Seven Years
Can seem like both a long time and a short time. It’s both. Some people reading this will get the relevance, others not. But it’s important to mark this day in some way, even though those who read this and get the relevance won’t think so themselves. Oh well. Haven’t really thought about it much [...]

Sound, or some thoughts from my trip to London today
I’m afraid this is going to be fairly railway related like the list of ‘things I’ve never done before today’ list that I made a year ago, but there is also some audio-related stuff in this that wasn’t there last year as well. The aim of the day was to go to London, and interview [...]

Counting
This is just another one of those random thoughts that came to me, and as I noticed I was logged in here thought I’d post about it. (As an aside, maybe that’s how I go about posting more, just leave myself logged in…) Do you remember when the calendar changed from 1999 to 2000? And [...]

March
I’m quite useless at this blogging malarkey aren’t I. In fact, to take a current example of my uselessness, I started typing this around twenty minutes ago with the first line and have just switched tabs to find this page. I say this because despite constantly saying I’m going to do stuff here, it never [...]

Facebook Group image template
Just chucking this one out there as somebody might find it useful. With the new Facebook group image being a weird size not matching the size of the users thumbnails, and with a bit that has an overlay, have a template to use to create your own image. You can freely use and distribute this [...]

Hat
Just a silly little animation I did a few years back for no reason other than I must have thought it amusing at the time. Animated GIFs… remember them?!

What Richie G did in 2011
I know I did this a while ago when I realised that I hadn’t updated my site in a while. Unfortunatley, as I’ve not transferred all the posts over quite yet (these past couple of weeks would’ve been ideal but I left my PC laptop in Poole which is where they are) I can’t remember [...]

How to almost burn your house down on Christmas Day
What you need: Very old chest freezer, one you’ve had as long as you can remember but that your household acquired second hand. Must be at least 20 years old, doesn’t close properly except with something heavy put on the lid, generates ice/snow like it’s the North Pole. Extension lead, now presumed dodgy. Somebody cooking [...]

More musings on the Internet how it used to be
Firstly, yes, I know. Half the old posts are here, half aren’t. Give me a break, okay?! I’m surprised I managed to do what I’ve done thus far. It’s actually been quite interesting, looking at my old posts, something I haven’t really done. I had forgotton some of the things I’d written (and I will [...]

Stupid Joke
While going through all the posts on my old site and transferring them to the new, I came across the following draft post. Not entirely sure why I didn’t post it at the time, but will post it now. (Not even sure of the date that I ‘drafted’ it I’m afraid). Q: What do you [...]
