Archivus – Lord of things past : Tshirtium – Lord of the possible present
Okay now the second half of that opening statement was a awful, awful pun but I refuse to be apologetic. So in a short post aimed at eliciting a response I am posing a couple of questions at my fellow bloggers assembled. Question One: Should we have an archive of articles? I like the Ironman [...]
Flash Bang what a Picture
In the beginning… An apology (apple-ogies), for my wanton use of a simple post to keep my Ironman-ish status. This week I have mostly been on holiday in the wilds of Scotland – to whit I have been camping in the Inner Hebrides around Mull and Iona and on the mainland near Glen Nevis so [...]

The Enlightened Perl Organisation became involved with this when we [...]
Frist Prost
So first posts are always problematic. How to grab your audience in the immediate without being controversial presents issues. Like all who blog the instant inclination is to illuminate in some manner, then maybe excite, energise, educate and enrich before collapsing from alliterative asphyxia. But this isn’t my first post ever…
