Arg. Aarg. Me … me mateys.
Aarg.
It's Talk Like A Pirate Day today … me … mateys (and it helps if you think of this as being spoken by Bob Newhart, who did a fantastic sendup of pirates in his show Newhart).
Avast, ye … ye … ye swabbies (what is “avasting” anyway?).
Update later this night
Bunny wrote in saying that “avast” is a nautical term meaning “to stop.” How that term came about I don't know (nor did Bunny mention in her email).
The Saltmine Chronicles
When I last wrote about The Company Blog, I was still working on the prototype.
Well, no more.
The Saltmine Chronicles, the Company Blog, has gone live. So if you're interested in knowing which company I work (and sometimes grouse about) now you can finally confirm your suspicions and know which company I work for.
Oh, I'll still call it The Company here, and I still work for Smirk with P as a fellow cow-orker, but if you're curious …
My plan is to write entries there on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the entries there will be more about how webhosting works, how the Internet works—basically, the behind the scenes of how a webhosting company works (is that enough linkage for you, Smirk? That should boost the Google Page Rank of the sites a bit).
And yes, don't expect to see any grousing over there about the stuff I do. That's what this site is for.
