I haven’t looked at my search requests for a while. Most of them come from Google, and I get quite a lot of them these days, even if my regular readership has remained fairly static.
Here are the searches I’ve had since around 10pm last night (w/my comments added):
CHEZ CHRISSIE
Presumably, someone who knows this site’s title/URL, but prefers to surf in from Google rather than use a bookmark. Bizarre.

My host, Datasnake, moved to a new server over the weekend, so you might have noticed a few hiccups and slight weirdness. Movable Type grumbled… Read More »We Resume Normal Services
Noticing that some people still look here every day, it seems almost churlish to be neglecting this place. But I really haven’t had anything interesting… Read More »Whatever
Speaking of all this design stuff… actually, I do have a serious problem. A problem that would make it hard for me to even do a new logo for this site, for instance.
The logo at the top of the page (at the time of writing!) was done in Photoshop 4.0 on my old computer. It was nothing fancy; two gradient fills stitched together, Black Chancery font stretched vertically a little bit, standard emboss filter. That’s as fancy as my logos get, anyway.
Then: new computer, not running Win98 but WinXP. It doesn’t like Photoshop 4.0. It hangs/exits very frequently on load and save of images. I’m sure this is due to the age of the software. So now I’m stuck with a thing called PhotoStudio (I think it came with my old scanner), which works fine but is frankly crap!

It’s odd how my vocal acceptance of Web design not being the career for me causes another long debate about it! I can’t escape from it.
What I really want is to go into brain surgery. But I need practice. I have a load of good utensils in the kitchen. Volunteers? Er, no one’s doubting my inestimable skill are they?

Well, it’s now December, which means this blog’s three years old. How scary. Life was quite substantially different three years ago (in both a better way and a worse way). Starting a blog was just a laugh at the time, which on reflection might be the best attitude to have, since looking for a greater importance seems bound to fail.

Okay, so I’m writing even less than usual. I have an excuse, apart from apathy. I’ve had a really terrible cold since Tuesday. Mostly in… Read More »Under the Weather
I can honestly say, right now, the Internet is boring the hell out of me in a bigger way than at any other point in my eight years online.
Hence, the lack of blogging. I find it hard to see the point in bothering at the moment. I’m certainly not part of the Blogging Community, if such a thing exists, and I don’t feel this blog gives me any kind of real connection with other people. The worst thing is, people only tend to respond to me when I’m ranting. From that, I must infer that I’m boring as hell when I’m not having a moan! That doesn’t provide me with very much incentive. I’m not gonna moan to get attention, but I can’t be bothered wasting my time on something that people find dull, either. Maybe I am dull!

TrackBack’s gone. For now. Notwithstanding the fact that it seems wildly unlikely anyone would ping one of my entries, plus the fact that traffic here… Read More »TrackBack Sucks
