I’ve never bothered to read up on the filibuster until today. Having said that, I *was* aware of it, vaguely recalling the issue from the 1939 movie “Mr Smith Goes to Washington” starring James Stewart where he spoke for 25 hours attempting to defeat an appropriations bill he objected to. The entire notion of the … More The Filibuster… what??
As far as I can make out, Google is threatening to suspend all news searches because the government wants them to pay for access to the stories. You can see why. Content creators pay for reporters, editors, printing, office space etc and depend on advertising to provide an income stream to stay in business. If … More Google to censor News Sources?
Decided it’s time to stop the pointless rambling on and on about TPP and the way the site looks and concentrate on *real* content. So, from here on in, even tho there’ll be more more rants and rambles, they’ll hopefully be related to other, more diverse topics. 😀
Seems TPP have finally come to the party and have reinstated some of the sites they’d messed up… back in 2017!! If they ever get the majority done I’ll be pleased… sort of… even if I intend to finally let them lapse! However, we are yet to face the issue that they allowed several to … More Well now…
In theory I have 20+ domains under TPP. In fact they are in suspension of a sort because when TPP took over Under Global they made a complete dogs dinner of it. I was so annoyed I pretty much ignored the entire thing for three years until I decided I’d like to take web design … More Crazy times
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.
