So, after yesterday’s discourse about

So, after yesterday’s discourse about blogs I don’t like, I’ve been thinking about what I want this one to be…

It strikes me that there are a few basic types of blog:
1) Personal diaries.
2) Lists of links.
3) Comments on news.

Now, I really don’t fancy the first one. I’m too private, for one thing, plus I don’t think anyone in the world really cares about how much sodding static electricity there is in the office where I work.

So that leaves me with the links & commenting options—which is what I think I’ll try. A mix of things I find interesting, plus my perspective on them. Could be fun.

Yikes! Because I’m a geek,

Yikes! Because I’m a geek, I had a scan through of the groovymother access_log. Now, I set-up the server at 8.15pm, and the only person I mentioned the site to was my lovely ladyfriend, but already there have been nine other visitors to the site! It took me a moment to work out how the heck they found this, before it hit me. On the Blogger homepage is a list of the 10 most recently updated blogs, and all the hits were round about times I was posting stuff and/or fannying about with the design.

So, welcome strangers. Pull up a pew! Have a scone! And please try to ignore the dubious stains on the carpet.

Some good news at this

Some good news at this early hour. After the crap-horror-movie-style “Ouch I’m dead”/“BOO! Not really”/“Bah, you got me this time” finale of The Industry Standard’s indispensible Media Grok email newsletter, the team that produced it are back in town for Media Unspun. I’ve already forked over my cash. Go subscribe and see why.
