Mouse

Finally got a desk for the laptop to go on last weekend, which meant that I could get a mouse at long last too – after all, there isn’t much point in having on if the thing is on your knees all the time.

It has made using the PC a far, far more enjoyable experience. Touchpads are alright, but they do get pretty tiresome after a while… Eight quid well spent!

One blog created ‘every second’

From the BBC:

The blogosphere is continuing to grow, with a weblog created every second, according to blog trackers Technorati.
In its latest State of the Blogosphere report, it said the number of blogs it was tracking now stood at more than 14.2m blogs, up from 7.8m in March.

It suggests, on average, the number of blogs is doubling every five months.

Blogs, the homepages of the 21st Century, are free and easy to set up and use. They are popular with people who want to share thoughts online.

They allow for the instant publication of ideas and for interactive conversations, through comments, with friends or strangers.

Great quote from William Golding just popped up on ‘Quote of the Day’ on my customised Google homepage:

Life isn’t fair. It’s just fairer than death, that’s all.
