Reduced blog posting schedule inevitable says Prince Charles

A report today by The National Royal Vacation Week magazine suggests that bloggers like Prince Charles often take a few days off for a bit of rest and recuperation around the August time frame. “It’s perfectly normal,” exclaimed a tanned and relaxed looking Prince of Wales, “People need to unwind a little. We’re not machines, you know.” None of the Prince’s staff were available for comment by the time of publication.

A thank you to Ferret readers

I’ve been receiving some nice emails recently about the Ferret, saying stuff like how much you folks enjoy it. I just wanted to say thank you back. Without getting all slushy or anyfink. Since I started writing this blog way back 7 years ago, it’s been a joy to publish and get your feedback. It really makes it worthwhile. We’re not a big org like the others, and there’s no teams of contributors, just me and whatever you folks send…

Adding to the 101 Gadgets Sites page – backlog city

Just a quick note to those folks who are submitting their site to the 101 Gadget Sites page on the Ferret. I’m currently experiencing a time-delay, lag-dicious backhaul complication scenario. In other words I’m way behind in processing them. I’m trying to do a few at a time whenever I get a spare moment, so please forgive me if your site has not gone up yet. Tags: 101+gadget+sites

Back…phew…

So we’re back. Weren’t no big thing. Just a complete re-build, re-constitution of customisations, painstaking hunt for missing tools, fretful self-flagellation over the breakdown of my usual foolproof True Image backup system, etc etc. You’ve got to love computers, eh? Just love ‘em. Oh yes. Tags: we’re+back

Help Mandyleigh get famous – call for support

Longtime Ferret reader Gary writes in to ask for some support for his wife Mandyleigh, who is bidding to win a Sellaband competition with her jazz rock music and possibly make it big time in the recording world. She’s pretty good actually (although I’m not totally sure about Numb, Gary), so why not give her a helping hand? She’s promised to give everyone who helps out a link to download all of her MP3 tracks for free. And hey, if…

Zookoda saga continues…

Subscribers to our Ferret newsletter which is distributed via Zookoda may have noticed that it hasn’t been sent out of late. Not our fault I’m afraid, but apologies all the same. Their company, as some of you know, is about to be sold off, and so things are a little random there at the mo.  Co-founder Nick McNaughton has written to me to apologise and says that he’s now in discussions with the final three suitors for his company and hopes…
