New gig at Virtual Worlds Forum

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

It’s been a while since I last wrote on this blog, and for good reason: the small matter of A-Levels made me quite busy. They’re all over now, though, so I now have the opportunity to re-emerge from my hermit status.
I’m really excited to have started a new job, blogging and podcasting for the Virtual [...]

Blogging Limbo

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

I’ve just ‘redesigned’ this blog by deciding to switch templates yet again. I think I’m going to stick with this one for a while - it just has that cool factor, I think.
I’m in a bit of a blogging limbo at the moment. I don’t want to stop writing, but after the collapse of Blognation, [...]

Blognation’s Demise

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

I don’t think I have anything to add to the blognation fiasco - it has already been extensively written about by some. It does now look as though blognation as it exists at the moment has completely imploded, and that Sam Sethi will have no further involvement as efforts are made to turn what is [...]

Christmas Concert

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

On the off chance any readers of this blog live in Greenwich, South London, there is a Christmas concert there on the 21st December which I am in. It is a small consort group of young singers. Last year was the first time we did it, and it went really well. The programme for this [...]

Off again

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

I’m going up North again tomorrow; I won’t have internet access for the first few days, but I should by Wednesday.

Refreshed

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

There comes a time in every blog’s life when it needs to be redesigned. For this blog, that meant using a new template. WordPress made it easy, and I now have a very Web 2.0-looking design of my own.
To celebrate the relaunch, below is a random Latin music track from Ioda Promonet.

Escape

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

I’m announcing, Peter-style, that I’m definitely offline until next Monday. Like him, I’ve written some posts which will be published next week, so GizBuzz won’t be completely without content.
I quite enjoy having absolutely no access to the internet - on some levels I don’t give a monkeys about any of the top stories on TechMeme. [...]

Blogger’s block

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

I’ve had ‘bloggers blog’ for the past couple of weeks - a complete lack of posting on Gizbuzz was the consequence. I’ve now got over it - well, sort of.
I’ve lined up about 4 drafts in the Gizbuzz system, which have the first paragraph written. So, over the course of next week, all I need [...]

Blogs as tools for procrastination

Monday, December 4th, 2006

I am procrastinating right now. I have two essays I should be writing, and I don’t want to write either of them. So I’m blogging.
I have always used blogs as a way of work posponement. I set up Gizbuzz on Blogger partly to avoid revising for my GCSE mocks. When it came around to the [...]
