1000 Profile Views!

I guess this is something of a milestone, like the thousandth post or something. Has taken me about three years, and the biggest batch of viewers has come over the most recent year. I seem to have shaken off the statcounter on this blog, so I actually don't have a clue at the moment about who is looking at what for how long. And you know what?

I don't care.

The fact that YOU are reading this is enough to make me want to keep going!

Unintentional Cookie Distribution

Sorry! Sitemeter have been using this blog, and millions of others, to distribute a cookie into viewer's machines - without permission implied or actual to do so. I believe they have now updated their user agreement, but only following a storm of protest. As far as I'm concerned the damage is done, and when I get around to it I'll be removing their stacounter from this site and (perhaps) replacing it with something which only does what it says and doesn't use you unwittingly for someone else's commercial benefit.

Anyway - if you're wondering what a 'cookie' is, it's a little 'program' that sits inside your computer and reports back to its host about what your computer does. They can be very handy things, but there's no benefit to you or me I believe with the one sitemeter have distributed. It is called specificclick. It won't kill either you or your computer, but if you want to know more about it and how to get rid of it, click here.

Oh - and don't forget The Negotiators are playing down at Club 168 at Port Adelaide this coming Friday (June 1) from 10 pm!

Site update

I have just moved this blog over to the new 'beta' blogger. Hopefully that will allow me to organise the site a bit easier for your convenience, as well as contain a few more features in the interface. So, expect things to change a bit in near future. For now, I'm just glad that nothing crashed.

I guess it will give me something to do while we await our return to the stage...
