Trek Bicycle Watch

Posted: 7th April 2011 by graham in Bicycle, Gadgets, My life, reviews, smile

Here are instructions for your “Trek Time Watch” otherwise known as “Montre Trek Time”. I have no idea why there are no instructions either on the box or printed on a bit of paper and included in the box. So 20th century? I bought one for my wife to fix on the handlebar of her [...]

Pure-Design.org for Churches

Posted: 6th April 2011 by graham in church culture, Gadgets, reviews

For a church web site I can highly recommend pure-design.org. Too many churches do not have a web site, and don’t where to start getting one. I have a friend who, moving to a new area, searched on-line for a church to try. He saw that many churches were without a web site. It meant [...]

Lakeland Retreat

Posted: 3rd July 2010 by graham in My life, reviews

I am nearing the end of a week long retreat in the Lake District staying at the “Upper Room” connected to the Hawkeshead Hill baptist church. Being in the Lakes always means something extra to me as it was while living in Grasmere for a summer season that I became a Christian in 1975. I [...]

Posted: 10th April 2010 by graham in Gadgets, Linux, reviews

A new Ubuntu is coming out soon. If your computer can run Windows Vista or XP (or even ME), it can run Linux, specifically the Ubuntu distribution (distro) that I use. Ubuntu is a free and open source operating system based off the Linux kernel. It is a complete and fully functional operating system that [...]
