839913524_1c4ab11764You’ve all heard the saying “if you can’t beat em’ join them!” – well this is how my wife has been feeling lately! She decided that instead of trying to get sense out of me of an evening it would be easier to run her own blog and interact with the peeps out there in internet land! So at her request I have set up MummyClover.com for her to use. Chloe is actually quite the writer and never shy to share her opinions (especially if they disagree with mine! lol) so I can’t wait to see how it evolves.

At the moment Chloe is using the blog to post general info about family events etc but in the next few months she is embarking on a huge big career change involving what could be 4 or more years study to become a qualified mid-wife, I’m sure this is going to give her plenty to write about. So if your interested check it out and make sure you subscribe to her feed. It’s certainly going to be an interesting insight into the other (not so known) private life of the infamous disco~stu!!

One thing though that bugs me about twitter is trying to find the perfect app. It isn’t an easy task and new ones pop up all the time. Some of them I’ve tried and I hate, some just plain don’t work, some come close, but most have flaws. (more…)

12 Seconds…

Soooo I’ve been fairly busy the last week or two dealing with various BIG issues at work (seriously BIG) and also building a new PC. Tonight I managed to finally get my old webcam installed on my new computer (running Vista 64bit). It was a bit of a messy process which involved editing some driver files to spoof the OS into thinking I have a different camera but it seems to work to a fashion, certainly beats having to go out and buy a new one in a hurry! anyhoo I thought I’d test it out with the 12 seconds website thing…Its kind if twitter for video (more…)
