Redesigning slightlymore and a fun side project

My close friends will know two facts about me (probably more, too): I work a lot and I love roller coasters. I’ve already confessed to the near death of slightlymore in its current incarnation and after getting back from a holiday to Spain to a theme park, I have decided to write a book to give me something to do in the evenings instead of work.

slightlymore is dead – long live slightlymore!

So it appears that my blogging activity at slightlymore has slowly but very surely ground to a halt. This wasn’t intentional – I set up the site with very specific goals; to own a website which was a great resource for developers with some great tutorials on it. I just don’t have the time to [...]

Announcement: RSS reshuffle! Are you subscribed to the correct feed?

I’m currently giving slightlymore a bit of a restructure and have decided to split up the feeds into more sensible chunks. I now offer four feeds for your pleasure: Everything, Just the blog posts, Just the links and Just the light relief.

I’m upgrading to WordPress 2.8

It’s always a good idea to keep all software on your website up-to-date, and for that reason I have just upgraded slightlymore to run Wordpress 2.8 (previously 2.7.0). Having said that, it’s still in the beta stage, so there might well be a multitude of bugs in it.

Audioboo – making ‘podcasting’ accessible to everyone

So I’ve just found the new service AudioBoo, which I think may well turn out to be the next twitter. It allows anyone (well, anyone with an iPhone, at the moment) to record 3 minute clips of audio to be hosted by AudioBoo. You can follow people, tag your Boos – or at least that’s what I think they’re called – set a location for each one and allow people to comment on them.

Me on the intertubes

It wouldn't be right to have a web site, be a nerd, and not take this opportunity for a bit of shameless pluggery.

If you like all these weird and magic internet page things, you should try Coaster Nerd, Oxford Bloggers or, if you'd really like some unexplainable sourcery, is it the weekend yet.

Also you should follow me on Twitter ;)

Where to find me

I can be found fairly regularly at Oxford Geek Nights, OxTuttle and other general nerding out activities in and around Oxford.

I am also often found in my natural habitat which is anywhere that you can find an adreneline machine. I frequent English theme parks more often than is healthy, and take trips abroad to sample foreign rides.

Comedy disclaimer

These posts were written at the time of writing and may not still be accurate or reflect my opinions any more. In fact, they may not even be correct or representative at the time of writing. You see, when I write, I just write. I don't do that thing which they always told you to do at school and plan what you want to write first. Because of this, there will almost certainly be a load of typos, grammar errors and incorrect facts and references. If this makes you feel queasy, I apologise that you had to get to the bottom of the page to read this, and hope that some day, you'll learn to forgive me.

What's this site?

Slightlymore started off all too formally for my liking. In the depths of the archives, you'll find tutorials. However if you read the more recent posts, you'll find them a lot more playful and about fun and interesting stuff.

Annoyingly difficult to use tag cloud
