Well, here we are.
Heralding a new era of blogging, now with great facility and indeed commenting. Feels a bit strange to be using Blogger rather than banging this text into Blog on my old site (http://www.aoxe45.dsl.pipex.com/ for the sake of completeness) but then if we don't change we don't grow and all that.
It's still raining here, and that rain is still seeping into my living room not to mention oozing in through my inadequate front door. I still haven't done much about the state of my disgraceful old house, preferring to endlessly piss about with electrical stuff. I have discovered that of my seven sims - and I refer to mobile phone cards rather than to some cult Japanese film - four are dead. One, in fact, is virtually unidentifiable. How we leave a trail as we consume our way through the communicative world, changing mobiles and blogs and email addresses and leaving only faint records somewhere for people to puzzle over in future. Cyber-archaeology. There's a lame pursuit waiting for its devotees. What a lot of personal information we leave strewn about for our successors. I realize now why some people I know and meet like to keep things simple. I really must give some old phones to charity, not to mention a fair few Mrs Mills records and a bushel of old watches and speakers and so forth. Mrs Mills. The woman had talent, and it swings, but it fals really to rock and that's a problem in the context of what I'd be using it for.
Still stumbling through creating our band demo for the Talc Demons, and we still struggle to get gigs. There are a few on the books though, so it looks relatively rosy coming up to Christmas. It's ridiculously warm, so I imagine the end of the world is nigh. The latest Squarepusher album is mostly a bit dull, but on the plus side I am less ill than I was a week ago. I wonder what my blood tests will reveal?
Anyway, I need to at least make a vague gesture to getting the recycling off to its home and clearing up the leaves in the garden. So I'll be back soon with a real post, and I'll see about a more inspiring template for this blog as well.
At least it's blue.

Comments and RSS feed! Excellent work!
Blogger comments are a bit painful to use though, word varification stumps robots... and me, mostly.
I agree that the verification is a bit of a pain, but then so is comment spam. We'll see what happens, as I am by no means certain to keep the blog on Blogger. I just happened to have a bit of prior experience with it, and I've not yet had a really thorough look around. Ideally I'll get some hosting sorted out and learn a content management system, but it's not a priority right now.
Welcome, of course!
