Quite Random

Oh the interconnectedness of it all

This is how I know it’s a day off – 2 blog entries in one day – it’s incredible what free time does for your mental energy when it hasn’t come after eight hours at work. The Internet being the very finest tool for procrastination there is, more entries could follow, meanwhile I haven’t even found enough boxes to put things in yet.

People who find websites can (usually) be assured that the way they found them is kept anonymous – a search engine tells me what people put into a search engine to find this and other sites I have, but not who. It’s a good job. Recent ways people have found my site include:

• menstruation pics (errr, euw?!)
• this is not just salmon
• i love you
• hat rin full moon party sex (if that was you try reading Yoga For People Who Can’t Be Bothered)
• big photos of many mongos (???)

Mmm. Meanwhile, I was surprised to see that this blog has been featured in an article on Suffolk bloggers on the BBC Suffolk website. The article describes this blog as follows:

Written by a Suffolk man, this is an excellent example of a quirky journal blog. The writing covers all sorts of things that have happened in day to day life, including exciting travelling stories.

If you found me through BBC Suffolk, hello. And sorry, this is almost certainly an anti-climax for you. The most exciting recent travel story I can recount is that the dog nearly got lost wandering around the garden, or that I fell asleep on the train back to Ipswich yesterday and snored so loud I woke myself back up again.

A scary thing happens when you write a blog entry – even though you might not proactively go out and tell someone you made a remark about them, or something you’ve seen on their site, blogs do it for you. Pings, links, referrers, these are all hopelessly dull techie terms for the fact that people know if you say something about them. It’s all a little bit disconcerting. Where are you supposed to go to say things behind people’s backs?
