Not Blogging
October 31, 2001 | 1 Comment
I’m aware that I haven’t blogged much in recent days, and the reason for that is that the times when I would usually have taken a moment or ten to do so are the same times when I’ve been redeveloping the site. Hopefully now I can not fiddle with anything to much for a […]

Toby mailed round the following link just now, and while I find it disturbing, having visited the States many times and indeed lived there for a while, I can’t honestly say that I’m surprised.

Look at the time…. I really ought to be posting to a late-night blog, but I can’t get in. Oh well, let’s try again on the sleeping thing.

Right, that’s it - all-new, all-different, all-live. Will it last? Who can tell?

Nearly there

Well, as soon as I manage successfully to re-import the old blog postings from Blogger to Movable Type, everything’s ready to switch on - which I’ll do sometime early this evening, so that I can run through stuff later and double check once it’s all live - by the time I got in last night, […]

I may learn - one
October 28, 2001 | Comments Off
I may learn - one of these days…… I’ve been working on the revised, revamped, all-new, all-different, version of the site on and off today, and of course, once I start playing with one thing, I realise it’s an opportunity to tweak another, and the upshot is that although I’m pleased with it so […]

I picked up The Essential
October 27, 2001 | Comments Off
I picked up The Essential Alison Moyet today, and it’s remarkable - I hadn’t registered how she sums up an entire era in my life. The Yazoo and the early solo years dovetail entirely with my mid-late teens, leaving secondary school, then sixth-form, and so on. Huge, crashing waves of memory leave me […]

I’m reading Douglas Coupland’s Microserfs
October 26, 2001 | Comments Off
I’m reading Douglas Coupland’s Microserfs at the moment, which somehow I’ve managed never to read before. It’s interesting, and rather nostalgic, in a ’set at a point in time before Microsoft ever integrated the Office applications into a suite. I’ll review it fully when I’m done, but one thing that makes me smile […]

Okay - I’m excited about

Okay - I’m excited about this, but I’m completely prepared to be the only one who is:
There’s a comic called Zot! that was published a few years ago in two separate runs, the first in colour, then switching to black and white. It was created by Scott McCloud, and essentially told the story of […]

A few people have asked
October 23, 2001 | Comments Off
A few people have asked about my observation the other day that I’d like this blog to be an element of a wider site, rather than all the other bits and pieces here hanging off the blog. Which seems a good cue to discuss where I’m going with it.
Basically, one of the things that […]
