  • Boobs, Backing Blair and Tim Ireland

    I have been slack on the gypsy front for the last few weeks and I apologise. In fact I have been busy with all sorts of other malarkey, including the preparation for the Plymouth the Dakar rally with the boys at Rally ACE.

  • International

    I have just installed a great plugin that translates this blog into a multitude of languages.

    I don’t know what I’ll do if people start chatting away on the blog in Chinese, but all are welcome. It’s not too busy right now so I won’t be worrying yet ;0)

  • The Marches

    I was on the welsh borders this weekend around the Forest of Dean. It is an absolutely gorgeous part of the world, with wooded valleys rolling like waves into England from the black mountains.

    I left my computer alone for the weekend, preferring to enjoy the 14th birthday of my daughter without any distractions from the cyber realm. In fact my daughter is one of the few children who enjoys a reasonably computer free existence. There is one in the house, but she prefers books and the magical realms of literature to the world wide web.

    Everything in small doses.

  • Some Gypsy Video

    This is an assortment of video I have been doing over the last few years. Video has been a passion of mine ever since I used it to make a living whilst I was in Thailand.

    I was always a bit more focused on the underwater realm rather than the dollar at the time, but have no regrets.

  • Google Earth

    Due to the desire to show people where we are going to be on each day of the Plymouth top Banjul rally, I have been taking a closer look at Google earth.

  • Plymouth to Banjul Rally

    This cyber gypsy is off gadding about again in the early days of December. I am setting my compass for the desert dunes, leaving a winters London behind and rallying off with the boys and girls from ACE.

  • Cyber Gypsies Abound

    We seem to be festooned with cyber gypsies.

    In a British Heart Foundation shop in Streatham, Indra Sinha’s ‘frank account of love, life and travels on the electronic frontier’ found us as we walked past the front window.

  • The Train To Brighton

    I know my mood hasn’t been good concerning WiFi hotspots in London, considering our glorious capital can’t get it together to provide connectivity, gratis, for it’s citizens to lol about all chaise longue like, in it’s streets writing blogs like this (ie me).

    I mean I can understand why. Imagine the glut of bohemians strewn about attempting to work, it would be pitiful. The sight of me strewn outside St Pauls writing an SEO proposal would sicken any banker I’m sure.

    So. To escape from this madness I take myself on the road (or rail) to Brighton, and what do I find. WiFi access, free (for a limited period) from T Mobile on the train.

    I’m writing this on the train (which is distracting me from working as it happens).

    Viva la revolution.

    The world IS my office (well, as well as being a dumping ground for humanities inability to govern it’s own greed that is).

    We can share. The greedy and me.

  • 6 Quid

    Look, I hate to be so egocentric as to think that London is my virtual office – but it is – so if the powers that be would like to make it free for me to wield my Vaio about town like a cyber ninja I’d be a lot happier.

  • Batteries ETC

    I have a  £50 Battery in my vaio and it is working fine. A SONY original 7200 mah original is £270, so for the change I could go on a week’s holiday to Spain, eat 150 kebabs or afford a few tickets to go see a game of football.
