Have you backed-up your Blog Today!?!

Have a look at the following Url: Harvard man provides musical solace for bereft bloggers | The Register (1) - looks as if a few bloggers lost some 'valuable' stuff! Also see 3,000 blogs lose their voice | CNet News

Now immediately the question that jumps to mind is - 'Have you saved any of your blogs? I know I haven't! Oops! Time for a wakeup call! Save those blogs - somewhere!!! NOW!!! Now you would have thought the ravings of a few thousand people would be on a backup somewhere? And let this be a lesson in life - never trust ANYBODY!



Anyway - ever thought of how all these blogs that are been generated (and lets be frank - 90% of them - like mine is just a lot of rot) - is been ignored by the search engines like Google Search Engine? Apparently a -noblogs search key was investigated at one time as the problem is that the blogs can obscure searches a lot. Of course blogs like mine is always factual and very informative. Yeah right :). I Google quite a lot myself in my line of work but the noise generated by all the blogs tends to make the process harder and harder. Maybe I will write a thesis about The information explosion on the WWW and how it is forcing it to collapse under its own weight. Remember - your read that here first - or maybe second ...

(1) I do not necessarily agree with the sentiments expressed by The Register in its article - I am just quoting the link.

Blogs an other things.

Forbes has a reference to some of the best blogs (their interpretations anyway :) ) on the following site:

For example Raed in Baghdad - gives one an insight in the realities of living in a war zone.

Tom Weller - my type of humour.

You can fool all of the people some of the time;
you can fool some of the people all of the time;
and that should be enough for most purposes.

From Tom Weller's Book Maxims

Picked up some references to Tom Weller on the Web - and as Douglas Adams is one of my favourite writers he has a simillar tongue in cheek type of humour. For example teh intoduction to his book SCIENCE MADE STUPID goes as follows:

Since the dawn of time, man has looked to the heavens and wondered: where did the stars come from? He has looked at the great diversity of plants and animals around him and wondered: where did life come from? He has looked at himself and wondered: where did I come from?

Later, he began to ask more complicated questions. He looked in his wallet and asked: where did my paycheck go? Am I on the right bus? Who do you like in the series?

To the former questions, at least, science has provided answers.

By the way - as you can see I am making some progress as too putting together a web page .... keep on watching this space.

June and its HOT!!

June has come - hot, humid, uncomfortable!

Funny things is - people live in buildings here during summer , just like in Europe in winter, but if you look out the window - the sun is shining, birds flying around (as slow as possible but still). Not a cloud in the sky over the Arab Peninsula and the UAE but all around there is clouds? Strange?

Talking about birds - ever seen that they cool down by sitting with their beaks wide open when its hot?

Anyway - during the past few days - not much else happened. Normal death and mayhem all over the world. I personally think that its time for all the people to start playing together nicely. Yeah right - but as John Lennon said in his song

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
