I’ve spent a chunk of the day today setting the ‘oldgreypoet.com’ domain pointers to direct visitors here. ’Propagation’ is in progress and I expect the job to be done by end of business on Monday. Things may be a little erratic until then.
I’m dropping the old, very expensive webspace. It’s been an age since I used it properly. In consequence the old Barbellion pages will disappear, along with my poetry and prose pages, and the mess of photo archives.
Feels good to be free of all that old stuff, though I do of course have paper and disk copies locally. I’ll be starting a new poetry section here as new poems emerge. Photos and such will have to wait until I find a good way to store and display them, as good as the blog software that now holds the journal.
Frankly, I’m getting to be too old to fuss about with websites and html and such.
Anyway.
Today has been a rest day. Graham’s been playing with his computer, and has resisted the urge to get down on hands and knees to continue the project. He’s at a natural break point with it, and deserves a little respite time. Here in Wales it’s a big Rugby day, with the Welsh side playing England at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff. I’m keeping my head down. It’s fun being the only Englishman in the village but there are times when discretion is the better part of valour.
I am, of course, only kidding.
Don’t know about that, John. Low profile, yes, and be sure to carry a nice bouquet of leeks. That should do it!
So is Graham rooting for Wales and you for England?
Leeks is a good idea!
Now after I typed in the name and website stuff I forgot what I was going to say. lol
Oh I know I was going to ask if you still had pictures on Flickr and might that be a place for them?
Looks as if some people have to type in name and website stuff to climb out of the ‘anonymous’ cloud, folks. Sorry ’bout that!
This is probably a good point at which to repeat that only ‘name’ is required. Website is optional, and turns ‘name’ into a clickable pointer. ‘email’ is entirely up to you and is never publicly posted–only I can see it.
As to Flickr. Tried it. Didn’t like it.
Am I the only one who either manufactured or ‘got’ a Little Britain reference?
I like it when my references, sacred or profane, are picked up.
;-D And a nod to your discreet and lowered head. I find myself in the same predicament quite often, here in the Cheolsan section of Gwangmyeong City.
