ricey Shopping

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

I’ve teamed up with Amazon.co.uk to open a little shop.  It’s time to get some of these associate accounts I’ve got working and usable!

I haven’t decided exactly what products to put in there yet, but I have put a few categories in, let me know if you want something that’s not there and I’ll put it up.

It’s mainly electricals and gadgets at the minute, but then it would be I suppose!

So there we are, take a look at the link at the top of the site and have a browse.

Enjoy,

ricey.co.uk returns!

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Welcome (back) to ricey.co.uk

This site has been down for a long while, so it’s time to update it and re-launch the poor thing onto the internet!

ricey.co.uk has always been a mismatch of my, Ricey’s, musings and forays – and will continue to be so.
Covering all aspects of my endeavours on and off the computer.

I’m a big fan of Open Source, which will probably become apparent over time, but my family is also important to me. Oh, and there’s work too!

Feel free to leave comments and replies for posts, conversations might even ensue!

So this is the first, if a bit short, post to get things underway.  Let’s see where this goes!

Cheers
