The Year in Blogs: 2016 (Also 2017 Blogging Plans!)

While 2015 did its best to cause turmoil in my personal life, 2016 has left the world on a bit of a knife edge economically, politically and culturally. I’m afraid I don’t have any answers for the things that happened this year. I’ve been as worried and scared about the…

A Year Without Blogging

Fallout Walking into Sunset

Tl;dr version: Going on hiatus, BRB. Long version: I am pretty active when it comes to putting stuff online. Just a casual glance at my Twitter feed for the year reveals that, on average, I put up comics, blog posts, podcasts and other assorted oddities for public consumption at least…

Home Is Where the Heart Is (but Mine Will Forever Belong to Another)

Least flattering picture ever!

It’s so easy to lose your own sense of “self”. That might sound pretentious but all it takes is one niggling little thing to throw off your entire grasp of who you are. Anyone who has spoken to me for more than fifteen minutes will have been subjected to a…

Ten Years in the Making – the Mediocre Origins of Detulux Incorporated (Part 3)

Detulux Incorporated

Last year I sat down with Sam to discuss our webcomic Detulux Incorporated. We released the first part last year on the ten year anniversary of the comic, and the second part just before Christmas last year. It’s taken this long to properly edit down and add images to the…

The Year in Blogs: 2015

2015 can seriously take a step back and literally f*ck its own face. First there was the unexpected sudden need to move house when our landlady decided they wanted to sell the house we were in regardless of whether we were in it or not. We moved into a flat…

Ten Years in the Making – the Mediocre Origins of Detulux Incorporated (Part 2)

Detulux Incorporated

You might not know this, but I write a webcomic called Detulux Incorporated which my recently-engaged fiancĂ©e draws. I used to draw it, but I was doing it wrong so she took over the art duties. Earlier this year we posted up a retrospective of my earlier efforts, and I’ve…

What I Did on My Summer Holidays (Spoiler: I Got Engaged)

The ring and a happy future wife

Full disclosure: most of this was written on half a bottle of Jack Daniels. I wanted to document this important moment in my life, but blog writing can be tiresome1 sometimes so I resorted to something Philip Marlowe called “incentive to keep me interested”2. Why post this so late? Summer…

How to Recover Your Data and Files after Refreshing Windows 10 (Because Your Start Menu Broke)

Windows 10

Having been an advocate of Windows 7 being one of the best operating systems ever1 I’ll admit that I have quickly adopted Windows 10 with the minimum of problems. In fact it seems to have sped up my laptop considerably, and certain programs that had buggy quirks actually improved themselves…

Manchild at Play: LEGO Cinema

LEGO Cinema 55

I was leaving the flat the other day and, amongst the assorted mail for various apartments, a colour catalogue caught my eye. This was because it was a catalogue of LEGO. Strange for it to turn up in the mail, and I made the decision that if it hadn’t been…

The PAYNEful Portfolio – Redeveloping PAYNEful.co.uk (or How I Got CodeIgniter and WordPress to Play Nice Together)

Redeveloping PAYNEful

Like anyone who works with the web, I get restless sometimes and occasionally get a fleeting notion that I need to overhaul and redesign my website. In this case PAYNEful was on its first version, if you disregard the placeholder page that sat on the domain for the best part…
