Captain Serious

I have been helping out a good friend of mine in installing Wordpress as a content management site for her new Womens Site

This will be a sort of womens portal with a womens blog built in - she has some interesting ideas, particularly when it comes to women’s politics, so give it a read.

Wordpress is very well suited to use as a CMS, there are some really nice plugins and templates that can emphasise the ‘CMS-ssy’ side of it over the blog, and it was real fun getting it together.

Not posted for a long while - been very busy.

I moved office and, due to a cash windfall decided to upgrade everything - office furniture, computers… everything.

Been a long time since I did anything like that - I used to order locally, but now we have e-bay
Although, I must confess, I didn’t first think of e-bay, I went searching on google for ‘bureau desks for sale by auction‘ and found an e-bay aggregator site (is that what they are called?), which collated e-bay results on one page - I found what I was looking for, and a whole lot more.

I ended up buying a new main desk, office tables & chairs and even a new coffee perculator - thats e-bay for you I guess - its a damn gold mine of temptingly priced gear.

Its been a long year and its time for a nice relaxing holiday.

Not sure where to go this year, I narrowed it down to a villa in Portugal (The Algarve), Barbados or Menorca.

The Algarve is particularly interesting to me, as I have been there before and had the holiday of a lifetime.

I stayed in a villa in Vale do Lobo, but this time I fancy one of these villas in Vilamoura or Almancil, both have a good mix of vacation essentials - near to the nice rural portuguese countryside, great beaches and excellent nightlife!

A villa in Carvoeiro is also an option, there are some gorgeous looking villas at VillaRetreats.com.

Well, somewhere like those places anyway - depends on the price of the flight out there I guess - which pretty much rules out Barbados.
