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.

Recently I Gave Birth To A Blog
...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.
don't talk to strangers
Theres 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...
Fame at last
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.
Blogger does something shock
stop it, stop it, stop it
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...

rotation policy
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 ).
blind date
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).
cartoon network
Maybe Doug's right. Perhaps WordPress isn't a suitable blogging platform for serious technical Web journals (with 473 lines of 10046 trace) after all.
The latest theme (Solipsus 1.5) announced for WordPress is described thus:
Black & Brown design, inspired by Adult Swim of Cartoon Network.
That's all folks !
