Illness, snow, blog

[ciphergoth]

Am off work with a cold. lovelybug also has this cold. Doubtless bathtubgin will soon be infected. I have spent the whole day in my pyjamas, dressing gown and monster slippers, looking at the snow through the window and lying on the floor playing SSX Tricky, which I am now far too good at.

booklectic persuaded me that I should start a proper blog, but the technical work is easier than the actual writing work! It finally has exactly one proper entry: a discussion of Jerry Coyne's book review on theistic evolution and convergent evolution. Hopefully it won't sit there lonely for too long.

Admittedly, I am loving this image. ;-)

Hope you both/all feel better soon.
That is, as has been said, an adorable mental image, though.

Nice opener. I look forward to more.

I've gone the other way and tried to make my LJ into a proper blog: thanks to various Python scripts, I have comment feeds and I send out pingbacks/trackbacks to other blogs I link to (though I don't get them when people link to me, as LJ is advertising a pingback URL but doesn't appear to do anything with pings).

Admittedly, it might be easier just to set up a "proper" blog that'd do all this stuff for me, but I'd be a little worried that my existing commenters wouldn't follow me there, and I would see fewer interesting discussions as a result (as seems to happen when people flounce to Dreamwidth, for example).

Yay

I suspect you will want some kind of are-you-human checker for comments soon enough.
