Which is all a bit too much like work for me (blogs are like breadmakers&#8230; like the idea of having one, but never actually use it).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway.  <a title=\"i don't really hate him\" href=\"http:\/\/tomroper.typepad.com\/tr\/2006\/12\/three_years_bef.html\">He posted some stats and bits about his blog over the last couple of years<\/a> and I thought of commenting and pointing towards the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloglines.com\/userdir?siteid=198646\">bloglines &#8216;number of subscribers&#8217; feature<\/a> as another little gem. In the comment, my brain thought, I would also point out that my blog only has one subscriber as a comparison (and hence &#8216;accidentaly&#8217; end up linking to my blog from his comments&#8230;fame would then by mine). Oh, and that 1 subscriber is me. But here&#8217;s the but. But when checking this it turns out I actually have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloglines.com\/userdir?siteid=3998599\">3 subscribers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>PEOPLE: this blog is crap. I don&#8217;t update it for years and when I do it&#8217;s just a link to a bit of flash and how to do some bloody simple SQL. Look, there are millions of blogs out there and all of them will be better than this. You can do better. Have confidence in your self. Be a man. (or a women&#8230;  urm,  you&#8217;re choice really&#8230; or rather it&#8217;s not, but it can be sort of&#8230; I&#8217;ll stop now).<\/p>\n<p>Anyway if there are 3 (well 2 and me) people subscribed to this via bloglines, there must be others as well. So hello, sorry about the google ads i&#8217;ve just stuck here. I had them on a couple of webpages for a year or so and have made $8! (yes fame <em>and<\/em> riches!) so why I&#8217;m bothering I don&#8217;t know. Feel free to comment. And if i mark your comment as spam when I mark all the rest as spam, I&#8217;m sorry but do try again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tom Roper knows everything, reads clever stuff, seems to have an impressive range of music taste and gets technology.
