Kits and Mortar Tumblr Strange Attractor Del.icio.us links TwitterJust found out that my wee blog ranks 14,647th in the Technorati cosmos, which is not bad going considering that it indexes 1.6 million blogs. Technorati ranks not on traffic, but on inbound links, which is I suppose both a measure of popularity and interestingness, as people have to first know about you in order […]
Now GT's on CNN! And I missed that too! Pfft!
If Orkut only ever does one useful thing, then it will have been showing me pictures of all the #joiito dudes.
If it does two, then the second will be introducing me to A Subtle Sweetness. Any blog that recomments peanut oil for cooking in has to be worthy of further inspection, and has to […]
And when the bastard gets nicked he's going down for 15 to life, I swear.
The only useful thing I've done today was one script review. Admittedly that was fairly worthwhile, but really, not worthwhile enough to redeem the rest of the day.
Tomorrow… I shall pack. I shall do another script review. And I shall […]
And don't you forget it.
But in the meantime, go visit GapingVoid and buy me some blogcards as a token of your affection.
Bloody IRC. Can't get anything done for the interesting chitchat in #joiito and #cym. I'm going to have to get the better of it soon, just as soon as I've delt with Orkut.
Must stop playing on the internet. I have scripts to review, my own to edit, boxes to pack (up to 30 packed […]
Via Neil Gaiman comes news of a pickled Victorian baby dragon, found in a jar full of formaldehyde at the back of someone's garage.
It may be a fake, but it's such a cute fake! Whoever did it might have been intending to defraud the British scientific community by passing it off as the real thing, […]
The one time I'm not being force-fed a steady diet of Fox News and Gary Turner goes and gets interviewed on it! Isn't that just typical? Mind you, maybe it's better that way. My squeals of excitement at seeing Gary on tv could possibly have broken windows for miles around, and that wouldn't be useful […]
The office in the loft is now empty. All the eaves are now no more than hollow spaces home to spiders.
I was up there, looking out of the window at the fields and woods that surround us, wondering how it was that I've lived here since I was six, yet I've never walked up […]
Say nighty night to my favourite rock, everyone. He's going buh-byes for a while, whilst we move.
In case you were wondering, I've had this rock since I was a kid - it's a piece of serpentine, picked up on The Lizard in Cornwall. It's possibly why I did a degree in geology. Well, that […]
No, I did. I opened up this tab with this blog admin page in it specifically because I had something important to say. It was something short and pithy which would really have made you laugh.
Well, that's pre-senility for you.
We don't have mains sewerage here - too far off the beaten track, apparently. Instead we have a local mini sewerage plant that serves just these eight houses. That's an improvement on the old system, where the waste would just sit in the cess pits until collected fortnightly by the council, but we do still […]
Between lil ol' me and Steven Spielberg. The link? Why, the inimitable Joi Ito of course (pics).
They say that the power of networking lies in the weak links, the people you sort of know who know someone you need to know. If this isn't a weak, yet potentially rather spiffy, link, I don't know what […]
Mum teaches of an evening and has a rule that if it snows, she doesn't go. No one would turn up anyway.
This week's forecasts of snow have, though, been met with some derision and the repeated refrains “Oh, they can't forecast snow!” and “It never snows here anyway”. Which is true. It really never […]
It's not often you get limerick composed in your honour:
Suw, our blogging friend from near Bournemouth
Watched Trumpton while feeling forlorn. Cuth-
bert Dibble and Grubb
Became her social hub,
and beside her, covered in popcorn, Knuth.
Admittedly, The Limerickster had a few problems with rhyming 'Bournemouth' - which should be pronounced 'bornmuth' in case you're thinking that 'mouth' doesn't […]
