I already have far too many blogs on my Fave list – I haven’t got the time to read them all on a regular basis. However, I really do have to add Pop Occulture to the list. He writes intelligently and knowledgably about pop culture and occultism, with loads of articles whose very titles scream […]

Spent the last two and a half hours setting up a server on my comp. I need one to properly teach myself PHP, and to also test out various CMSs and doing it all remotely is too slow. I’ve got Apache, PHP5 and MySQL installed and configured, but the blimmin’ PHPadmin keeps telling me that […]
This blog post made me weep….
Reading a couple of other blogs…. One is of a graphic artist/designer. Let’s call him Eejit. Never met him. but last year, he and I had an electronic spat when I dared to criticise his ghastly frames-ridden website in my blog. He was enormously childish about it.

Went into the woods this morning and got some pics of the bluebells. They’re late in blooming this year, as everything is. But now they’re out, it’s a beautiful sight!
First it was Opus Dei, then it was the Catholics. Now albinos have it in for Dan Brown’s bestseller: As Tom Hanks’ “The Da Vinci Codeâ€? opening looms May 19, featuring an albino character as a murderous, self-flagellating monk, a Hingham-born albino moviemaker is set to screen his own film tomorrow in Boston that wryly […]
Don’t have time to read all this article now, but it seems to have some good points: Something terribly important has been missing from discussions orbiting around the Mohammed cartoons. It’s a simple point, but one whose recognition is utterly crucial to the functioning of a healthy democratic society. The avoidance of it is, I’m […]
