Time to read: 2 minutes Well this is new! Knowing from the get-go that my current position wasn’t going to last forever (nobody wants to clean powerpoints for a lifetime), and that there is no room for moving up, I have been contemplating labels, careers, paths, and suchlike, in an effort to figure out what it is that I might […] continue reading »

Qype: Gaucho in Richmond
Time to read: < 1 minute Richmond – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant – Steak Houses A well-kept secret, Richmond’s edition of the popular Gaucho has perched itself just by the waterside, under a massive oak tree (is it an oak tree? My herbology isn’t up to scratch). It has lovely seating both indoors and outdoors, with wall-to-wall windows making a […] continue reading »
Qype: L’Escargot Restaurant in London
Time to read: < 1 minute London – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant – Gourmet – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant – French – Eating & Drinking – Restaurant Two stars based on disappointment rather than quality.The food just… didn’t cut it.

Beauty is in the source of the page
Time to read: < 1 minute I am no longer sure how I found them, but I just discovered theory design, a UX / UI company based in Canada. There was a blog post by someone about retro-style sites, and theirs featured. It’s pretty! I loved the colours and the very post-2010 single-page-scrolling content layout, complete with static header with cute […] continue reading »
The tweet that cost Voula the Olympics
Time to read: < 1 minute We’ve all heard about not bashing work on facebook or checking in on foursquare if we’re sick at home… What nobody had heard of before though, was an athlete being kicked off her national team for a joke. A rather racist (no, not racy) joke, but a joke nonetheless. Hell, I smirked when I read […] continue reading »
Can I teach you powerpoint? Please?
Time to read: 2 minutes It’s the first day of the Olympics work-at-home period, and I’ve already upgraded my laptop’s RAM from 4GB to 8GB, and improved yet another of our bazillion wikis. So, what’s next? One of my pet projects, because now, I feel I have the peace of mind to concentrate and put this together. It’s like a […] continue reading »
Twitpic worth £20
Time to read: < 1 minute I got off the train this morning at London’s waterloo station to be greeted by the cutest car in the world! A lovely morgan (I should’ve known it was a morgan!!) branded in Thomas Pink (pink) Union Jack. So I took a photo and tweeted it. (Thank you, iPhone!) Later that day, I get a […] continue reading »

Qype: London Bridge Hotel in London
Time to read: < 1 minute London – Hotels & Holidays – Hotels Was there for a small event just this evening. It seems that London bridge being in the old City of London, real estate was quite precious. Restaurants in chinatown have larger stalls in the bathrooms! The meeting room we were in was small, but nicely lit, which was […] continue reading »
SW_trains and Waterloo’s Olympic prep
Time to read: < 1 minute London’s Waterloo station is getting ready for the Olympics. Today I noticed the absolutely huge panels covering the ticket machines. They’re nice, bright, visible from a distance, and -my favourite part- actually showcase a massive ticket! Instant recognition factor for anyone who’s seen a south west trains ticket before! I’m thinking it will also come […] continue reading »
