30 December - First Webroaming Report

I figured there was no way I was going to remember my list without doing some revisisting of old haunts. One of my frustrations has been lost contacts online : which is why I have built cross-indexes to posts in varied locations. Good thing ! Why ?
Well, I had heard complaints and worries before about blogs 'disappearing'. Scholars and Rogues moved off the WordPress main site on that account. Dissident didn't and is nowhere to be seen.But I thought things needed reorganizing too. I'm not going to be able to keep this up on a regular basis I should expect : but I do want an index where people can start working through the cascade of information online intil they can find (hopefully) links that work for them.
But that's going to take some adventuring I don't recommend on office machines. Google Reader is what I'm working on - besides this - right now. A shared page of my obscure picks for content.
And while I'm feeling a tad parannoyed I figure going to a European host can't hurt.

Netscape - End of an Era

Mozilla is where my online experience started. I used their package browser/mail client for months before switching to Firefox/Thunderbird. Netscape was 'heavy' even compared with Mozilla Suite - then Seamonkey. You could say I've made a habit of not using Internet Explorer and playing with others. Which reminds me. After having a ton of fun with Flock the other day I check security to find more cookies than Panda Security was happy with, at all. They are gonzo.
And I've still got this utility from Brother's MFC-420CN on which I haven't found help for yet. Anyone know how to unistall drivers in XP?



'A View of the Media from the Sidelines' is the theme for this post. Maybe it even qualifies as an Op-Ed.

28 December - Topical Comments

I'm continuing a trend here of commenting in blogs I visit so that people who have shown a past interest in my news picks and shared resources have a chance to keep the ball rolling. Writers don't mind people picking up on important but underreported stories at all.

Aftermath of Bhutto's Death

This murder could be predicted to cause more upheaval than it's worth for Musharraf. Interesting that police guarding her 'vanished' shortly before the explosion.

Baitullah Mehsud denied killing her after saying he would. It's not as if the boys in South Waziristan wouldn't approve.
Al Qaeda, huh? You do realize that should be regarded as a 'heads up' that CIA 'black ops' may have had a finger in the pie.

Meantime Harper calls for things to proceed just as if a radical change hadn't been made in the situation by violence : and as if everyone won't now believe Musharraf responsible.

27 December - More Browsing

More grist for the mill. I don't have anything like my usual quota of links - having wasted a lot of time playing around trying to get things to work. Opera doesn't seem to be adding to my problems, thank goodness. Obviously I have learning to do, but I wasn't running the original preloaded header even on the first post.

27 December - Online Views and News

Oldephartteintraining is hors de combat at present : WordPress tech support on vacation ( the nerve ! ) Ha.
Since the Blogroll isn't available I've pointed out the backup bookmarks file : which has controls to show a tag cloud instead of most recent entries.
