I finally bade farewell to my Yahoo email, setting it into its grave. It was a long and fruitful relationship but spammers got to it.

Why have your own domain name? For a multitude of reasons.
1. It looks more professional

So here I am, waiting for my pasta to cook, and phone in hand, typing out a blog entry on my Nokia N82 while keeping an eye on Boy – where did that cat go!
