‘Something for the weekend, sir?’ No, this is completely different. At least, the title is.

Allow me to invite you to subscribe to AUTOSAVE IS FOR WIMPS, a weekly chronicle written by me, Alistair Dabbs – a freelance technology tart who juggles tech journalism, training and digital publishing, based in Montpellier and London.

Yes, that Alistair Dabbs. Please do not confuse me with all the others.

AUTOSAVE IS FOR WIMPS is utterly different from ‘Something for the Weekend, Sir?’ which ran in The Register for eight years. Sure, it is a weekly opinion strip loosely based on the odd stuff that seems to happen around me at work, and it is published at around lunchtime every Friday, and is likely to feature dry observations from the radioactive Mme D, as well as containing well-timed expletives, gratuitous double-entendres, a deliberate mistake in each episode (to troll the pedants) and finishing with a YouTube embed… but in every other way (i.e. the title) I assure you it will be completely different.

In the meantime, tell your friends! I’d be grateful for the share: there’s no point in me doing this if nobody else reads it.
