Um

So I googled my real name....nothing. So I googled Lithaborn and found this again, after forgetting about it for 7 years. Hi.

Resurrected

I'm back. Lots of things have changed. I know nobody is going to be reading this, but if, on the offchance, you have happened upon this blog, peruse the ancient history and maybe just put a little comment to say "Hi"

All done...

You shouldn't be here!

Update your RSS feeds to:

http://lithaborn.co.uk/?feed=atom

This blog, hosted on Blogger's servers, will no longer be updated. I'm now posting to the real blog on lithaborn.co.uk.

The change is going ahead right now

Normal service will be resumed just as soon as we're sure what is normal anyway.

Ok, so it's more than tempting...

I signed up for some of that webspace today. No-one's in the office until tomorrow, so it's then that I'll finalise things.

Not sure if you'll see a huge amount of difference, or if I'll try and get Movable Type working, or one of the blogging platforms that comes with the webspace, but this time you'll have lots of notice.

The URL will always point to a blog of some description, so if the RSS feed suddenly stops working, or doesn't show a new post for a few days, you know where I'll be.

This is almost too tempting...

I think I've mentioned before that I run the website for the Church I grew up in.

In the process of finding hosting for the site, I found a rather usefully titled site - Churchhosting.co.uk. Well, how could I resist?

Also, they invoice their customers, which I've found is quite a rare occurrence.

So anyway, everything was set up and working just fine, so I didn't bother with the site's Control Panel too much.

It's working, don't try and fix it. Fair play.

Well, tonight I decided to have a bit of a click around to see what some of the nifty buttons do.

I discovered a huge amount of site applications - like a forum, chatroom server, powerful picture gallery, guestbook, PHP tools...you name it!

What I'd forgotten is that this hosting company doesn't just cater for Churches, but also for individuals looking for a not-for-profit hosting package.

So in short, I could buy myself some webspace instead of piggybacking this here blog off the Church webspace, all for a pittance.

Problem is, we don't just have Easter fast approaching, we have a spate of family birthdays to budget for and right now that pittance would knock a noticable hole in our finances.

Fucking damn tempting, though...

Quick thoughts...

I'm in a reflective mood. Just been for a walk to liberate some money from a nearby cashpoint and got kinda thoughtful about various things. More on that later.

On my way to the bank, I happened to be listening to The Division Bell. At what point between Momentary Lapse of Reason and this album did Floyd become U2 lite? I had to check I'd uploaded the right directory. Not even close to what I was expecting. Odd.

Apparently Prime Minister Brown has committed an extra fuckwad of money to continuing our subjugation of other countries. I totally missed the Budget this year for the first time in ages. I did however catch the headlines about it being hailed as a "Budget for Education". So tell me, has he reformed the Student Grant rules? Has he scrapped all this Tuition Fee bollocks? I'll have to have a look and find out. I'm guessing the answer is "no".

If anyone out there knows how to get a Belkin wireless LAN card working on Windows Millenium, do drop me a line because it's pissing me off.

I'm tired, it's been a really nice spring day and tomorrow we're off to the Chinese for lunch with my mother-in-law, her sister and various others. Goody.

We got our new Cable box. Yay.

Another quiz...

This time it's rather an interesting one, though. Thanks to Sheerie, a fellow hedgewitch who dropped by to comment on the Star Trek post.

You scored as Celtic Pantheonic Pagan. Your answers leaned very close to that of the Celtic Pantheon. Very popular now among pagans, the Celtic Gods seem to draw those who are sensitive and insightful, but also very passionate about their beliefs. Many Pagan Holidays are named for this pantheon and here is where you'll find many stories on Horned God, Green Man, and Druids. You likely either have been or want to visit Stonehenge one day. Many Arthurian legnds include references to the Celtic faith, as well.
