Oh why are some people so impatient……………………….

June 9th, 2008 · General, Non Boating, Non Boating Life

My route to work is 90% country roads and on early sunny mornings like today a total delight to drive, with the changing colours and varied  animal life I feel at peace with the world………………………………………That is until I encounter the A10 where near Cheshunt there are bridge repair works and the carriageway is reduced to one lane.

The one lane is not a problem at 6am, the traffic flows smoothly as drivers anticipate the roadworks………. Except for the few!!!…………..The few that disregard the rules, they don’t seem to mind about other drivers.

They go steaming past at high speed and force themselves into the traffic queue at the point where the the lane disappears………………….Why do they do it?……………..

Wordpress and all that

February 23rd, 2008 · Non Boating Life

Well today has been my own SWMBO has been at work so I’ve had some peace and quiet to get to grips with Wordpress and its plugins.

Being an engineer by trade I’ve always learned with a hands on approach so I like to read how to do a thing then figure it out how they work for myself. Well on Friday my copy of “Wordpress for Dummies” arrived from Amazon  so I sat down to read through it in conjunction with this Blog………………yes well….. one day later and I’m not too further on, I guess age has something to do with it.

 Joking aside I did have a lot of problems getting the plugins downloaded off the Wordpress site to work, I tried to sort it out myself but had to admit defeat, one quick email to Richard at VARiHOST and a few minutes later a reply with a solution “Thank You Richard” now theres service for you.

“Practice makes Perfect” In my case maybe not so perfect yet, but I’m not giving up……………………………….
