Whoever coined the phrase "World Wide Web" probably wasn’t expecting how coy his choice of phrase would be. I’m talking particularly of the word "web". The point of a spider’s web is that it is sticky: those that get caught up in seldom escape. And that is true of the World Wide Web: those that [...]

All The Small Things
I have to get some things off my chest. The following things are annoying me:
It took about eight hours to download a 1.3MB file today. Adobe have more money than knowledge. Bring back Macromedia.
There is a certain someone blocking me on Messenger.
My biggest excitement in the future is going to the MetroCentre tomorrow.

Suspicion
Well I finally axed Chris from list of contacts - and I blocked him too. The door is still open, but I’m not going to make any more effort than I have. He clearly thinks I am a waste of space so I shan’t intrude upon his list of contacts any longer. If he wanted [...]
I’ve Just Wondered…
…how my hit rate would change if I put a picture of my naked backside on here. Evidently, although my mind can wander to depressing and thought-provoking things, both the sublime and ridiculous often pass through.
I was talking to someone on Messenger today, and something struck me as odd. Actually, two things. One, that happiness [...]
