ID’s blog

So why am I here? I left behind a blog some time ago as I'm just not a natural blogger. I was drawn to register by an excellent post to which I had been alerted by the service called, appropriately, Google alerts. This service sends (up to) daily e-mails based on keyword searches. I could easily dispense with this using a custom feeds mashup via the Yahoo Pipes app, yet there's something about unread mail that seems to command more attention than feeds. Still, we'll see...

I expect I'll only make the occasional post, though I shall regularly add fractal art to brighten the page. I wanted a white background, but I also wanted a custom banner, so black it is.

Couldn't resist joining the Grammar Nazis group: I like to maintain high standards of language and frequently pretend to apoplexy on encountering an errant apostrophe, but it's really only tongue-in-cheek.
