Wonderous photo of the moon crescent about to eclipse Venus, seen as the small crescent next to the moon.

I should explain - I think cats are dangerously cute. Do not be surprised when I post cute cat things on there.

Awwww!

This caught my attention:

Two Irishmen have set up a business selling dirt to nostalgic Irish Americans who want a handful of “the mother country” on their graves.

“The demand has been absolutely phenomenal,” Burke, an agricultural scientist from County Tipperary, said on Friday.

Who else do we know that need to be burried in a coffin containing the soil of their homeland country.

I guess that their next business will be to sell sand to the Arabs.

Welcome to my first Blog.

Despite building websites for years (decades it feels like) and chatting like mad on forum websites, I have never actually bothered setting up a blog.

Initially, it seemed unnecessary as I could express my views, interests and thoughts on the forums - but recently, I have been withdrawing from one in particular - and today actually closed my account there.

I’ll detail that in a future posting, as I need to “calm down” a bit about the stupid changes they have made and that are driving people away in a flood.

About the Blog

What can you expect here?

Well, I am a rather eclectic person - so it’ll be a mix of observations, ideas, thoughts and random tech commentaries.

Probably updated every few days - no promises just yet - let me get the feel for things first!

Your comments

Always welcomed, and the comments section will be enabled so you can talk (shout) back at me.

Signing off…
That’s all for now - I need to run off and start playing with templates, databases and the like.
