Laptop meets liquid
I had a business trip to the west country last week and did something really stupid on the way back. I accidentally knocked over a bottle of water and my computer got wet.
It killed it dead of course.
It was difficult to come to terms with to start with, I kept trying to start [...]
Sole practitioner collaboration
Last year I joined a group of sole practitioners, called the Independent Law Network. They have been meeting up together for a couple of years now. I was invited by Mark Foley (perhaps the nearest thing the group has to a leader), and they were very welcoming.
They are a lovely group of people [...]
More and more people are working on the move. Mobile phones are bcoming increasingly powerful and many now offer internet access. Yet most sites are optimised for proper sized screens, not miniature ones.

If you learn about the internet and how it works as I do, by picking it up piecemeal as you go along, there are often huge gaps in your knowledge that you don’t realise. One has been revealed to me recently about email.
My business email has always been downloaded to my email client (Eudora or [...]
I spent much of last year studying and reading about social media and how it works. This year it is time to put some of this into practice.
I have therefore started an experimental new service for lodger landlords. My existing service, Landlord Law, does cater for people renting a room to a lodger, but lodger [...]
I’ve found another great plugin, although its got a bit of a silly name, and a soppy heart logo. Its called ‘comment luv’ (I said it was silly), and what it does is give a link back to the most recent post on your blog commentators blogs. I learned about it from the Blogussion site here.
