve added a list of links in the sidebar recently. These are the 10 most recent links I’ve bookmarked (and made available for sharing) through my del.icio.us bookmarks.
At the moment I’m exploring a lot of stuff about Bible reading, design and translation, which has had the excellent side effect of [...]

Here are the subscription stats from the site over the last year and a half, since we started using Feedburner. The graph shows how many people have been subscribers to the site during the period shown.
I’m not sure why there are spikes recently. The current subscription number is available in this chicklet: and [...]

For quite a while we’ve had problems with our rss feed, wherein, when you clicked on the blog entry title in your trusty newsreader, you got something like this.
Now it’s fixed. Feedburner is actually a little on the flaky side. The links work, but not as tidily as I’d like, so don’t breath too [...]

A few mates have pointed out that when they click on the blog entry link in their newsreader, it sends them to a non-existent page. The URL is missing a /. I’m sorry that’s happening.
Unfortunately, it’s a problem with Feedburner, rather than with my site or your newsreader, so until I get a workaround [...]

OmniGroup has just released the private testing alpha of their new GTD app, OmniFocus. I’ve been using it a couple of weeks now and it’s really good, although it’s missing some of the features I’m hoping for in v1.0.
If you would like to achieve more in less time and get all the little things you [...]

Well, Blogger feeds have been down, which is why our blog wasn’t working for the last 15 hours.
It’s up again now, and it seems like the Blogger code monkeys have found the API bug.

Big apologies for the distinct lack of posting in recent days (read: weeks).
We’ve just overhauled the site onto a new blogging system which will enable me to blog from anywhere (read: lectures). It also means we can do away with the “Ben/Sally: ” prefix to each blog entry title, and replace it with a neat [...]

We’re about to try out RapidBlog, a new RapidWeaver plugin from Loghound software. It’s (hopefully) going to allow us to post blog entries from anywhere, using Blogger, as well as some nifty other stuff.
If we never see you again (online), it’s because RapidBlog killed us. But (online) death is not powerful enough to hold us, [...]

Since Sally will be blogging more, we thought it would be a good idea to indicate who the “I” is when we say “I”.

Thanks to Dave for pointing out that our feeds weren’t getting through. I’d been posting blog entries and not really paying attention to the fact that they weren’t coming into my RSS reader. I’d been tinkering with the site to streamline some things and had shut off the RSS feed.
Should be all good now. [...]

Want to know what happens when you send out an email to a whole lot of email addresses in your address book that are no longer in use. You guessed it:
And that was just the first day after sending. They continued to trickle in all week.
If you’re reading this, it’s because you got the [...]
