The ramblings of a discombobulated mind
OK, so I must have missed the upgrade notification…but it would appear that we are all dealing with Web 2.0 these days…by the mere act of blogging this, I have added to the interactive and social aspect of the web (apparently).
I don’t understand the term to be honest..I mean, surely it is just Web with [...]
Photo by Xosé CastroI don’t know if I can say that I am completely suffering from writers block right now…writers malais possibly, writers half a job definitely…the problem I have is that I have ideas…see things, hear things that would normally dump me in front of my PC for a decent writing session.

Apparently, a particularly aggressive blogger in a town in the UK forced pretty much all of the local council to resign, due to “Impossible Working Conditions”.
Sensitive much?
Now, I am under no illusions about my tales of drunken friends exploits [...]
…where chainletters and their ilk had gone to…wonder no more.
As far as I can tell, they all seem to have migrated over to that wondrous and oft ranted about (by me at least) site, Facebook. I am not entirely sure when this happened…I used to enjoy learning how my forwarding an email to 20 people [...]

Nothing to see here, move along.
I can’t think of a single thing to write about today, and it’s a slow news day (at least as far as the two news pages I visit are concerned). I suppose I could analyse a classic hit from the 70’s, 80’s or 90’s, but frankly I am tired and [...]

Photo by Ed YourdonApparently there is set to be an epic battle soon. It is the stuff of heroes, villains, life and, indeed, death. Kings and Queens will send troops across the abyss to their death or, maybe, glory.
