This is the first proper post at the new address. All the old posts are still available in the archives, but only a month at a time. I can’t import them because Supanames do not have CURL enabled on their servers for so-called security reasons. 90% of linux hosts out there have CURL enabled with […]

Where is the shrine?
January 30th, 2006 · Comments Off on Where is the shrine? · Technology
The Shrine of Blind-Winger Jones has disappeared. It used to be here but that is just a 404 message now. I was reading some stories yesterday about how many Blogspot sites have been removed without warning and without the owners being aware. I wonder if this is one of those disappearances or just a bit […]
Moving from Blogger?
January 29th, 2006 · Comments Off on Moving from Blogger? · Technology
I am thinking about whether to move all this stuff and nonsense onto my own server/domain, mainly so I have the option of running more scripts and SSIs, which might give me the incentive to learn how to. The question is, do I just change the Blogger settings so that it publishes via ftp to […]
Braced for spam comments
December 4th, 2005 · Comments Off on Braced for spam comments · Technology
Blogger seem to be having a little technical problem with comments at the moment. It looks like it is the word verification which is playing up, so I am disabling that for now to see if that helps.
Blogger v WordPress
December 1st, 2005 · Comments Off on Blogger v WordPress · Technology
For a long time Blogger was the obvious choice for me, being a free hosted blog facility. WordPress had all sorts of enviable facilities, but required a bit of thought to set up, and a place to host it all. Now that WordPress has its own free hosted blog facility its all up in the […]
How does Blogger make money?
October 26th, 2005 · Comments Off on How does Blogger make money? · Life, Technology
I am reasonably familiar with the new media pardigms and the post-dot com business models – enough to spout such atrocious jargon anyway – but I can’t see why Blogger/Blogspot are in business. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy that they exist. From my point of view they are providing a facility which is […]

I’m not sure what it means, but its a new facility Blogger have added so I have enabled it. It seems to be an attempt to do something like trackbacks. I suspect that it doesn’t detect when somebody else links here, but only lists where people use it to create a link – and that […]
An end to spam?
August 21st, 2005 · Comments Off on An end to spam? · Technology
Spam is with us, and doesn’t look like going away any day soon, but as this article on Slashdot discusses, one aspect of it might start to diminish, and that is spam blogs or “splogs”. It seems that Blogger is one of the most affected providers, and one of the biggest culprits, and they are […]
Blogmap Tutorial
August 14th, 2005 · Comments Off on Blogmap Tutorial · Technology
Following the lead of Bloggers4labour I have tried adding a blogmap, which should be visible somewhere on the right. This was not entirely straightforward. I couldn’t find a clear step-by-step guide for doing it on Blogger so I had to look in several places for the various instructions. If there are any Blogger users who […]
First Post
July 29th, 2004 · Comments Off on First Post · Technology
I have been thinking about this blogging lark for a while now. I started to do one on my own home page but it soon got too much to handle because I was doing all the html by hand, and I was pretty busy at the time running in the elections for our local council. […]
