Hi Gangue, Guys 'n Gals
Sunday Salsa time again. No caravanning this weekend, I'm actually
sitting here on Standby and Callout for work, so we were'nt able to get
away anywhere. So far no call-out yet, so things have been quiet over
the weekend. For those who don't know, I work for ScottishPower, the
national electricity supplier for Central Scotland and beyond.
Foot and Mouth continues to drag on, another case this morning in an
area so far untouched, although it was seeming to slow down recently.
Mr Blair announced some new Cabinet changes for his new Government after
Thursday's election. Mr Hague (opposition leader) resigned to give
someone else a chance, as he put it! The shocking thing is that only
about 58% of the population bothered to vote, so Mr Blair has succeeded
with less than 1 vote in 4 being cast for his manifesto! That could be
taken to mean that 3/4 voters didn't want him? Statistics really can
prove anything you want them to prove.
Is Arachne on a mission to death? Bernie tells me that around 35 people
each week visit the CZ homesite by way of my arachne4dos site here in
the UK, so that's about a third of my callers are interested enough to
visit further. If a third of them download 'rach from the CZ site, then
that's around ten each week. IF a third of those keep and use it, then we
are adding about 160 new users a year from my old scruffy (needs
updated) site! SO it's not a deluge, and it won't keep Michael in peanut
butter sandwiches, but it does show that there is a demand or interest
in a DOS based browser, small though it may be.
Arachne is NEVER but *NEVER* going to compete with Nutcrap or Exploder
or even Hopera, but it is providing an alternative for a lot of people
one way or the other.
Uncle Bill Gates meantime continues on a mega$ trail with his latest
offering. Now he not only sells you car with three round wheels and one
that's nearly round, but he's going to charge you in advance for you to
bring the car in to have the (more) nearly round wheel replaced with
a slightly better one. Hmmmmmm! how many cars (autos) would he sell if
this was his product, and not software?
Enough meanders for this week! "Tis better to have loved and lost, than
to never have loved at all!" So give your neighbour a hug, yeah the six
foot hairy biker with the stainless steel chain round his neck. And the
Gals can too VBG *8>)
Take care all, I love y'all
Regards
