Not all water under the bridge
The last time that I got involved in Nisadas was to upgrade to WordPress 2.3 or something like that. The next thing I know, my next spam-deletion visit was met with the news that 2.5 was out and my spanking new upgrade was obsolete! Ah well, so there I went and upgraded…
To be honest, it’s nice. Nice to use WordPress again and nice to be blogging again. Over the last few months, much has happened.
- September whizzed by and South Africa won the Rugby World Cup (as I predicted to my All Blacks’ fanboy colleagues, weeks before the tournament).
- Sri Lanka fought hard and got into the Cricket World Cup finals, only to lose out to Australia (and don’t even think of discussing the whole squash ball incident).
- I watched the finals of the aforesaid cricket match, whilst running intermittently to the balcony to watch tracer bullets fire at the possible locations of LTTE light aircraft.
- I never got around to buying the new computer, although the people from ABC Computers thanked me for pointing out that their website was a bit out of date.
- I married an amazing young lady. Life has taken a distinct turn for the better!
- I got promoted.
- After much deliberation, I bought a car.
- I got over my suspicions of social networking and finally joined Facebook.
- The guys at Vesess totally amazed me with their new look and have now gone totally Free.
- A number of blogs that I enjoyed reading have vanished – notably Mahangu’s which is now used by someone else (unless that is, Mahangu.org is written by MW in an intentionally different style).
- The local website for HSBC was revamped and now allows access from a variety of browsers. Haven’t checked whether it works with linux, but there’s no reason it shouldn’t.
- I realised that 34 posts over a period of almost three years (since Nisadas went live) is pretty lame for a blog.
- I also realised that apart from fetish-crazed spambots, no one (well, except for one special person) really vists Nisadas anymore.
So that’s it. Things have happened – not limited to the list above – over the last few months. If you will join me again, you may find out more…
