Happened on MODX by chance, and I’ve been very impressed with it. A bit of a slog to convert my own stuff, but, once done, so easy to make mods and add new stuff. Template Variables have been a godsend. There was a problem with Softaculous backup, though: it insists on backing up everything in […]

Haven’t been arsed to do any blog updates since November, it would appear. But maybe it’s time for another tale of woe… New Years Eve, 6:20am, Mel decides to get up for a wee, so I think I might as well go too. And go I did – slipped on the stairs and bounced down

Well, after a wonderful 46 days break, I’ve finally had to mow the lawns again. The grass is slowly recovering from its parched, brown state, and it was mostly a matter of cutting grass around the edges, and weeds. I do seem to have a mixture of grasses, though: one small area had thrived, and
Noticed this in Chapeltown the other day. Access was the first credit card I ever owned, back in 1973 – and we called it “the mighty Access card” because of all the powers it gave us to spend the phenomenal amount we were being paid in expenses for working in Bristol. Phenomenal? It was over
