Too tired

May 15, 2003

I'm too tired to know. I know on the grand scheme of things working 11 straight days (it'll be 12 tomorrow. A round dozen. How nice.) isn't all that major. But I'm utterly shagged anyway. All I wanna do is curl up in a small ball and let the next 62 days flow past. Two […]

Downloading mp3s is good for the music industry

May 14, 2003

I love it when I'm proved right. This from the Guardian: A new survey confirms what many of us guessed all along, that those evil music fans stealing pirated music from the web are more, not less, likely to go out and buy CDs. The research, from Nielsen NetRatings, showed that nearly 31 million active […]

On commenting, Fflwff's claws in my arse and dream blogs

May 14, 2003

I have the option of either finishing off today?s work now and not having to do it in the morning, or procrastinating by reading some blogs and writing my own. Difficult choice. I think you can tell which path I?m taking. I couldn?t resist commenting Joho The Blog?s blog. (Is he like Jones the Coal?) […]

What if?

May 13, 2003

They dropped two planes on Hounslow tonight. I wonder if any of the three houses I used to live in there were hit. I know Hounslow pretty well and remember only too clearly the howling whine of the jumbos as they?d hurtle right over my house, seeming scarily low some times. You could often smell […]

And after the colossal squid

May 12, 2003

Continuing the seafood theme, last night I dreamt of giant crabs, three foot across with pincers that could crush bricks. They were scuttling up the lane my parents live on, although no explanation as to what they were doing so far from the sea was forthcoming. At least one of them ended up on the […]

I quite often say 'Oi' to the cat as well.

Wikis, squids and MSN

May 11, 2003

By the time July comes, I will be long overdue for a holiday. When I woke this morning it felt as if I?d spent most of last night dreaming about wikis. In case you don?t know, a wiki is a web page which is updatable by any member of the public. At their best wikis […]

Going for a swim in the memepool

May 10, 2003

I?m just taking a break from the typesetting to read some stuff online. Yes, I know it?s Saturday, but time waits for no man, or woman for that matter. I must get my new version of the Get Fluent web site finished this weekend so that it?s ready to go live next week when the […]

Oh, but before I go…

May 9, 2003

I write my blogs in Word (oh gods, please forgive me my sins). I spellcheck them. I read them over several times. Then I cut and paste and post. Why do I never spot the typos until I've published them to Blog*Spot?
