I have added the Archive
page. Not because there is a lot to archive, but because as I add more 'entries' - oh dear,
this is starting to sound more like a blog than a homepage! - then the page size goes up,
not good for anyone. I had my French A2 Oral exam today, which is the excuse I shall use to
explain my abscence from posting for a few days. Do not fear that I have forgotten about the
site already!

I was thinking, as I browsed through Bash that what this site lacks....is appeal.
What would make people come here, aside from the usual: force; coercion; trickery; blackmail and bribery? Controversial sites are widespread and thus another one is unlikely to increase traffic significantly; rather it would slow traffic of the educated. Not being intrinsically humorous, this path is also cut off. That left me without ideas, so I shall resort to the usual (see above).
As a prospective gadfly, but in no way a troll. I realise the comparison with Socrates may be a little pompous, however I do not expect floods of complaints. i wonder why?

Little to add today, however I have launched the French Version of the site. Similarly it has very little on it at the moment, however I wish to see whether there is enough traffic going there to continue the bi-lingual trend. If you speak French, as your first or a subsequent tongue, check it out, and forgive my errors.
Unless there is a demand for any specific area of the site to be expanded first I anticipate the creation of the Philosophy Section.

I started this site in late November 2002, that's 42
months ago! This makes it older than Wikipedia! Is it
a coincidence that 42 is also the meaning of life? In that time my main page has recieved
over 1700 visits; that's an average of over 40 a month: more than one unique visitor per
day! Considering that the site has had little to no publicity, and that the content had
little to no intellectual - or other - value, I find this impressive; more so considering
the vast range of countries from which these visitors have arrived. I say little value, but
clearly my most popular page was the (in)famous Sheep Page, described by some as
'Sheepalicious'. Having not updated the site since April 2004, I felt a small obligation to
return it to a semblance of life: give it a face lift; add new things; cleanse its aura; buy
it some new clothes. I think I have done a pretty good job - check out the old layout to compare for
yourself.
With such a long break having been taken - Latin joke: if you don't
understand, get some education - why have I now decided to update, and hopefully continue to
do so? Firstly, I'd like to get some traffic going through here, and traffic needs something
to look at: advertisements; the hot woman in the car behind; the new-born lambs in the
field; the car crash. Secondly, since I am going off to university in September, to study
Maths and Philosophy, I wanted to get some of my philosophical ideas down on (virtual)
paper: i.e. to metaphorically put all the crap on my bedroom floor in cupboards.
Metaphorically ofcourse since there is no way I would actually do that, my crap can stay on
my floor thank you very much.
Anyway, I ought to be adding some more pages rather
than being so garrulous, I will thus
take the opportunity to apologise for anything I write in a foreign language that you do not
understand, I will try to remember to gloss things.
If you need to get in touch with
me to complain, please write - or type - your letter - or e-mail - and then throw it into
the recycling - we have to take care of the environment. Should any other issue arise that
compels you to contact me, let's say for example that you wished to praise: the site; my
opinions; my music taste; my good looks; my wit; or anything else, then please contact me at
My Hotmail Address.
