If it ain't broke...

…you know the rest

Those of you who still read this thing will have noticed that everything broke for a while, followed by everything being gone. Those are technical terms.

‘Twas my fault: I tried to upgrade to a newer version of my blogging software, and things turned out more complicated than I foresaw. Not an uncommon occurrence, so I guess I should have seen it coming. But hindsight is a wonderful thing when you’re on the side looking hindward.

In other news, I’ve finished my AS levels, hit the arbitrary age of adulthood (and annoying alliteration and/or assonance) and bought five novelty ties, including one with a load of TIE fighters on the front. I got a giggle out of that.

I also got a hydrogen fuel cell car (not a “hydrogen cell fuel car”, David :P), a new MP3 player in the form of a Cowon S9, and I’ve pre-ordered a Palm Pre (alliteration’s just coming thick and fast today. In fact, the other day I wrote a haiku in a text message, on the spot. I was quite proud of that. Anyway, enough parenthetical remarks, however poetic they may be.) Hydrogen fuel cell car

So, in the absence of an obvious way of restoring all my previous posts, it looks like a fresh start for my blog. Jolly hockey sticks.

EDIT: Actually, scratch that, looks like I managed to get the previous posts back on. Life resumes as normal :P

    Bloody typical! Not even a simple slip of the tongue can escape your frigging blog! To quote your father - “oh…. buggeration!”.

    Regarding your new blog, what happened to the ‘funky blue background colour’? (I used inverted comma’s in anticipation of being quoted on a future post).

    Anyway, good to see you’re posting again… long overdue I might add!

    Talk soon,

    David

    If it ain’t broke…don’t break it?

    I like this new layout - it’s easier to navigate and looks…cleaner somehow.

    Congrats on finishing the exams. Not at all jealous that you’re now swanning around the place and I’ve got to slog on until Wednesday. Nope, not jealous at all.

    Enjoy it! xxx
