Another One Gone

It’s start­ing to look like an epi­demic! Another blog related portal site has closed: GBlogs.

In light of my rap­idly chan­ging life and increas­ing com­mit­ments over the next few months, I’ve decided to close GBlogs.
I hope you’ve enjoyed using the portal over the past couple of years, and best wishes for the future.

That’s the second one in the last couple of weeks. Adam Walker’s excel­lent B2 Dev site was the other.

Ok every­one, im con­sid­er­ing a clos­ure of the b2 dev site, noth­ing def­in­ite yet tho…

Although strictly speak­ing Adam hasn’t finally closed the B2 Dev site. If he does, I’ll misss it. It was a pretty good resource.

Another Two Earthquakes!

We’ve just had another two earth­quakes or at least tremors. This time I felt them both. :-)

tremor readingThe epi­centre was within a mile of me. I wasn’t in the office, which being nine floors up got quite a shak­ing. Noth­ing too dan­ger­ous, but the people in the office said it was quite worrying.

I spoke to Jan at home, and she said that all the chimes and vari­ous dangling things in Jamies’s room all set off jangling. Jamie thought it was quite exciting!

The earlier story at the BBC news site has been updated.

Earthquake In England Again!

Wow! Another Earth­quake. This time centred on Manchester. Much closer to me this time. But, alas I missed it again. :-(

This time I was on a bus and I’m sure wouldn’t have been able to dis­tin­guish it from one of the many potholes on route!

Here is a BBC news story about it. The time is wrong on this one though. It happened nearer to 8:35.

Update: Appar­ently last month’s earth­quake was upgraded in it’s intentsity.
