SlideIT – easier way to enter text. Good fun, the predictive side of it can be a bit of a pest so do re-read what you’ve written, although there is the facility to go back to simple ABC input.

Nothing to do with phones but I do like the “Want a girlfriend” advertising in the sidebar!

I’m glad you like whatever you are seeing, Agatha. The ads are served up by a remote server which focusses the ads on the viewer, including whatever you are looking at, where you are and I think also your browsing history.

Don’t forget now – if you are coming to St Mary’s on Sunday morning you are invited to wear your own national dress if you have it. We’re remembering the story of Pentecost – how the Spirit came upon the people of God in Jerusalem who were gathered from all parts of the world and…

Fencing the Table
Now, Christians – wise up. I want some answers. I’d like to return to this question about what it is that entitles someone to receive communion. We had quite a chat about it when I asked whether one sacrament needed to come before another one. Lots of people seem to think this really matters a…

Teaching for the Diocese
Oh, what a jolly afternoon yesterday, teaching a development session for folks from the diocese on how to use WordPress in general and the new Scottish Episcopal web template in particular.
