I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
WordPress has changed entirely since I first started blogging and, because of the length of time between my last efforts and now, it’s a bit of a mystery how it functions! I’m still having all sorts of issues just finding out how to make new posts. It’ll be a few hours, or days before I … More Ch.. ch.. ch.. changes
So far settled on the 2016 default WordPress theme. It’s certainly good enough for now, tho will need some configuring. If I thought I’d attract an audience of millions I might be more inclined to be more adventurous, but for now at least, this’ll do 🙂
It’s been years since I wrote in here, and it was many years ago that I started writing. Previously the site was known as Opinion Australia but after a series of blunders by TPP (website providers) I lost most of my sites including this one. Luckily however the larger part of the content was preserved … More Here we go again
On reflection perhaps the problem is actually just the title of the blog. Times have changed and I’m not really sure I *want* to ramble incessantly about ‘the world as I see it’. Perhaps I really should give up on the blog in this format and create a new one based loosely around my life … More Thinking it over…
If it isn’t obvious, I got ‘disenchanted’ with blogging a long time ago. I think I just got bored more than anything else, or perhaps I found soemthing else to occupy my mind/time/etc which ever, I just stopped almost a year ago. I came back a few months later to have a look around, but … More It's been a while.
It’s been a long time since I ‘blogged in anger’, months in fact. I’ve spent much of the last few months posting on the sister forum (Australian Opinion) mostly wrecking and rebuilding it. However I miss the old blog site where I can just say whatever the hell I like without having to take into … More Anyone still out there… ??
Billions again wiped off the financial markets. The biggest drop in total sharemarket value in decades. Financial ‘experts’ all round the world perplexed and unsure what’s going on. Sound familiar? Maybe it’s ‘Wall Street 1929’ all over again! It’s nearly time to stock the cupboards, lock the doors and pass the ammo!
We learned this morning of the death of Wendy Richards who finally succumbed to breast cancer after a long struggle, she was 65. Wendy was a favourite on the small screen for in Britain for many, many years both as a ‘blonde bombshell’ Miss Brahms in the classic series “Are You Being Served”, and as … More Vale Wendy Richards
Some statistics have been released which, if correct, maye you wonder what’s happening over in ‘dear old blighty’. The figures released imply that 1 in 9 people living in Britain were born ‘overseas’. Globalisation, cheap travel, easy migration and wide differences in living standards have encouraged people to move in ever greater numbers from place … More What does it mean to be "British"?
The concept of ‘cloud computing’ had me very confused for a while, I really had no clue what these buzz words actually meant., or what benefit it would give me. Eventually ‘daylight dawned’ and I not only understood what the pundits meant, I discovered that I’d actually been using it for some time! 🙂 At … More Cloud Computing – getting closer!
