Heading Off To Webhosting Day 2009
Next week a couple of us will be travelling to Phantasialand, which is somewhere near Cologne, Germany. For the last few years I’ve been getting invites to attend WebhostingDay, but haven’t been able to actually attend.

People get confused by technology, so they reach out to their providers for help and guidance. Unfortunately not everyone is good humoured or patient about it (and that’s on both sides). Earlier today I was trying to sort out a rather annoying issue I had with Flickr (it was of my own making – not […]
