Quiet

Paul — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 17:36:08 +0000

Boy it’s quiet round here, eh? I am snowed under by a combination of work, domesticity and online flash games. Oh, and apathy. But mostly flash games.

I’m currently pondering switching over to a somewhat longer post once per week. I’ve the feeling this would be a lot less work than either a) my previous near-daily posts, and b) my current nothingness (because the guilt, she weighs heavy). In the meantime, go play a flash game.

Theme Change

Paul — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 12:36:05 +0000

Yes, it’s that time again – very simple so far, but gives me plenty of room for noodling.

BoPL, now with more me!

So following the instructions here I’m now posting the things I share via Google Reader to this blog. This makes things much easier for me, so you’ll all be blessed with many more insights into how you should vote (if you can) in the upcoming US election (a clue: it rhymes with ‘gobama’). Aren’t you lucky?

Theme Change!

Paul — Tue, 27 May 2008 11:59:19 +0000

Yes, it’s that time again. Actually I started this because I have a post where I’m trying to publish a snippet of text beginning with an xml declaration, and I can’t get it to display – even using the pre tag it seems the browser tries to render it as something other than the text. Any suggestions gratefully received – right now I’m going to see if a bit of white space will fix it.

Feed Stats

Paul — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 09:42:20 +0000

There’s a new feature in Google Reader that lets you see how many subscribers a blog has. If you try to add a new feed, using its name rather than the URL, it provides a page of likely matches including the number of subscribers through Reader (not the overall total).

The reason I mention this is that I have 5 subscribers through Reader. Not only is this around 4 more subscribers than I knew about, but I didn’t realize that anyone I know is using Reader. My testosterone levels have been boosted by this fame so much that, if my in-laws weren’t visiting, I would ravish my wife on the sofa. As it is a game of Dice Mogul will have to do.

BlogRush

Paul — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 08:48:44 +0000

Determined not to miss out on the next MyFaceKut*, I’ve signed up for BlogRush, which as far as I can tell is a pyramid scheme for advertising your blog. It’s biggest failing as a pyramid scheme is that it’s free, but as that’s not a failing I have to pay for I’m giving it a whirl. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you can see what all the fuss is about. OK, so there isn’t any fuss yet, but when there is you’ll be forewarned, which is as good as being forearmed. Though I don’t suppose you’ll need to bare arms against a site syndication widget.

*You haven’t heard of it? It’s a chat forum for emos and goths.

Light Posting

Paul — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 17:26:13 +0000

On vacation this week, so posting will be strictly whim-based.

New Theme

Paul — Tue, 15 May 2007 09:34:30 +0000

Yes, that time again. The new theme is the first I’ve installed that worked without any tweaking, though there may be a few changes I’ll make.

600

Paul — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 14:20:39 +0000

This is approximately my 600th post. I can’t be definitive cus I don’t quite understand how WordPress counts them, but let’s celebrate anyway.

w00t!

OK, you can go back to work now.

Coolness

Thanks to this plugin y’all now have little avatar monster thingies next to your comments, no work required (it’s all based off your email address, apparently). Feel free to comment meaninglessly here if you want to see what you look like down one of the interweb tubes.

Update: New version released, so your pictures have changed (and are, if anything, even cooler now)
