In a predictable move, I’ve made yet another link to places on the web. There is a Blog Tree button on my navigation bar (as part of my nice little collection).

It shows where this site drew initial influence from (think “parent” sites). If, in the future, anyone is influenced by me, I might become a proud “parent” myself, with my own children. That’s a long way away though.

You might have noticed a tiny xml button appear on the navigation bar. Those in the know will, well, know that it’s an RSS button. The front page of this site is now available in the RSS format for those that have aggregators. Don’t say I’m not good to you.

When making omlettes ensure the following:

• Use enough eggs,
• Make sure the oil is heated properly,
• Don’t attempt to use a technique that you only half saw a professional chef use to make it,
• and, importantly, know how to cook.

The end result was… interesting.

Sometimes new words are great:

Anticipointment

What viewers experience when you fall short of their expectations after over-promoting a story or show.

While I might not use it in the context of television, I can see it being added to my vocabularly.

I tried to update this site today, but to no avail. It seems that my hosts are down again. I don’t mind the odd bit of downtime, I really don’t, but this is the second time in as many weeks. I need to find a new host.

Anyway, today’s updates will be made offline and then uploaded at a later date. Such are the benefits of having a robust, database-free CMS offline: synchronising is cheap and easy (most modern FTP clients can do this for you), server downtime doesn’t limit productivity, and you have somewhere to rant.

It should also be mentioned that the local copy of my CMS, Finetto, is more advanced than the online copy since it has all the latest updates I’m making.
