Here’s how interesting the scenery out and about today was:
Well, I went to Brum yesterday (and Merryhill Wednesday), which was slightly more riveting, but I think I wanted a really boring photo to capture the true West Midlands spirit! Can you identify this spot? I picked a more obscure area/angle to make it harder.

Although I had a few postings planned, raging apathy has kept me from bothering this week. I am still intensely bored with the Internet (and therefore finding it hard to be bothered writing this stuff)… which is rather ironic, as we’ve ordered a new computer.
Speaking of new, the new carpet was fitted on Wednesday. It makes the place look a lot better. The new fridge and cooker arrive tomorrow, so the microwave-only spell will be over at last.

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
I am feeling a little disillusioned again. It’s not been a good few weeks, and I can’t help noticing that I’ve largely failed to write anything even slightly interesting on this blog for some time. Depending on how you define interesting, maybe.
Perhaps a break is a good idea. I might feel better when this move is out of the way, but it’s dragging on ridiculously, to be honest. There isn’t any solid reason that it wasn’t more or less finalised a month ago. I’m incredibly bored, and I feel this is making anything I say incredibly boring…

Following the last miserable entry, I guess I decided a slight redesign of the site was in order, to justify its existence. Call it therapy.… Read More »Justification
My mood isn’t as bad today. I’m just weary of being messed around. If anyone out there has a job for me, get in touch!… Read More »Oh… What-Ever!
Like the new logo? I’m still working on the site here and there. I haven’t used graphical logos for some time, because some browsers (IE 5 & 6, at least) have issues with locally cached copies of transparent gifs. I wanted to use a jpeg instead. Hey, they look better, anyway.
What I didn’t know, until a few days ago, is that you can convert HTML colour codes into RGB ones using Windows Calculator (scientific mode), meaning you can enter the exact RGB codes into just about any decent paint prog and have a perfect match with your background, or any other colours coded into your site. No need for transparency! (Unless you’re using a textured background, anyway.)
