box is mainly for my own
reference. You might as well move on to another bit.

September 2006 A couple more bits have been
added to the "Gadgets" page - stuff about the iPod dock I bought
recently, and a bit about the next daft thing I've got my eyes on
(a Ducti wallet, and maybe bag as well). I am the
geeky-wierd-stuff-marketers dream, I really am.
And less shiny, but still fun, I've been sorting out flights for
another trip to Turkey. There will be another venture to the fairy
chimneys of Cappadoccia, this time with me driving a rented car
rather than having a driver and guide, and quite possibly a dawn
hot air balloon ride too. |

September 2006 If you ever want to buy me stuff
and don't know what to get me, you can find my Amazon Wish List
here. |

September 2006 I've added a few more bits to the
"Games" page.
Head First apparently got a bit of a write up in the local paper
last week. And a couple of people (not me!) are probably going to
be doing a radio interview on BBC Berkshire soon, which will
hopefully get some more people interested. All good stuff, really!
I've been adding some more bits to the website, and I think it
looks pretty good really. It's got a new domain as well, which is
www.head-first.tk |

August 2006 I've discovered a website that has
been put together by my old form tutor from secondary school. He's
unearthed photos of some of the trips and things, dating back to
the early 90s. There seems to be an unnerving number of pictures of
me in there. If you fancy a giggle at the dreadful hairstyles and
fashion, this
is
where to find it. I really had no idea we were so small back
then.
Head First launched last week, with a successful party. The
website
is
working properly, and there is now a photo gallery
as
well. |

August 2006 Some clever person somehow worked
out that the picture (below) of the Japanese fellow was taken in
Kaysersberg, Alsace. We still need to find the man though.
There's another Perplex City live event on today - this time in San
Fransisco. There's online participation for people who can't get
there, starting at 7p.m.
Head First (the mental health service user involvement project in
Wokingham) officially launches on Friday 18th. I put together the
first issue of the newsletter, so it's just about ready for
printing, and I've set up a blog as a temporary website where we
can post articles and stuff. If you want to have a look, it's
here.
I've been fiddling around with some website stuff over the last
couple of days. As well as getting WordPress up and running for the
Head First blog, I've been having a go with Mediawiki and a few
content management systems. It's all very experimental at the
moment, so I'm calling the areas "labs" - all that's missing is the
bubbling test tubes! |

August 2006 There are now two sites looking
for our Oriental
friend:

Don't
expect regular updates, I'll add things as and when I
feel like it, or when I get round to it. |

SO....
THIS IS MY HOMEPAGE.
Come in and browse around, but don't break anything or make a
mess!
Hi. I'm myf, and this is my website. And here are a few little
pictures of me:
  
I don't like having my photo taken, so I made a few Weemees
instead. You can go and make your own at Wee World
One photo I don't mind showing to people is this one:
It's my baby photo from my passport!

A brief guide to what's here, and where to find it (I've cunningly
arranged the pages in alphabetical order, with the exception of the
home page):
- Home
is quite obviously this page.
- Archive is a
dumping
ground for stuff that's old, or doesn't fit on it's original page
anymore.
- Books is about the
books and
authors I like.
- Elli's Wedding is a
site
I created as a sort of wedding present for my friend. Most of it is
photos that I took on the day. Some of it doesn't work properly,
but I haven't got round to sorting it out yet.
- Gadgets is about
the
various shiny bits of technology I own, and whilst I probably
could live
without them, I'd rather not.
- Games will lead you to
a few
games I enjoy. I like puzzles, and I've found two that are so
puzzling it's infuriating.
- Groups is about
various
societies and organisations that I either support or am actively
involved with. There's amateur theatre, mental health, the local
Carnival, politics, human rights, and donkeys.
- Music has got information
on
what I like listening to.
- Travel is fairly
self-explanatory. It's where you'll find the pages I created after
my trip to Iceland. I've since been off to Malta, and Turkey
(twice), but haven't bothered doing pages about them yet. Maybe one
day I'll get round to it. In the meantime, there are links to the
photos I took.
- Websites & Software
is
exactly that: links to other sites, and to software that I like
using.

If, for whatever reason, you want to buy me stuff, you can find a
selection of things I'd like on my Amazon
Wish
List. Go on, you know you want to buy pressies for me! |
Get your computer doing something useful!
Go and visit this site:
Once you're there, download the
program, run it, and take part in a ground-breaking effort to crack
the code. You'll also be putting hundreds, if not thousands, of
people out of their misery if your machine cracks it!
It's all to do with Perplex City, but you don't have to be a player
to help - visit the Games page for more information.
|
I've been told I should make this page more interesting, but I
don't really know what else to put on it. Until I have a better
plan, this will have to do:
 
At various places around the site, you will find me gibbering on
about Perplex City. It's a game I am playing. Things are getting
exciting at the moment. And it's taking over my life, but that's
ok.
You too can share in the lunacy that is Perplex City. There are a
couple of virtual puzzle cards to try (click the first picture),
and if you like the game and want more cards, you can use the store
locator (second picture) to find more puzzly goodness nearby or
online.
There's a bit more about it on my "Games" page, which also has
links to all sorts of related websites. And if you don't like the
look of Perplex City, the page also tells you about some of the
other games I play.
Enjoy!
