Just a quick note – if ever someone needs to find a publisher its this guy. Check out Nik Daum’s ‘dordles‘ (not quite drawings/not quite doodles) and be pleasantly entertained by his fantastic art and wicked sense of humour.
He is currently looking for a publisher and I am looking for books for my coffee table so if you know one, help me and him out!
For want of a much better title, it looks like 3 months have passed since I last updated this blog. It doesn’t feel like three months but I seem to have replaced one love (blogging) with a profession (web design) and the free time that I used for benbishop.me.uk has been swallowed up by browser bugs, wordpress plugins and myspace (argh!) nuances.
Fantastic news today that Alan Johnston, the BBC reporter, has been freed by his kidnappers in the Gaza Strip. 114 days in captivity is a long time!
Its amazing he looks so healthy, great news for him and his family. More details on the BBC website.
Downtime
All my sites went down today for about 60mins around 5pm (GMT) with my host denying all knowledge. Not the end of the world but a reasonable explanation would have been appreciated. Especially as this is the 7th day this month there has been some length of downtime! I have been putting it off for ages but a few more issues and poor responses from my host and I might end up making the move. Where do you recommend?
Mozilla’s Thunderbird 2 has come out of testing and been released to the public. With an increased feature set, it will be interesting to see whether quality app has kept pace with Outlook 2007 which has had some good press recently.
