Goodbye GhettoIFE… and Hello Economy Class and Beyond!

by

Time for a bit of blog admin - and something rather important. One of my readers noticed something I posted on Twitter I was at BAcon this year: Well @bigmalx.... it's a little more complex than that. Some back story. On the 15th May 2009, I fired up Blogger.com and created a blog. That blog is pretty much the one you've been reading today - GhettoIFE.com The Original … [Read more...]

Changes at GhettoIFE over the next few weeks

by

Good afternoon on this Bank Holiday evening gentle reader. Thank you first for bearing with my bad typing, poor grammar over the past few months and years (I'm improving it one post at a time... try being dyslexic - doesn't help, even with all the spell checkers and grammar checkers in the world... it's even more fun when they argue amongst each other). Now, onto the matter … [Read more...]

If my typing and writing seems worse than normal…

by

... that's because it is. Regular readers know my grammar and spelling isn't too hot to begin with. However, things at GhettoIFE towers have taken a turn for worse, with the four-year old laptop I use (A 2009 MacBook Pro) suffering a keyboard failure - bizarrely with the letters S and W not responding to commands. So much so, I've got a GhettoMacBook Pro at the moment (and … [Read more...]

And… we’re back in the room!

by

And... we're back in the room ladies and gentlemen. With a swathe of fellow bloggers, it's been fun and games this weekend - with some of us not being able to post. Well the bad news is the issue has been fixed, and I'm back to write lots of things that might be of some interest to you all. Such as this one! Like Lucky, I actually missed blogging this weekend, sharing … [Read more...]

A Merry Christmas from GhettoIFE

by

Well, it's the 25th December around the world, and it's time to wish all my readers a Merry Christmas as they year draws to a close. I hope that you have made it to where-ever you need to be - be it by car, rail, or air (I had a journey myself that was... rather interesting to say the least.. maybe a story for  another time). Oh, and have earned miles for it too getting … [Read more...]

Limited posts tomorrow (Saturday 27th)

by

Tomorrow, posting will be very limited (so you might only get a post out of me if you're unlucky), as I'm shifting broadband providers (from an ADSL2 Line that was rated at 15mb, dropping to 10mb) to a Fibre To Cabinet 72mb line. (The reasons from shifting from my current provider BE* Broadband to BT Infinity2 are numerous, but they mostly involve a certain company that I do … [Read more...]

More Photos – Both on Photoblog and GhettoIFE

by

Believe it or not, I run another blog in my increasingly diminishing spare time (and my first and oldest blog), on Photoblog.com - www.photoblog.com/kevincm. However, since the Hong Kong Trip report was completed, I've left it in a state of "something to do later" due to the Sword of Damocles that I've been dodging since November last year and only managed to successfully … [Read more...]
