I haven’t posted any stupid stories from Ananova for a while. Here’s a few for you:
I feel that I should be doing *something*, but I’m not quite sure what. The usual dilemma.
Read here to find out why I take great satisfaction and comfort from living in a beautiful, peaceful city where nothing is more than ten minutes *walk* from my front door.
Advice for today: don’t drink four Aftershocks on a Monday night. Not condusive to a Tuesday morning.
Beer (and Aftershock) tonight with Paul F, Mick, Phil, Paul S and sightings of Steve C and a few others.
I have spent the last hour or so sitting in Priory Park with a good paperback and a drink (only mineral water, since you were wondering), reading, people watching and enjoying the superb view of the guildhall, the tiled roofs of St Martins and North Streets and, beyond that, the striking verdigris roof of the cathedral with the spire towering above. Even a grey squirrel, salvaging discarded chips from a nearby bin, seemed to pause for at least five minutes, taking in the view bathed in the evening sun.
I love Chichester.
There has been much discussion in nerdy blogging circles recently about the need or otherwise of making your site look anyway half decent in old browsers. I’ve just taken a look at my viewer stats, and 10% of people visiting here are using cranky old Netscape Navigator 4.x. One person uses NN3 and another Explorer 2. This would suggest that a small chunk of my audience wouldn’t have much fun looking at this site if I made it very heavily CSS dependent.
The question is this: why do some people use such ancient browsers? Downloads are readily available for newer versions of these browsers, and surely they would make the whole internetwebthang experience more..um..fulfilling? Do you use an old browser? Why?
Can’t say I have any plans for a GrayboNakedCam. But if the masses demand it…..
and in poll news, I’ve stormed ahead of Brooke and Bella – which I find shocking, as I’d much rather see one or both of them naked than see myself in the mirror in the morning.
And some kind soul has used the Atomz search function thingy to tell me this: “I think you’re really pretty, why don’t you get a webcam please” – aw, bless! Anyone want to subsidise a cam?
Holiday news: and it isn’t good. I’ve decided to postpone my holiday for a while, for several reasons, the principal one being that I got my bank statement on Saturday and also checked my credit card balance. There are other factors too. But I think I might just hold off for a while – I have a little money shoved on one side, and if things go well, I might call on that towards the end of the year for some sort of spectacular break. It depends, if you get my drift.
