Not only do I still read the printed word, but I still write books that are published in dead tree format as well.

As an author, I have to say that there is nothing quite like getting the...

This thread is now closed - DaniWeb will not be party to discussions about taking down websites.

Forget the ho(e) debate, I am more interested in the suit thing. Quite funny really, considering I currently do not even own such a thing let alone wear one. I am more a jeans, t-shirt and tattoos...

When I saw the thread title I thought "at last, I can find out how old that tree in the garden is" - imagine my disappointment when I discovered we were not talking about radioisotope carbon-14...

Big fat nerd, 44, bald, no social skills - seeks young dolly bird for a good time.

Somehow, I am not expecting a deluge of PMs... ;-)

In fact, I have edited to be even less offensive now - and would restate what others have said: tone it down in future please.

Nope, but I can tell you that you really should trust your wife a bit more, and be a lot less paranoid or the relationship is likely to take a nose-dive. Especially if your wife is using this site as...

Anyway, isn't reviving long dead things kind of in keeping with the subject matter? <runs away>

OK, enough is enough, I am closing this thread as it appears to be heading into pointless and mindless flame territory...

It has been tried before. We even had our own team, the London Monarchs (I used to drink in the same bar with them) and it never caught on.

Of course, I would take issue with one small matter:...

Hmmm, sense of humour and Gordon Brown?

Nope, don't think there is any danger of the two meeting up at any point.

A big mug of fresh brewed Brazillian blend coffee and a couple of McVitie Digestive biscuits. My little midnight snack as I bash a few more words out and get ever closer to finishing writing this...

Very happily married here, to my soulmate, lover and best friend all wrapped up in one gorgeous former classical Russian ballerina.

We have been married for 12 years now, and I am as happy as I...

One shoebox, 3 elastic bands and a copy of Windows 95.

Dani works miracles under the circumstances!

I am looking for suitable candidates to interview as case study material for a new book I am writing for the Science Museum here in London, to be published globally by Wiley early next year.

The...

I have not had a girlfriend for 12 years now, on order from the wife...

Well I didn't retain the UK IT Security of the Year title, that very deservedly went to Paul Marks from The New Scientist.

However, I did win the Best IT Security Feature award for the second year...

Tuesday is the 2007 (UK) IT Security Journalist of the Year awards ceremony, and I seem to be up for the gong in 4 out of the 6 categories including the overall title which I was lucky enough to win...

Anyone who is curious as to what happygeek really looks like can see the real me, tattoos and all, on Channel 4 News in the UK tonight, starting at 7pm.

They are interviewing me about the breaking...

Please don't do that, I want you to stay and value your being here. Others obviously feel the same, looking at the comments here.

Let's all just take a deep breath and calm down a little. Life is...

OK, with super fast broadband arriving, well, super fast, it begs the question what would you use it for?

So go on then, what would you do with such speedy broadband that you couldn't do before?

Congratulations and welcome to our newest Featured Blogger here at DaniWeb, the superbly interesting author of the Right On - What IT really is (http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/blog73097.html) blog, the...

Following on from the success of our first blogging contest here at DaniWeb, we are proud to announce the start of an all new, even better competition with some truly amazing prizes.

If you’ve got...

Here in the English countryside, we get insects known as 'thrips' during harvesting time. The things are tiny, 1mm or so, little black specs.

Trouble is they are so small that they get everywhere,...

The traditional approach is to do something about it yourself: get involved in politics, stand as an independent, make a difference...

The good news

DaniWeb blogs are back in the Google News index, which means increased exposure for both DaniWeb and our team of blog posters (er, that's you folks.)

The bad news

We won't be...

Movielad: That's a real shame, I think that whatever external stresses you have got the better of you here. The wolfpack comment was, it seems to me, meant in jest. If I had been around I would have...

Sorry to let the ego flow, but I've just got back from a day in London at the UK IT Security Journalism Awards 2006.

Somehow I managed to win both the Best Security Feature award and IT Security...
