11 Aug 08 Calling Cards
It’s kind of crazy really. I’m the world’s worst at sending birthday and Christmas cards. I truly don’t care if I receive them or not either. I’m quite happy to get e-cards, after all it’s the thought that counts – but some still seem to see them as being a cheapskate. Well, having got friends and family all over the world, it’s darn expensive sending them out, particularly at Christmas time, and there’s always some that never arrive or get there in mid-January.
So what’s the crazy bit? Business cards that’s what!
I’ve got business cards for the IT/Web business; I’ve got business cards for the radio station; now I’ve got calling cards for me. It’s a resurrection of a Victorian idea really. Calling cards are non-business cards, and are a way of introducing yourself. Many of my friends and family already have my business details, and I thought this would be a nice way to say “Hey! this is me, not my business or anything else, but just me!”
You can find my personal email address on the card, and personal web site and blog URLS. I’ve chucked in my phone number, because, although I prefer to do business online where possible, it’s nice to have a chat on the phone with friends and family sometimes isn’t it?
Anyway, the only thing I have to remember now is to take some of the darn things with me when I go out!

30 Mar 08 We’ve moved
You might or might not notice that The Eye has a new home.
I’ve been toying with the idea for a while. I wanted to move it off a sub-directory, to perhaps improve SEO. What really made me go with it today, was that I upgraded the site to WordPress 2.5, and a lot of stuff didn’t work satisfactorily.
Rather than try and undo everything, I though, I’d bite the bullet, and move it. So here we are at our brand new home at http://wildcabbage.net. There’s not significance to the domain. It’s simply a spare one I had laying around that I wasn’t really using.
It was quite easy really to move. I’m not going to bore all you non-geeks that read this blog with the gory techie details here, but if you’re interested in how I did it, then you can shoot over to my geeky blog here and read all about it.
