A fresh face

So, I’ve gone and combined the blog and the website. Sort of. I’ll probably tinker with it forever now, expect changes, but slow changes, but it’s basically done.

Hoorah!

Please come here in future for your one-stop-Neilly-shop.

Upcoming

I’ve got bored of having a website and a blog, so I’m looking into combining the two. Expect changes in the near future.

Nooks and Crannies

In the spirit of Expanding the Web Presence I’ve set myself up with a myspace. I doubt whether much will happen there that doesn’t happen here, or on the site, or on the message boards, but you never know.I’ve been using myspace for yonks* with the band, and found it a brilliant networking tool. And since I see a lot more writers having the same idea, I figured now is probably the time to jump in. So if you’re all tooled up with the myspacing gear, fire on over and friend me up.

*Technical Note: the “yonk” is a non SI unit of time which is derived from Einstein’s non-specific Theory of Stuff That Happens When You’re Not Really Paying Attention.

Told You It Wouldn’t Be Regular

So, I decided I was going to start blogging in January, created the template and a sort-of-trial-run-first-post in February, and now…it’s July. At least it’s still the same year.

A manifesto for an unremarkable blog:

This blog will cast thoughts onto the datasphere like bread for ducks. A few crumbs might get nibbled up, but most of it will go soggy and sink.
This blog may voice opinions, but will not engage in blogospheric debates. They’re exhausting.
This blog will not contain controversy. Probably.
This blog may not be interesting to anyone but me.
This blog will talk mostly about music and writing and football, among other subjects.
This blog will link to some of my friends.
This blog will be irregular and erratic and organic.
This blog is not an advert for my writing.
This blog is not the key to me.

On with the nonsense.
