I am victorious - the hosting war appears to be over and ben-johnston.co.uk is finally in existence. I wouldn't recommend looking at it just yet; it's just a holding page and said holding page is about as SEO'd up as a chicken (no redirects? What was I thinking?) but there's meta data, a little bit of content and a crappy picture on there. Ultimately, I just want to leave this … [Read more...] about We Are (Almost) Live

Sprained Hands, Pingdom and Humbugs
This is just going to be a quick one tonight since I’ve somehow managed to sprain my hand and consequently typing isn’t the most comfortable thing in the world. I’m not sure how much fun work’s going to be tomorrow since I pretty much have to write all day. I really have no idea how I’ve managed to do this, but it’s not the nicest feeling in the world.
