My first tattoo

Garry — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 18:25:42 +0000

Yesterday I got inked. I have been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while and have gone through a few possible designs with the help of a crazy designer I know as I can’t really design for toffee. One of the themes I was looking at was a totem pole design so I was [...]

I’ve had an Apple iPhone 3G for a while now and have installed, tried and removed a fair few apps on it. There have been a few though that will be staying put. So here are my favourite 5 apps, in reverse order, that I have on my iPhone. Number 5: Mobile Fotos This is [...]

Domains for sale

Garry — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 08:41:49 +0000

Over the last few years I have built up a collection of domain names with the idea of building the next million pound making web site. Well, this never happened so I thought I would list some of the ones I would be willing to sell. If you are interested in any of the domains [...]

Creating a minisite without writing any html

Garry — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 16:27:10 +0000

Over the last year or so I’ve been collecting a few domain names in the hope of making a few quid by either selling them on for a profit or developing them to try and earn some sort of regular income from them. I will be the first to admit that some of the domain [...]

Bye bye windows, almost.

Garry — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 18:23:48 +0000

I’ve recently got an ASUS EEE PC 1000 that came with a linux distro instead of Windows. Now, I’m not very techy when it comes to Linux so I thought it was going to be a steep learning curve and I’d get too frustrated with it. The linux version that came with the netbook was [...]

I’ve just noticed how little I update this site, which is quite frankly, embarrassing. So why the lack of updates? Well, laziness has to be up there as one of the reasons, but I do have some other reasons which I’ll try and make you believe. In August last year I joined the design team [...]

The A Team of design

Garry — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 16:51:02 +0000

Ok, no one smokes a cigar, or has a crazy hair style. I joined TheHut.com in August this year after being a freelancer for 3 years. Nearly 4 months later I thought it was about time I named and shamed the great team I work with. While I am still not sure the term ‘designer’ [...]

The ignorance of people

Garry — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 23:22:49 +0000

OK, before I get into this, this is going to be a bit of a rant so I apologise in advance. So here goes. I was sitting in my car outside tescos in Oldham today and saw that there was a shopping trolley in the middle of the road and cars were having to drive [...]

Freelancer to Full Timer

Garry — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:53:11 +0000

I read lots of blogs about the freelance life and quitting the 9-5 job. My favourites are Freelance Switch and Self Made Minds, but there are plenty more. All of these give you great advice about going it alone, leaving the full time and how you can continue to make money. I have now been [...]
