Those that take the time to regularly read the blog will have noticed the lack of posts the past weeks, and those who are really observant will have noticed a variety of errors every now and then… Been a difficult week for a variety of reasons, from painfully annoying “Out of memory” issues with the…

Swindon FourSquare Meetup
I am a fairly avid user of FourSquare (when I remember to use it) and naturally I am keen to go to (yet another) meet-up! The first Swindon FourSquare Meet-up is soon approaching! Organised by @TheSourceress I met her briefly at my first outing to the Reading Tweetup, so looking forward to meeting her properly….
wp-cron and MultiSite = Headache
[ad name=”postsqrRight”] After making some changes a while ago to how I run the wp-cron on this blog I noticed some odd problems as scheduled posts weren’t being published. This was getting to be a rather frustrating so I decided to debug the problem once and for all and eventually came to the conclusion that…
What’s all this #ukmspmeetup talk about?
There are 103 Microsoft Student Partners (MSPs) all over the UK. And, in case you hadn’t noticed, the UK is big. Wouldn’t it be great if, just for one day, we could all come together from whatever corner of the United Kingdom we’re from and meet up in person? Well that’s what we’re here to…
My new blog, with a really original name
I am always coming across odd, interesting a funny snippets and images on the internet. I often find these are things which I think deserve to be shared again for more to see, I posted a few on this blog but as I am trying to tune “Dan’s Tech Blog” into a more technological focused…

So I am in Reading, just finsihed my second look at the University of Reading and well, this time I am much keener. I previously took a look at the first open day on the 2nd October, but didn’t really take a thorough look. This time round I have had some interesting chats and learnt…
Geek, Nerd, Dork. What they really mean…
Now I do tend to be that person who has a very clear defined definition of what a Geek, Nerd and Dork are and what it means. Lets be clear, call me a dork or nerd and I will be offended – I’m a GEEK! Right so here’s what they all mean… In a nice…
New Aims–University
It has been a while since I posted a personal post, but I think it’s time to post a bit of an update. The major one is I now have my sights firmly set on University, with a particular aim for The University of Reading. Previously I had been a little adverse to the idea…
How to disable WordPress wp-cron
[ad name=”postsqrRight”]Recently I have been noticing that this blog has been eating its way through the servers ram like no bodies business, easily using more than 150mb before its automatically killed. By default the wp-cron.php is run every single time a page is loaded, this includes admin pages. This can lead if you have a…
