Hence no updates. But I think I may have found some renewed motivation.<\/p>\n
The first part of this came thanks to browsing through the utterly unpolitical website of themanwhofellasleep<\/a>, a telented chap whom I met via b3ta<\/a>, and with whom I may shortly be working on a book project. He’s kept his site going for years – I’ve known of it for at least three, probably more – and has built up a decent cult following.<\/p>\n The second is thanks to another bloke met via b3ta<\/a>, the lovely Tim Ireland, often better known as Manic<\/a>, who is the highly dedicated man behind Bloggerheads<\/a>. He took the piss out of me, I called him rude names, then I started actually reading his site properly, having been aware of it for ages. It is irritatingly good.<\/p>\n Third, I checked out the often interesting and superbly named A Fistful of Euros<\/a>, and found this blog linked there. Under the “left wing” category. Which confused me briefly, but then I suppose I do link to The Guardian<\/a> rather a lot… Either way, the fact someone had noticed this and thought it worth linking to made me think it might be worth pursuing.<\/p>\n Finally, I checked the blog of a real-life friend of mine<\/a>, which was started about the same time as I first experimented with blogging a couple of years ago. Disgustingly, he’s kept it going all this time, while I have let umpteen blogs vanish into the ether (there are about three I can’t even remember the addresses of).<\/p>\n As I’ve been moderately successful in keeping my jokey, nonsensical b3ta blog<\/a> going for the last few months (it takes far less time to keep going than this one due to far less thinking), I reckon it’s time to start this one up properly again.<\/p>\n Anyway, I’ve given it a redesign (in lovely EU colours, no less), and added comments and post linking, just in case anyone’s interested. I would put in a links section down the side, but I can’t for the life of me work out how. If anyone does actually read this, let me know either via comments or email (nosemonkey (AT SYMBOL) gmail.com) – I’d appreciate it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hence no updates.
