Why FishNet?
The name was chosen by a helpful sub-editor because it seemed to him that it cleverly combined the subject matter, with our seaside location. ;-)
For convenience sake, I have transferred my photo blog and a few other bits and pieces to this location as well. There are some older posts whose illustrations were lost in a move from Blogger to WordPress, and some broken links here and there, which shouldn't affect the overall usability of the Blog much, if at all.

A thief of time
One of the dangers in my line of work is being out on the Internet for work-related reasons and being ambushed by something interesting, just when I need to be concentrating on the important stuff. Using Ninite couldn’t be easier…

Word 2010: Blogging
I have the growing feeling that software can get too big and diffuse and difficult to update. Its much more unlikely, with small focused programs, that errors and omissions will be made when new versions come out.
The end of print ??
The other day I bought a book, which would not have been unusual enough to mention, but it’s a book that was produced without any ink being used or trees being harmed.
