More f***d & t**k junk
As predicted, today's postal delivery saw the arrival of another copy of the same f***d & t**k catalogue/flyer combi, again clearly addressed to me, this time with my other allegedly-deleted customer-number in the address panel.
So, just out of curiosity, I tried to log in to my allegedly-deleted account, and, yes, you guessed it...
Back online
Emails up and running again.
Admin access to blog restored.
Critical progs and data transferred.
Gravatars: few takers
Well, by the looks if it, out of all the readers of this blog, only two have grabbed themselves free gravatars.
"Bad form", says I.
Who would be a paper-boy these days?
The dull rumble of the trolley on the pavement...
The sound of footsteps on the garden path...
The familiar squeak as the letterbox opens...
The sharp clang as it springs back to the closed position...
The heavy thud as the local weekly free-paper hits the floor.
Thud? Free-paper? Surely not.
Yep, this one:
But it only weighs in at 75g.
The reason for the thud?
All of this crap that's stuffed inside it:
Small wonder the folks that deliver this lot to each house have shoulders like tallboys and knuckles that drag on the ground. This lot weighs in at 922g, that's 2lb 1/4oz in old money.
Predictably, all of the associated crap went directly into the recycling bin.
What a waste of effort.
Oh, and the main feature on the front page of the free-paper? It's all about the local council's recycling scheme.
😕
Show yourself
Yup, another site update... will it ever end?
Gravatars. Globally recognized avatars. Little pics, associated with your email address, that show by your name when you make a comment on a blog. I set up mine FOC via the Gravatar website. Of course, they would be no use on this blog if it wasn't gravatar-enabled, so I've installed the WP Gravatar plugin from the same site and it's all sorted.
Just a couple of points here... firstly, you don't need a blog or site to have a gravatar, so you've no excuse for not getting one... secondly, gravatars aren't only for WP blogs, they can be used at many other places, so why not enable your site now?
Seasonal variations
I know that Duncan got an early sighting of essential wares for the festive season, but did I miss something? Has Christmas been re-scheduled this year?
