Feb 10: That is just *weird*

OK, so there's a 365/1 chance of this happening (actually, I suppose Leap Years change the odds slightly) but when I decided to have a quick look at just how atrocious my blogging frequency has been over the past year, I thought I'd take a quick look back at old entries.

It's not something I do often (... and, yes, I know dates on my blog posts would be nice. It isn't like people haven't told me. I've just had other stuff to do and that one is filed under 'Migrate to WordPress'. But that isn't the point here.)

Regardless of the lack of clear dates on posts, I can inform you reliably that my very first post was on 10th February, 2005. I don't know what possessed me to try blogging again today, but it's precisely 8 years to the day since I started .... (As usual, it's hardly mind-blowing or informative ;-))

Hey, Joel

Because I read your comment on my phone, I missed the picture!

Thanks :-)

Doug

Yeah, and unfortunately your blog software wouldn't let me embed the flash link. But then again, I wouldn't let me embed flash either. ;-)

Christ, you are still not on Wordpress? And you call yourself a software guru! ;-) Come on over to the WP side of things; we've got ambrosia and nectar to last us an eternity!

LOL ... Tell me about it!

I would like to stick with my mate for web hosting so just waiting to discuss WP installation with him.

But, to be honest, I'm just struggling to get things done at the moment ;-)

Did you know that I'm currently making a living setting up WordPress sites? And I am looking for new clients right now. :-)

I'll send you a private email to chat more. (Wouldn't you love to take revenge for all those grievances when we worked together?)

Hi Gustav,

I'd like to make a friendly request - and just a request - to perhaps consider using a word other than "Christ" for emphasis. I absolutely know you meant no offense, and I absolutely know it's your choice. It would be a favor to me and others who hold that name sacred. Either way, thanks for reading what I had to say :-)

Let's be honest. Without years in your dates, you could have linked to ANY 10 February post ;-)
