1. Describing your state of mind. I really don't care whether you are happy, sad, somewhere in between or suicidal because your girlfriend dumped you.

2. Describing your state of health. I really don't want to read about your flu like symptoms, your hangover, your runny nose or your migraine headache. Otherwise you will give me one.

3. Telling me what music you are listening to. You like your music. I like my music. We may share some common interests but it really doesn't matter.

4. Playing me your music. It is more likely that we won't share musical tastes so please don't force your music onto me. Particularly, if it is your own work with your mates.

5. Crazy, colourful Flash animations. I may have a headache too. This may make it worse.

6. Dull, boring tedious lists of (del.icio.us) links. At least, annotate them with why they are interesting to you.

7. Pleading and begging for 'Comments' by asking a question at the end of the article. For example, 'So what you all think about Google Operating System ?' or 'So what 4 blogging tools would you pack up and take to a desert island ?'.

Apologies to all you Oracle Bloggers.

Excessive traffic levels to my new Web journal on Blogger appears to have breached the 'tipping point' and tipped it right over the edge.

Blogger is unavailable (again). Two nights running. Hmm.

...and it really hurt.

I continue to be intrigued by this article (I have now read it 67 times and still can't make any sense of it whatsoever). I simply love the title so I thought I would blatantly plagiarise it. I also adore the Anonymous comments of 'Not bad' and 'Nice job'. Damned with faint praise.

Anyway, my shiny new blog in question is over here. Before you gleefully note that I have finally seen the light and have reverted to Blogger, this is simply an experiment to look at the Google Analytics dashboard and various detailed traffic reports. [GA requires Javascript which precludes its use on WordPress.com]. Inevitably, after a separation of six months, Blogger was sulking and unavailable last night.

Q: What is the significance of the name 'Factory51' ? Answers on a postcard to /dev/null.

There's nowt as queer as folk. I could maintain a blog purely on search terms leading to this dark recess of the blogsphere.

For example: 'Urinals With a View at Stockholm Airport'

Worryingly, Stockholm is precisely where I am heading next week. Thankfully this time, I will be leaving the confines of the airport complex. I think I will abstain from all fluid intake prior to the flight, cross my legs and wait until I get to the hotel.

Not to mention this rather odd blog entry which the author claims I have inspired in some way.

Recently, I give rise to a Andy C going on for fighting jetplane in directive to added increase my own know-how and to disclose some of my acquired experience to others. Women are just as capable of remarkable scientific realization as men, and I am determined to help refute gender stereotypes through my example...

My humble blog got a mention on the Google front page. Well, my History of Oracle entry appeared in the Blogs section of the Oracle page on Google Finance.

Next stop - Top WordPress.com blogs.

A modern, standards compliant RSS feed. Whatever next. Let's hope people take this opportunity to switch to a full feed.

Odd to compare Google's relative inactivity with all the features, languages, statistics, themes and functionality added to WordPress in the last six months.

Oh no. WordPress are now promising to add import/export functionality which is the only barrier stopping me from migrating to my own hosted WordPress.org blog.

That would open up a whole new world of plug-ins, themes, statistics...

WordPress has a total of 37 themes. I have recently fallen out with my long standing favourite and top scorer, Regulus 2.1.3, after he blatantly deceived me over the state of his CSS injury.

Consequently, I will be implementing a rotation policy (with immediate effect) to give each squad member a fair and equitable chance to stake his claim (hand in glove).

Then I will conduct a poll of all my loyal readers (both of them) to determine the winner.

Then I will reinstate Regulus 2.1.3.

You are currently admiring Solipsus 1.5 (aka Cartoon Network ).

Against my better judgement (see solitary comment), I uploaded my static list of feeds and RSS subscriptions to Share Your OPML.

'Subscriptions like Mine' tells me that my love match (with an impressive strength rating of 36.371) is none other than, Number 1, Eddie Awad.

The wedding is on Saturday July 22. Please, no presents. All donations to charity.

Obviously all loyal readers of this humble blog (from August 2005 with proof) are all invited. The remainder (Johnny Come Lately's) are on the reserve list (i.e evening reception only).
