Links
Going surfing?
Believe it or not, but there's more to the
Internet than this brilliantly crafted site (you can thank
Colligan.com for the brilliantly crafted bit, by the way). Here are some
links to friends, family and sites that either tickle my
fancy or are what I consider useful for one reason or
another. Fancy having your site placed here? Drop me a line
and I'll think about it...
Family
Purple-Butterfly.co.uk - my mother's very own online
store. If you're looking for card embellishments and other
hand-made goodies, look no further.
Curly-girly.co.uk - my gorgeous wife Toni's personal web
site. Click
here
for her new online shop, specialising in encaustic art and
handmade jewellery.
Tiger Talk - when we go on holiday, Toni
likes to let everyone know what we're up to. Does that sound
slightly dodgy? Good.
Friends
Cavan Scott - my
great mate Cav is
famous for writing Doctor Who audio plays as well as holding
down a full-time job as editor of a bunch of kid's
magazines. Of course he's in his element...
The
Biltons - we go back a long way, Martin and I. Almost as
far as China. Or was it Lancaster University? I can never
remember. Anyway, this is his tech-friendly site.
Joe
Cassels - Joe is an IT writer just like me, and now
(poor fellow) we're reasonably close neighbours - if
adjacent towns counts as being neighbours of course. Joe and
I are halfway to world domination with our site
SupportPCs.
Dan DiNicolo - the link will take you to Dan's own
little page on his not-so-little Web site called PC
Trainers.
Steve
Jalim - Steve's another good mate who freelances in the
tech sphere for a living, although his hope is to become a
screenwriter. You can keep up with his quest by checking out
his
blog.
Magazines
Tell you what, why don't you pop over to the Professional
section of the site? You'll find more than enough links to
magazines there...
Highlander
Is it the greatest TV show of all time? Probably not, but I
love it to bits anyway. Aside from my fabulous (if you don't
get the irony now you never will) site opposite, here are
some more resources you may or may not find useful.
The
Highlander A-Z - it's my fan site! However did it get to
the top of the list?
Blogs
We're all at it, and here are some blogs that are well worth
reading. Especially if you like actors-turned-writers,
guitar gods from Queen, and a bunch of Birmingham City supporters
Bri's Soapbox - Brian May's very own blog. I used to
hate Queen with a passion - I was traumatised as a three
year-old when Bohemian Rhapsody was at number one for nine
weeks and that scary video was played on Top of the Pops.
Thankfully I saw the light and now count Queen among my top
three all-time favourite acts...
Wil
Wheaton.net - Probably best known for his Wesley Crusher
in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Wil Wheaton has
shaken off that monkey to become an accomplished writer,
family man and happy-go-lucky geek. A bit like me in fact,
except you can drop the actor bits. Okay, drop the
"accomplished" bit too, but I have two cats who look up to
me, so 'family man' definitely stays.
The
CavBlog - it's that Cavan Scott again, this time writing
in his blog! Whatever next?
Danny Grabham - there is a blog in there somewhere, but
I've picked the link to all the photos Danny G took for the
aforementioned Cav's stag night. I am in some of the
pictures - I was there after all and it would have been rude
not to.
Kwacky's Konfessional - one of the benefits of working
from home is that you eventually start to lose all social
graces and friends from the real world. Thank goodness,
then, for the Internet, and people like Kwacky (real name:
Legal Bluenose)...
The Bacchanalia - another good friend, who we'll call
Momus because that's his pseudonym on the blog (real name
Theo T Wildebeest, 14 The Harrows, Milton Keynes).
Misc
Indulging my ego while surfing Google for "Nick Peers" I
came across
this electronic reproduction of a review I wrote for
Amiga Format way back in the mists of time (October
1995)
