Hey. Thanks for checking out the site. You'll find posts on geek stuff, Howto's, reviews of stuff I get, as well as musings on things that happen in my life, which tend to be music related, or job related, so expect some stories of horror from the IT field!.

Its been too long since the last one of these, but don’t worry, we’ve been practising. To prove it, here are the dates we practiced: 10 Feb, 13 Feb, 22 Feb, 28 Feb, 3 Feb, and then 10 Feb.
What have we been doing? Well practising really. [...]
I’m afraid its true. The Douglas Furs have split up. You can now find a dedicated blog to just the Douglas Furs at http://douglasfurs.wordpress.com
So if you don’t care about my crap posts, pop over to there and have a read.
It was James’ birthday yesterday and we had a hat party. Check out the great pics (as seen on flickr). Bet you can’t guess which hat was mine…no prizes for the first one to guess
So I decided to move the Douglas Furs portion to another blog page to keep it separate from my personal blogging stuff.
I’ll try to post band stuff on both but then keep anything non-band on this blog. Be sure to check it out at

and try out those demo songs!
Ok, I’ve been really slow in posting about practice recently so I’m combining 3 in one.

I should’ve blogged this sooner really but there you go. I got there on time (just about) to find out that my fellow band members were there about 30 mins prior and had been in the room for that time. And they didn’t tell me! I [...]
I’ve just got back (a few hours ago) from my annual Sales Conference for work. Its the first one I’ve been to and it was out in Coventry. About 6 sales offices were invited and packed into one hotel. The actual event was a bit of a waste really. All political nonsense and broad general [...]

Firstly, the reason I mention the room colour (they’re labelled by colour. Fancy eh!) will become clear later.
Our first practice of the year was a good one. Its been a while since our last and it went well. I got to try out my overdrive pedal [...]
I finally got round to installing the GarageBand jam pack I got from Katie. Haven’t really got time to try it out at the moment but when I get some time, I’m gonna try record some things, maybe Russia or Gouge Away and see what I can do with them.
It comes with loads of loops [...]
It may be a day late but happy new year everyone. Like many people, I hope this one is better than the last (which would probably go for most people unless you had a fantastic year).
I’m not much of a resolution maker. I see how the new year can be seen as a fresh start [...]
