Some Friday Honey

Time for a HoneyPost

Posted by: Owen on Monday, 11th Feb, 2008

For those who are new to this blog, I sometimes put together a Honeypost which is a collection of links designed to distract the best of us from the things we’re supposed to be doing. It’s a greymatter honeypot dripping with juicy gooey honey. So here goes:

Some linky goodness

Posted by: Owen on Sunday, 18th Nov, 2007

I haven’t put together a Honeypost for quite some time, and seeing I have a few minutes to spare this morning, I thought what better way to offer some information overload that to put together a great collection of places to visit:

Some honey for everyone

Posted by: Owen on Wednesday, 11th Jul, 2007

I’m particularly busy at the moment, especially with parents visiting, so I thought I’d just share some honey for everyone to slurp up. It’s a honeypot after all, isn’t it. This edition is less about technology/business and more about what friends and acquaintences are talking about this week.

Janine recommends some essential oils to take on [...]

Show me the Honey!

Posted by: Owen on Tuesday, 6th Mar, 2007

One of the biggest problem with my blogging is the inability to stick with a particular theme. This thematic inconsistency decreases the value of my blog as regular readers are inundated with things they aren’t interested in. The problem is, I find them interesting, and the reason I started this blog many years ago was [...]
