The Searchers

Posted by andyslack on 5 September 2009

WordPress hasĀ a useful feature that lets me see how many people visit which page of the site, and what they are searching for when they do so.

Most of it is games-related, as you might expect; and it looks like a lot of people would be interested in rules for solo games of Warhammer 40,000; but I am curious what I have in the site that attracts people looking for (and I quote) “porno wedding episodes”.

I’ll probably get even more of them now I’ve typed that. Sorry guys, nothing to see here, drive on…

Remembrance

Posted by andyslack on 12 November 2008

There was no post yesterday. There are many days when I don’t post, but this one was deliberate rather than idleness or lack of access to the internet. Compared to the sacrifices made by our honoured dead, my ramblings and concerns seemed too petty to consider.

My comfortable life, and my right to write drivel on a blog, were paid for in the blood of others, and the payments will continue for the foreseeable future. It’s not much to remember that for a couple of minutes each year.

So consider yesterday a 24 hours’ silence in this babble. And if you disagree with me, that is your right of free speech – another right bought in blood.

New blog!

Posted by andyslack on 11 October 2008

After a long break from such things, I’ve restarted my blog, and here it is. As before, it’s intended as a non-intrusive way for colleagues, family and friends to keep up with what I’m doing – read it as and when you’re interested, without me clogging up your inboxes.

I’ve moved to WordPress because it’s easy to use, forgiving of mistakes in input, and allowed me to merge the blog and my website into one entity. Later I’ll try adding some photographs too.
