Never blog an hour or so before you decide to throw up and get a bad case of the vertigos. Not that it was a conscious decision, but the resultant blog post was a lot more depressing than I had originally anticipated or meant.
Ah well, I shall leave the original blog post up for posterity’s sake, no censorship here… and now if you don’t mind I am off to go and call for Ralph and Huey down the large white telephone.
I find myself uninspired this morning, and late yesterday afternoon in fact. This little post has had several titles and even more first paragraphs, and still I can’t quite find the words to type! I *was* going to put something about the new design, etc., and how this will allow me to put new stuff on the blog, but after the twentieth edit and rewriting… I kinda gave up!
Forgot tea bags for work this morning, and the gym session was spoiled by having to take upto 30 minutes to park the car in the works multi-storey car park (strange mutterings were heard from my car regarding the car parking monkies who were not exactly doing a sterling job in getting the traffic flowing).
On the good news front, I have finally found the P45 from my previous employers so I should hopefully stop being strangled by the taxman on my next wage packet – woohoo! I have also remembered to bring my Christmas pressie, a copy of the book “Bringing nothing to the party: true confessions of a new media whore” by Paul Carr which I blogged about earlier.
I shall give you a review of the book when it has been consumed.
Apart from that, I can’t think what to type.. as I said, completely uninspired!
Do you know, one day I will actually remember to update this thing on a more regular basis! I suppose the underlying issues that I have are;
Just as a nice little visual clue to my ever changing moods, I have uploaded some rather nice self-generated avatars. So don’t get too surprised when these little piccies start popping up all over the place, to give you a little flavour of todays ‘mood a la troozers’.
I am still trying to get used to this blogging software, as well as try and develop some discipline to actually sit down in front of a PC and write something down. Of course the actual problem may be that I don’t have enough of a life to actually write down, which is somewhat of a sobering thought.
Well, true to form I managed to muck up the configuration on my shiny new domain name and didn’t hit the right buttons in the GoDaddy domain management interface. The result? The blog was here but no-one could see it!
I am still working on my paranoia; that in fact it was a conspiracy by ICANN to silence me and not let my voice out into the series of tubes that is the Internet.
It is here now for your general amusement, bewilderment and apathy. This does of course mean that I also need to update it too :-/
…now how does these ‘category’ things work?
Well, after a looooong absence the Andy Stewart blog is finally back. Let’s face it the original one was hardly updated on a frequent basis, due to no small part to my laziness. This lackluster also seems to have permeated to my management of the domain ‘andy-stewart.com’, which while I was looking the other way was half-inched from underneath my nose (it is a very big nose, so this task isn’t as hard as it sounds).
Despite some wailing, beating of chests and snivelling on my part – the powers that be, who control the whole series of tubes that is the Internet, decided I really didn’t deserve it and passed my old domain onto some global conglomerate with evil desires on the world (..or possibly some other bloke called ‘andy stewart’). I secretly think that what actually happened is that ICANN actually *READ* my old blog and thought; “ooooh crumbs! we can’t let that kinda rubbish out”
But as they say, you can’t keep a bad blog down; and here it is re-launched on the world, with a new domain name, new engine underneath it and a sparkly new look. Some things may change as I get more used to wordpress and I find new ‘themes’ that I think may suit better – but one thing will remain constant… my inability to update this on anything that looks like a regular basis or the standard of written english when I finally do put pen to paper!
Word up to Mr Fitchett who for some bizarre reason still keeps occasionally referring to me in his blog (yep mate, I actually *do* still read your blog on a worryingly regular basis), so in an effort to actually deserve his faith that anything changes in my life I will attempt to bore you all to tears with the details.
So, till the next post….. (don’t hold your breath!)
