Stuff watch: day two
It’s half past seven on this bright and shiny German Sunday evening and my flat remains completely and utterly devoid of stuff. Only the dust bunnies dare intrude upon this mournful desert of over-priced English newspapers, empty bottles and unread junk mail. Yet again I waited-in for the truck carrying my belongings and yet again I was disappointed.

A rather large bee buzzed in to say hello around eleven. A couple of hours later I dared the wrath of god by popping out to buy a bread roll. Around three I began composing witheringly sarcastic comments to cast before the tardy delivery men, if they ever deigned to show up. They deigned not. Too scared to deign, I suppose.

Boring technical stuff you should feel free to ignore
I’ve done a lot of thinking about this blog today. I know most of my old readers gave up months ago, but I’m keen to continue. I’ve decided to get myself a domain and go down the Moveable Type route.

I don’t know if I ever told you, but whenever I save my Blog’s template to the Blogger server it immediately becomes corrupt. It took the better part of three hours to get the truncated version you see before you to save in a workable form, and I’m loathe to tempt fate by trying to edit it again.

Someone once said: You get what you pay for. Well, it’s time for me to start paying and I hope that soon after this blog will start giving again. I really enjoyed those early months in the blogging community and I want to get back some of that excitement. Some time in the next week or so, I’ll be putting up a change of address notice. The address itself won’t change much, I’m just dropping the .blogspot, but I’m going to use the opportunity to commit myself to more regular and more interesting posts.

It’s time to turn a new page (geddit!) in this blog’s history.
