One of our former employees

One of our former employees has just dropped in – always excellent to see Michael, and worth catching up on his news and gossip. Hopefully, he may even show up for beer drinking in the bar tonight.

The big news today is

The big news today is that I got my exam results – a B (credit) for Management Information for Marketing Decisions, and a C (pass) for Effective Management for Marketing. Yay!! No resits!!
So I shall be in W2 tonight, celebrating. Anyone who wants to join in should be there from around 9pm.

Redesign news: there *will* be

Redesign news: there *will* be a proper redesign at some point. One of the features I am currently considering is a choice of skins for this site, particularly as so many people have said that they preferred the old colour scheme to the new (although the response to the new colours has been generally positive – I felt it was time for a change). Not sure how I’m going to achieve this yet (some time trawling the “how to” stuff on the web, and possibly pestering a few online friends as well), but I will do it *when I have time* (i.e. not in the near future – college restarts on Tuesday, so time is going to be less plentiful).

Everybody has been talking about

Everybody has been talking about this. As I see it, the man is either brave or foolish (or possibly both) to have such a candid blog (assuming, of course, that it isn’t another dumb hoax – and I have an uncomfortable feeling that it may well be).

Consider this site tweaked in

Consider this site tweaked in the following ways:

  • text size increased
  • timestamp colour changed
  • sharpness of banner image improved
  • navbar background colour changed, border reinstated, text colours modified
  • useless black space at the top of the page removed
  • background of tables changed to white so that you can read them

Thanks for all the comments

Thanks for all the comments about the redecoration (I refuse to use the word “redesign” because that would imply more than a few alterations to the CSS). Looking at it today at work where my monitor is smaller, I agree with those who have said that the text can be a little hard to read – so I’ll work on that. And I’m sold on the idea that the navbar should be something other than white, but I’m not yet convinced by the arguments for the blue or black. So I’ll tweak the colour scheme a bit when I get home this evening, and hopefully improve on it.
