My Political Education: Lesson 1

This discussion is what I live for. Its why I’m under construction. I’m going to continue it here because I don’t want to get too far off topic on Samizdata and I want to find out where it takes me. The destination is not all that important, as long as I learn something along the […]

I noticed something last night…

I was sitting at the kitchen window, lookiing up at the small patch of sky visible from my perch and smoking a cigarette (yes I know, I gave up but I started again, its my wifes fault) and I realised that I wasn’t angry. Now if you’re a regular reader you’ll now that I’m angry […]

It Has Begun…

I am officially a house-husband. The wife started work yesterday so I was left with sprog for the three hours she was at work. Such fun!. She’ll be gone longer today and I have jobs to do, whereas yesterday I didn’t so we’ll see how that goes.
Other news: I can heartily reccommend Company of Heroes, […]

Theocracy in all but name…

Jesus Camp Trailer - YouTube

Separation of church and state my bum. These people want you living in a theocracy based on fundamentalist christian teachings. End of the world and all that jazz. Fanatics and zealots the lot of them. The scariest part of this trailer is the part where the preacher asks a bunch of […]

New pages…

You’ll notice two new pages in the list at the far right of the screen About and Religion. I worked hard on them so I’d like people to read them and let me know what they think (also if you could point out any spelling mistakes or glaring grammatical errors I’d be very grateful :-))

Boing Boing: Flu, hernia, or police more likely to kill you than Al Qaeda
We’re not paralyzed with fear at the thought going to work (59,730 deaths since 1995*), walking down the street (52,000), or falling (146,542). Neither do we harp on at the government to protect us from these dangers which are even more unpredictable […]

Now to business…

Right, I’m putting out this appeal. If anyone has a link to me on their page let me know in the comments and I’ll sort out linking back. I lost my links in the transition.
Work on the site proceeds apace. you probably haven’t noticed any changes but its all happening in the background. Plugins currently […]

Settled at last…

Finally found a theme for WP that I can tweak quite easily, I’ll use this as a basis for ongoing work on the layout and design. So far I can recommend WordPress. Apart from losing posts I haven’t had any problems with it at all.
Let me know what you think of the new look.

Thats the spam dealt with…

In the time between installing wordpress and activating the comment spam filtering gubbins (about 18-24 hours) I got 48000 spam comments which I’ve just had to go through and delete manually.
I’ve also noticed that where there should be 200+ posts there are only 32. Alot more was lost in the migration than I first thought. […]

August seems to be missing….

Under Construction v2.0 is now in business, template tweaks and plugin hunting aside. Welcome to the dawn of a new age.
All posts made in August and September 2006 seem to have been lost in the conversion between Nuclues and WordPress. Oh well. No great loss really.
