If you’re reading this in a feed aggregator, click on through to enjoy the beautiful new theme that I have spent hours slaving over.
OK it’s the same as the old theme, but don’t let that stop you from having a look. The new theme means that I am finally settling into my new digs, namely [...]
If you are reading this, I have converted successfully over to Mephisto.
There are still some outstanding issues to be resolved, such as: * The theme is the default Mephisto theme, I need to migrate my old theme over to Mephisto. As a result some formatting may look wierd. * Some older permalinks (specifically the /archives [...]
Just a warning to say that service may be interrupted here on girtby.net over the next few weeks. In fact, outages are likely.
Unfortunately the underlying reason is Typo. Hence I have no choice but to migrate away from it.
My hosting provider has recently contacted me to say that my blog is again using up far [...]
OK, I’ve had it with trackbacks.
It’s a good idea. You have a blog, I have a blog. I can post a comment your blog by posting on my blog and sending you a trackback. This is great because it means that I own the comment and can update/correct it in accordance with my own ethical [...]
Hello, I’m Alastair Rankine.

I described the original reason for anonymity was to [...]
So all the chaos with the Typo migration seems to have settled down. I’ve upgraded to the latest 4.0.2 release with all security patches applied. I’ve also fixed up some of the old RSS URLs, so hopefully the 10 Bloglines users who are currently seeing a red exclamation mark next to their girtby.net subscription will [...]
If you are subscribed to the comments feed I apologise for the recent influx of spam. I upgraded to the latest Typo last night and something has obviously gone wrong. Could be due to PEBKAC, admittedly. I’ll try to keep control of it manually until I find out what’s going on. Thanks to Aristotle for [...]
Welcome to the new Girtby.net, same as the old Girtby.net, but now 100% Web 2.0 compliant.
Yes, I’ve finally made good on my threat to migrate the blog to Typo, the blogging package built with Ruby On Rails. Typo 4.0 was released a few days ago and I’m happy to be an early adopter.
What problem am [...]
Being added to someone’s blogroll is usually quite a sincere form of flattery. But I just can’t help but wonder if there’s been a mistake of some sort here.
Ernie Chambers has me added to his blogroll of almost exclusively right-wing whackos like Instapundit, Powerline and Tim Blair. Surely Ernie can’t mean to put me in [...]
Wow. You don’t get more authoritative than Google. Number one hit, no less!
Thanks to Frances for the tip.
