Blogging

Minor changes

“Minor” because no new domain, ;) no new theme, but just a few little things I changed here:

  • The header navigation in the blue bar has been extended and enhanced with drop-down menus * – especially I added a link to my little Queen fan site (ag1.de/queen; already a few days ago) and a link to a few older, small Windows utilities (ag1.de/utils). Mainly because my former little portal page ag1.de redirects here directly now.
    (Though I’m vaguely thinking about moving the blog there, but, well, we’ll see…)
  • The feed now also contains the music quotes which I add to the end of (almost) every post.
  • WP-PostRatings, for rating the posts with little stars, was removed due to lack of use – of course they were rather inconspicuous, but on the other hand, I didn’t want a big, maybe distracting “Please rate this post” to point at it. ;)

* These apparently don’t work in IE6, but who cares, the top links still work.

No, I won’t write about the release of WordPress 2.5 now

Enough others have done that, you know. ;)

To make this post less than 100% useless, let me briefly answer two search queries leading people here today at 17:43 and 18:46:

10 21 23 29 31 37 (49) – today in Germany, that is. Unless you consider money bad luck…

Don’t match. If your nerves are strong enough, you can convince yourself here on the Wotschblog (ex-Just4Fun, German text)…

Projekt 52 week 8: What frightens me?

The topic of week 8 in Sari’s photo Projekt 52:

What frightens me?

At first I was afraid I’d never have an idea what to present photographically on this topic… but wait, afraid to have no idea? Bingo! So I quickly grabbed my camera:

08: What frightens me?

Week 8: What frightens me?

Maybe the fear of every blogger (and other kind of writer): No idea what to write about, represented by an almost empty WordPress window. The slight distorion caused by the low camera distance even somehow fits thematically…


Alright, it’s a very simple solution, but whatever. :mrgreen:

333

333? Yes, this is the 333rd post on this blog. And just as I was starting to prepare it, “The Number Of The Beast” by Iron Maiden was playing on the radio – referring to 666, of course, often attributed to the “devil” or the “antichrist” (not that I’d believe in stuff like that, of course); hence the image at the side. Quite a coincidence… :D

More about this nonsense number mysticism can be found in Wikipedia, of course.

“3-3-3”? Wasn’t there something in history class at school? Well, at least in German, there’s a mnemonic going “3-3-3, bei Issos Keilerei” (“3-3-3, at … … barney”), where the two-syllable location of that battle doesn’t follow directly from the rhyme, and I wasn’t able to remember that back then… it was at Issus, one of Alexander the Great’s most important battles.

Well, I’ll have three schnappses now – y’know, numbers with all identical digits are called “Schnapszahlen” (schnapps numbers) in German…
