This is my personal blog, where I'll (hopefully) keep you up to date with non-cartoon related bits of my life that I feel fit to publish.

Try http://www.bluepulse.com . Lets see how it works...

This is just the first version of the widget, and it's meant more as a bit of inspiration for other widget writers to get cracking writing an even better blogging widget for the Bluepulse platform. Not too many other Bluepulse widgets helpful for a Brummie like you either, sorry, you'll have to put some pressure on your nearest mobile programmer friend to write you some. Do check out the UK Traffic Webcam widget though - that ought to come in handy.

Having discovered the original red-tile floor hiding under the crappy lino I decided to rip up the offending plastic and clean and polish (and in one bit, repair) the tiles I found underneath. Luckily, they were mostly intact with one or two concretey bits that were easily covered. In other news, I started doing caricatures for 'Glory Ball' on Challenge TV: 5 a night, 5 nights a week (at about 7:50pm). I'll be posting a selection of these in due course. Also, I'm off to Shrewsbury for the Shrewsbury Cartoon Festival (22nd-24th April), which happily also includes my birthday, on the 22nd. If you're in the area, let me know!    posted by Alex at 10:22 PM on Thursday, March 31, 2005    0 comments  |  links to here  |  link Comments (0): Post a Comment Links to this post:   <$BlogBacklinkTitle$>   <$BlogBacklinkSnippet$> posted by <$BlogBacklinkAuthor$> @ <$BlogBacklinkDateTime$> Create a Link Taxing times...  Well, sorry for the slight absence recently - been a bit quiet really, the only real excitement being the annual bloodletting by the taxman. Oh, joy... Other than that, there's a big big job in the offing for me (hopefully), although it looks like the Dubai job might be off. In other news, I attended the Tribune re-launch party at the Palace of Westminster last week, which was jolly interesting. Also, managed to ship the big pile of cartoons off to South Africa for the forthcoming exhibition. I might even post some of those on here some point. On a more serious note, my father suffered a mini-stroke a couple of weeks ago, which is causing much anguish for us all. He looks like he's on the mend, but he's been in and out of hospital recently a fair bit, and is still in now. I hope you'll join me in wishing him a speedy recovery. Anyway, back to making money, so that the taxman has something in July...    posted by Alex at 1:11 AM on Monday, February 07, 2005    0 comments  |  links to here Comments (0): Post a Comment Links to this post:   <$BlogBacklinkTitle$>   <$BlogBacklinkSnippet$> posted by <$BlogBacklinkAuthor$> @ <$BlogBacklinkDateTime$> Create a Link Jingle Bells, Batman Smells...  Etc. Well, here it is (damn, sounding like Noddy Holder again). Two shopping days to Christmas and I've done precisely sod all. Well, not exactly, I've attended three parties as a caricaturist, and drawing dozens of other personal caricatures, not to mention cards. Anyway, as I close up the studio for the festive season I'd like to say thanks to everyone that's helped me this year, and a big Hi! to all my friends, new and old.    posted by Alex at 4:19 PM on Wednesday, December 22, 2004    0 comments  |  links to here Comments (0): Post a Comment Links to this post:   <$BlogBacklinkTitle$>   <$BlogBacklinkSnippet$> posted by <$BlogBacklinkAuthor$> @ <$BlogBacklinkDateTime$> Create a Link
