I’ll wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year now, because I am returning to the Land that Broadband Forgot (Somerset), and so will be stuck with an expensive and unreliable dial-up connection till I return in about a week.

Miracles will never cease.

Wow. Moving your blog to a new domain is one sure fire way of completely removing your presence from the web. In one fell swoop, my Google page rank has dropped from a slightly-alive 3 to a very-very dead zero. Ditto my Technorati presence (9 to nil).
This is a general call to everyone out there [...]

Ok, how many people live in Antarctica? Seriously, I am curious, because my host-stats include a breakdown of traffic from the continent of Antarctica.
