I am a geek: a proud, card-carrying member of the Geeky People of the World. I’d tell you that many of my friends are just as geeky, but that might offend some of them. So I’ll let them come out of the closet*, as it were on their own. I do the usual stuff that […]
So, every now and again I like to check up on my “missing” friends — you know the people you lost contact with, but you wish you hadn’t. I guess it’s sort of nostalgic. There aren’t that many that I’ve lost touch with that I wish I could reconnect with, but there are a few. […]
Ah, the video wars: HD-DVD versus Blu-Ray. I’ve been a champion of Blu-Ray for a number of reasons, and now it looks like the first real step towards a “winner” has been made. Blockbuster is going to go Blu-Ray. I favour Blu-Ray because it’s a better viewing experience, it stores a larger amount of data […]
I monitor my blog’s traffic to see what draws people in (see previous post) and it’s mostly uninteresting except in a statistical sort of way. However, this Google hit from earlier today made me laugh: “ keenan florida panthers why“ I can’t stand Keenan because I think he’s a prick. I don’t have much nice […]
I monitor my blog’s traffic regularly. Don’t be alarmed. While I could see where you all come from, what you’re looking for, and all that good stuff, I just don’t care to spend the time. I look at a few stats: 1. Keywords, 2. Country of Origin, and 3. Browser & Platform. I mention this […]
Normal people everywhere rejoiced as Paris Hilton, the out of control über-skank, was returned to jail today. Here’s a woman totally out of control, and her hangers-on have done nothing to tell her she’s behaving like a spoiled brat. At her age, it’s simply ghastly behaviour. Here are excerpts from the wire report; follow the […]
The Miami Herald and daily fishwrapper has slipped to a new low today. 5 June 2007 Dear Editor: I have been a subscriber of the Miami Herald for well over 20 years and I read it almost every single day. Lately the numbers of errors in proofreading have been utterly appalling. I am not sure […]
As you know, because I mentioned this in my blog previously, I sent all my photos and negatives in to be digitized. These come from the first batch that was returned in my digitizing project. The first batch returned consisted of negatives only and it was a great success on one level. On another it […]
I have decided to blog about a very unusual magazine to which I subscribe called Smoke, A London Peculiar. It’s no secret I’m a big fan of London, what with my London webpage and all. There are many magazines around on a great variety of subject, but few quite as peculiar as this one. Why […]
It’s thanks to the blog naturally. As of June 2005 there were 68 million web pages and that number has, quite obviously grown. A site called alexa.com ranks them all based on traffic analysis. If you’re in the top 100,000 you get all sorts of coolness factors. I’m not there — not even close. However, […]
