Well, a goodly amount of boredom reigns supreme today and I’ve been installing some apps. Firstly I upgraded from the Windows Messenger (which I’ve almost never used) to the MSN thingy. Then I installed Skype. Paul was singing its praises some time ago, before I had Broadband, and I think he makes most of his landline calls on it. I don’t make many calls anyway, so I’m not gonna buy any credit for that just yet. I’m registered with the e-mail address in the header above on both, anyway, if that is of interest to anyone.

That Time of the Month

Hmmm… this seems to be one of those times (it happens once in a while) where I consider whether or not to ditch this blog.

There is the feedback/communication issue, natch. I don’t get anything back from it. I mean, if anyone gets something from this thing, I’d like to know what and why—I’m not an entertainer, after all. I’m not performing a public peep show, though sometimes it feels that way.

Last week I had a Google hit from the search string ‘Tim Henman anti-semitism’—unremarkable in itself, perhaps (I made a couple of postings about Wimbledon… Read More »Anyone for Tennis?

Well, hey, as if I wanted an inspiration drain, here we go! The hot weather’s seriously developing and I’m in desperate need of a new fan for this room. The atmosphere is very… heavy.

Having said that, I still feel like I’m neglecting this place. Must try harder! 5/10.

Gone but not entirely forgotten. To tell the truth, I haven’t felt like writing anything lately. Trying to cope with the new puppy, who can’t be described as the most instantly disciplined dog ever born, has eaten a fair bit of time. (And we still haven’t settled on a proper name.)

For the Voyeurs

I forgot to mention there’s a Webcam on this site now [link on main page sidebar], so you can see intermittently updated bad quality snaps taken right from my desktop. If you’re so inclined. Which some people are.

No Nude Celebs Here

Do you look at your server logs very often? Chances are, you get hits that claim the referring site was something like www.nudecelebblogs.com. I wonder why they bother? This is in no way inducing me to bother looking at their stupid sites… as promotional tactics go, it’s utterly pathetic.

Testing Testing…

If this works, it means the site is working again. Lack of postings hasn’t been a sign of apathy, as those who’ve noticed the problems with the comments will know. Just technical trouble.

Damn, and I had so many brilliantly witty and insightful things to say in the last week. Sadly, I’ve forgotten them all now. 🙂

Raise a Glass

So Matthew has his own domain again: Planet Cutie. It’s a little empty at the moment, but pay him a visit anyway.

I’m not sure what made me think this, really… I was just pondering all the ‘dead’ sites out there. There are loads of ’em. There’s a site out there by me, actually, that hasn’t been updated for six years, but still exists. (Just a fan site on Geocities. I’ve long since been unable to access it.)
