Oh, for some clarity


Hell's bells, I've got the fuzziest of minds today, an inability to grasp anything much at all, which ain't a whole bunch of use when dealing with the trifling intricacies of websites & domain names & nameservers & other boring things. Nothing too odd about that, you'd think, but normally I thrive on such technicalities & struggle instead to express things in words; yet the past days have seen me mentally glaze over when faced with anything I don't already know the answer to... ho-hum, these clouds'll part, no doubt, although I do find it very unsettling & aggravating, to put it mildly.

Anyhoo, for those of you foolish enough to come here more than once, there'll eventually be a websitey blog thing at howmarvellous.com instead of/as well as/I dunno yet here on blogspot, which is of little import right now save that should I suddenly get another rash of dmca takedowns & find myself kicked off this place (unlikely I know, but hey).... you'll know where to look for further sparkling wit & incisive social commentary eh? - hmm, right. Cheques, cash, chocolates & lavish promo invites may continue to be sent to the usual address, & will receive my full attention, as always.

Whilst we're on a mildly personal, rather than "This band good - buy records" (in a Tarzan voice) trip, I have to boast of having some of my own music, from many years ago, mentioned on siblingshot on the bleachers yesterday, which is nice... I do enjoy ib's considered, concise, writing; his blog has the air of a not too hushed, regularly changing museum exhibition for me, hard to explain properly, but you'll come away with much more than mp3s I reckon.

Righto - couple of tunes, then on with the housework...

  2. thanks Tart - wish there was an easy blogger widgets/template - wordpress converter; I know one can self-host via blogger, but I'm kinda suspicious of them.

  3. Hope the fuzziness and clouds part for you Brother! I truly know how that feels. Most of my days are that way.

    As to the new domain, I say awesome. Personally, I self-host via blogger and have never had any problems. Would, though like to go over to Wordpress anyways. Seems more powerful tool than Blogger. But, hey it works ok right now so someday will tackle that.....

  4. Thanks merz - will lilely go that way for now once I've worked out that just the blog pages get directed to blogger so ftp & admin will behave ok - but hey, it works for you, obviously.
