It’s been a sitting indoors, keeping quiet, playing with the computer, ready at all times to obey the “Tea, please!” command kind of day, with the devil looking over my shoulder, searching for idle hands.
Somewhere late in the morning I had a bit of a brainwave. I spend a lot of time ‘playing with the computer’–read ‘surfing’ or ‘researching’ if it pleases you better. Could be that by reintroducing the advertisements feature (AdSense) I can turn my idle thoughts and a few references to advantage with minimum impact on the content. Can’t do that here on WordPress–it’s against the rules–but Blogger permits it, and indeed, makes it easy. Might have something to do with both Blogger and AdSense being children of Google, of course, but that’d be a churlish way to think.
So, while I’m noodling at the thought, and wondering about it, I’ve created a shadow Blogger journal. Click here to see it.
I’m making no promises or threats. I’m well aware that some folks loathe advertising on the Internet, though I must observe that it’s darned close to impossible to avoid it. I value my readership, and all my friends, very highly, and shall not lightly desert a single one of them. It may be that the best way forward is to run the two versions in parallel, so far as content is concerned.
We’ll see. I have a feeling that the tone and nature of my ‘content’ is changing as I get older. I seem to need some kind of stimulus to keep my interest alive and this might, just might be one way to contribute to it.
Our new copy of Stargate Atlantis series 1-5 arrived this morning. I did as directed and sampled a programme at random and was impressed with the quality. The packaging is odd, however, and the provenance of the copy a little shady. We will investigate carefully, and quietly, of course, but I think my famous “we’ll see” might well apply here.
Oh. Oh. The “Tea, please” command has just been issued. I’d better get going. Time to start our dinner anyway. Fish pie tonight. Yummity. Something really, really reassuring about fish pie. The guy in the video might be something of a jerk, but his recipe and method (and foul language) are very close to my own.
