Online Backups

I’ve been thinking of a good way to keep my websites backed up securely and one option I came across is IDrive-E Online Backup. It’s a service that lets you backup to a secure location on the Internet. You can get 2Gb free, but if you want more space there’s a charge. It’s only $4.95 […]

Peel to Douglas in under 3 hours

I’ve decided to join some work colleagues in collecting money for Red Nose Day. We’re walking across the Isle of Man in a foolhardy attempt to try and raise some money. I promise you photos, if you’d be so kind as to sponsor me. You can find my sponsor page here
