Internal Housekeeping

Between Blogger’s internal problems and a recurring Blogger/Geocities “broken pipe” problem, lately I’ve had about a 50 percent chance of being able to update my blog when I want to. This is not good.

Note: for some annoying Geocities-related reason, changes to my blog do not always register right away at this URL. So in addition to this one, you can also check http://www.geocities.com/tinmanblog for updates (no index.htm at the end).

This morning I received an e-mail from David Sim, a mid-30s gay Londoner with a blog called swishcottage. Thanks, David! It’s always great to hear from people across the Atlantic.

Which reminds me: I know that there are other people out there who read my blog — Sitemeter tells me so. Yet other than myself and Maurice (thanks Maurice), nobody has signed my guest book. So come on. Sign it. Or at least send me some e-mail. I really don’t bite.

One of the more distinctive domain names of people who read my blog is epa.gov. I’m interested in knowing who at the EPA is checking out my blog. Just for you, I’ll try to include more environmental treatises in the future. And whoever you are, take good care of my former governor, now that she’s heading your agency — Christie Whitman is one of the few Republicans whom I actually like. Even if she does look like Prince Charles.

While looking for a picture of Prince Charles, I came across this crotch shot of Prince William. Excuse me… I have to go faint now.

Anyway, that brings us full circle, back to the UK. Or almost full circle. I guess full circle would be if I made another reference to a broken pipe. A broken pipe is something I hope Prince William doesn’t have.
