Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been working on some workshops for Computeractive on using a disposable email address for registering web services, backing up using Mozy and monitoring your home with Yawcam. These are for unspecified future editions. I’ve also been working on a number of items for PC Answers issue 188, including a feature on learning new PC skills, and part of a guide to using the Gimp. I’ve done some more cover disc pages for Windows XP: The Official magazine and started work on PC Answers issue 189, writing how to guides on folder premissions and overhauling GMail. For Web User I’ve written a short workshop on modifying PDF documents online.

This week there are a couple of new Five Minute Computing Guides online, including one on Using Vista’s Task scheduler and Backing up Firefox Bookmarks. For Doctor Who fans, there’s also a guide to creating dalek voices using Audacity.

Welcome to my blog dedicated to my work as a freelance journalist and writer. If you’re looking for rants and musings on trivial stuff, personal opinions and dribble about Doctor Who, then you should go to Stream of Ignorance. For a professional biography and brief CV, check out the About section of this site.

This blog is where you can find such tidbits of information such as the release of a new issue of PC Answers today, in which I wrote the cover feature and two bite sized tutorials. You can buy PC Answers at good newsagents and supermarkets or buy or subscribe online at MyFavouriteMagazines.co.uk. There’s also a brand new five minute guide which I wrote published online today which explains how to use del.icio.us, the social bookmarking site. You can subscribe to the Five Minute Guides and receive them for free a couple of times a week in your inbox by clicking here.
