That Was the Week That Was – June 25th
Deadlines crunching, time evaporating, tension rising… This week has seen work go crazy. I need a holiday.

Anyone else think it’s funny how I can always turn an idiotic mistake into a perceptive example of modern grammar usage worthy of discussion? Diverts attention from my own idiocy admirably.

Grammar Wars III: Return of Newspeak
You knew this was going to happen, right? Hopefully, it won’t mean I come back in a few years with three more posts that grossly disappoint everyone.

That Was the Week That Was – June 18th
Previously, I mentioned I was having trouble with Three Mobile over their handling of my account. Mixing up the account details for me and my daughter was bad enough the first time. But when they did it a second time, effectively canceling the sim card in my phone and transferring my number to my daughter’s phone, blood had to be spilt. Thankfully, Three worked hard last Friday to make amends, offering us both free upgrades on our phones.
