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.

Year of the tablet
One of the most incredible annual phenomena of the technological world is the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It was held this year from 6-9 January and was truly remarkable for the fact that, although open only to the … Continue reading
Go figure !!
There doesn’t seem to be any accounting for taste. This picture is now the second most viewed on my Flickr photostream. There are plenty of my pictures which I feel are much more worthy but, instead, a vintage Coke sign … Continue reading

Get off of my (Joli) cloud
This is going to be a bit of a weird column, some might say they all are, because I haven’t got anything to write about. Most columnists get to this point sooner or later, and usually plug the gap by … Continue reading
