Weird or What?

Now this is a strange one: looks like someone has started up a blog pretending to be me! And sadly, it isn’t very flattering.

Now who would do such a thing? I guess the best thing I can do is ignore it – it is clearly someone with a lot of issues. They seem to think I am ‘John Self’ – who is a member of Palimpsest. Needless to say, that isn’t me at all! I could only wish to read as many books as John does!

Anyway, whoever you are, rather than continue to blunder around with your misunderstandings, why not get in touch with me here? My comments are always open and my email address is clearly published. I would like to think that if someone had an issue with me, they would come out and discuss it with me sensibly. It’s a shame.

Of course, it wouldn’t be such an issue if it was actually funny.

From recent trips to Llangollen, to see and ride on the steam train:

If you look at the titles I give photos on Flickr, you might notice that just recently I have been using utterly irrelevant book titles!

Comment Spam

Am being hammered on comment spam at the moment. There seem to be 10 or more every hour.

Fortunatley WordPress is pretty good at holding them up so they don’t get posted on the site. Some of them are pretty amusing, or just totally weird. How about this:

Wikipedia on FireFox

With the Google Toolbar for Firefox installed, I never use the little search box built into the browser on the right of the address bar.

But since I had a play around, I found that by visiting here, I could search Wikipedia straight from Firefox. I didn’t realise how useful this was until this morning when I have used it about a dozen times.
