555 Days In

No I haven’t managed to say inside for 555 days in a row.  Even when I’m old and retired I don’t think I’ll be allowed that luxury.  No in this case, I’m 555 days into my 1001 list with 38 tasks completed.  Of the remaining tasks about 50% are in progress one way or another [...]

A Year, a Month and a Day

I’m blogging here after almost 400 days off – back to talking drivel, testing WP stuff and completing my 101 list.

List 101 Blues

Stupid Spammers

Don’t you stupid comment spmmers know that I (like all sane WP admins) have Akismet?

Wordplay Jokes

Today I’m thinking about jokes.  Mostly I’m thinking that I don’t remember them very well.  I suppose I prefer a visual gag (Harold Lloyd especially), but I also enjoy spoken gags that play on words.  My favourite being the Two Ronnies sketch in a hardware store where Ronnie Barker as a yokel asking for a [...]

101 things in 1001 days

I was searching around the Internet due to boredom and somehow I ended up on the blog of Lindsay Morgan Wright (how cool is that name?), I learned about banned books and a bit about what she does and doesn’t do.  She also has a page about 101 things in 1001 days where she lists [...]
