I see that brother-in-law Rob has started a blog now, under the catchy title of 17th-Century Indonesian Micro-Puppet Warfare. It is brand-new, but should be interesting. I predict lots of science, astronomy, environmentalism, mentalism, humanism, photos, folk music and prog rock.
Catch it while it still looks good – i.e. before he gets carried away with [...]

What is a blog?
December 24th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Technology
From a book called Viral Loop: the power of pass-it-on by Adam L.Penenberg:
It has evolved into a sphere of memes and ideas constantly shaped by the millions of Web users who write, read, and comment on blogs, many of whom followed links there, which were themselves spread virally. In a sense, the blogosphere operates in [...]
Paranoid

A slight return to the song title subject lines for this one – though there is another Black Sabbath song that I could have chosen instead. This is old news (it appeared in the Crawley Observer on Dec 2nd) but I never got round to writing about it at the time, being more interested in [...]

Blogger 1 – Council 0
October 30th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Politics
Let me see if I have got this right: somebody writes a blog with posts that criticise the performance and bahaviour of his local council, and the majority of councillors resign. Sounds a bit unlikely and too good to be true.

Benn says blog
July 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Politics
Tony Benn said lots of things last night. There were observations, reminiscences, aspirations, explanations, theories, jokes, and so on, but unlike most politicians he did not give out instructions. Maybe that is what makes him different. Anyway, one of the few specific pieces of advice was to blog. He said that he intends to [...]

Meeting Tony Benn
July 1st, 2009 · No Comments · Politics
Today I went down to Worthing for ‘an evening with Tony Benn’. This was a fundraiser for his grandaughter, Emily, who is the parliamentary candidate down there, and a very pleasant evening it was too.

Not a real blogger
April 28th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Life
I think I have to hold my hands up, turn in my anorak, and admit that I am not a real blogger for three reasons:
Left a whole week between posts
Most serious bloggers can’t leave it seven hours, let alone seven days
Offered no explanation for the week of silence
And I am still making no excuses or [...]
Another day, another website

Lots of new websites on the go at the moment, which only partly explains the lack of activity on this one.
Gravatars
January 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Technology
One of the few visible changes resulting from my upgrade to Wordpress 2.7 is that gravatars are now enabled here. They are supposed to show up in the ‘recent comments’ box but they don’t, and that is something I have to look into, but they are showing up in the comments of individual posts – [...]

You would not expect Hazel Blears’ comments on political blogging to be well received by political blogs, and the reaction has been predictably hostile. Personally, I don’t think she has really got it, but I am a lot more interested in some of the other topics she talked about.
