Now we are six

But now I am Six,
I’m as clever as clever,
So I think I’ll be six now for ever and ever.

Now we are six
A A Milne

It is time to sing happy birthday again. In 2004 I began to blog. Originally on blogger and then onto my own self-hosted wordpress install. I haven’t been too regular over the years and I still haven’t found the blogging equivalent of prune juice.

Still to break tradition I thought I’d give you a present. Below is a video of a song I really like and one that sums up a lot of what is current in popular culture today. Everything is a copy, of a copy, of a copy to quote one of my favourite books.

The song is a cover version.
The video is a mash-up of a french classic movie and the song.
And if you reblog on tumblr, then this could become a reblog, of a reblog, of a reblog.

Happy 5th Blogday

Well five years ago this blog began. Back then it was hosted on blogger, and I still do a bit of chatting over there to this day. But for five years this has been my primary place of residence. It has gone through several iterations but then that is life.

I haven’t posted as regularly as I would have liked, but then I do post quite a lot elsewhere. Looking at the posting stats it seems I have posted about once a week. Considering all that goes on in my little domain I think that’s probably quite a good rate.

I still have a lot of plans for this blog and perhaps at some point I will get around to putting then into place. Currently though, this little piece of personal blogging real estate isn’t at the top of the to do pile. I suppose this is a note to the blog itself, saying I haven’t forgotten you, I still come here regularly and I am overjoyed that we have spent the last five years sharing some inane banter with the cyberverse.

Seven things to be thankful for spans five years today:

  1. Blogger
  2. Dreamhost
  3. Xilo
  4. WordPress
  5. Scribefire
  6. Live writer
  7. Michael Owen
