I can’t believe it’s been a year

July 30th, 2010

My oh my, doesn’t time fly.  I can’t believe its been a year since I started presenting here at Fife’s Kingdom FM. 

Night Fever has been such a great show to present over the past year.  It has been such fun playing Name That Tune, playing your requests and dedications and generaly having a good old banter on the phones.

Remember if you haven’t already joined our fan pages on Facebook and Bebo then you can use the links below to join the pages.

My last Kingdom Blog before Christmas…

December 23rd, 2008

…but there’s no reason you can’t keep up to date with what’s happening thanks to micro-blogging!


Perhaps you’ve never heard the term ‘microblogging’ before. It was something I had never come across before the start of the year. It’s really just a very short blog… so short in fact that it was designed to be done within the constraints of a single text message i.e. 160 characters!As a bit of a ‘techy head’ I signed up to one of the many online micro-blogging sites way back then… and is often the case with such things, the novelty soon wore off. Then only a few days ago I read an article about the site I used (briefly!) for micro-blogging - Twitter. It seems that 20% of the sites users have signed up within the last 60 days - that’s quite a significant take up by any standard - and the site is now used by the great and the good, as well as lowly radio djs! Stephen Fry and Barack Obama are just two of the household names you can find ‘tweeting’ on Twitter on a regular basis. With a new found vigour, I made sure the username I had created was still active and I’m now (for now anyway!) ‘tweeting’ fairly regularly… I’ve even lnked it into my Facebook account.


If you fancy joining me online just create an account and add me here… and if we don’t speak between now and then, have a GREAT CHRISTMAS! Â

So…it’s a book…full of faces?!

October 12th, 2008




Of course…..it’s Facebook!As I’m sure you’ll already know, Facebook is one of these social networking sites that have appeared on the net over the past few years. In fact, I think that Facebook was one of the first. It launched in 2004 and was developed by a student at Hardvard University in Boston who created it so that students at Harvard could stay in touch with other students there. He then rolled it out to other ‘Ivy League’ Universities in the US and then it was opened to the world at large. From then, it’s fair to say it’s gone from strength to strength.


Okay…all well and good I hear you mumble…but why the history lesson? Well, here comes my point….brace yourself!


Imagine being the creator of Facebook - one Mark Zuckerberg for you fact finders! Imagine sitting down, perhaps over a few beers in the pub and saying something like “…listen guys, I’ve got this idea for a website… it’s a site that just sits there, and instead of just telling your friends face to face what you’re doing, you type it. Instead of showing some pictures of your last holiday to your friends you upload them so your friends can log on and see them. Instead of actually talking to your friends, you leave them messages on a ‘wall’. What do you think??…”


I wasn’t there when that (probably fictional) chat happened, but I’m sure some of the more generous people who heard it would’ve politely said ‘that sounds fine…but don’t give up the day job’; the less generous may have dismissed it out of hand. The point is this…. Mark Zuckerberg stuck to his guns, developed his idea and launched his site. Today, at the last count, the estimated value of Facebook is in the region of $8 billion!


When inspiration strikes, stick to your guns; don’t let anyone put you off. And if you end up with a company worth billions, remember my good advice!


Oh…and add me to your list of Facebook friends!
