I spent several months blogging on my MySpace, pretty successfully, friends read it and half-decent posts. It’s wound down since January, just very little to write and little time to write.
Just started a new Wordpress, www.nodarkness.wordpress.com, probably just for personal use, political essaying and music/films reviews.

A quick update. I eventually managed to make DVDs but I now have a pile of about a hundred with labels, saying what photos or music are on them. Not a good idea.
My laptop got so incredibly full that every time I took photos I had to delete all the photos of the previous trip…possibly meaning I’d lose them!
So I bought myself an External Hard Drive, Toshiba, 1TB. Only £70 though I may update someday and get one with proper insurance. INCREDIBLY HANDY! It stores everything I need, just need to finalise some of the folders, put things exactly where I want them…
Highly recommended.
