Month: July 2003

As I’ve noted only recently, I get a number of strange search referrals every day. This is due, in no small part, to the lack of finesse some people bring to their search engine requests, and it usually ends up being quite amusing. Yesterday, for instance, saw requests for a “floating head of death”, “photographs of monkeys masturbating”, the “effect of great depression on american dream”, “sermons on aliens”, and the “the appeal of monty python”. Sadly, no “crossdressing Veronica Lake” just yet — although rest assured, Nyssa, the chances of that happening just get a whole lot better.

But, speaking of the appeal of Monty Python…I was very unexpectedly interviewed once again by BBC Radio earlier this evening. This mp3 is about three times as large as the last one at 8.72 MB, and they understandably spoke more with guest Martin Lewis than with me (he has, after all, met and worked with the Pythons), but it was again a lot of fun.

I suspect I’ll be genuinely disappointed if they don’t call me again in another two months.

Yes, I’m aware the comments aren’t working. No, I don’t know why. I’m trying to incorporate cgiComments, but I’ve so far been unsuccessful at getting much more than a blank new window to open. My web hosting plan appears to allow cgi files, and I’ve followed the instructions as best I could, but it’s still not working properly. And getting dragged back and forth between my boss’ office and my own hasn’t left me much time to examine the problem.

I suspect I’ll end up going back to YACCS. Which is fine, on those occasions when I can coax it to work…

Update: for the time being, and with much frustration, I’ve gone back to the old YACCS commenting system.

Although I’m sometimes tempted to include more local humor in the sketches I write for “Girls Night Out”, the campus sketch comedy show I’ll be a part of starting this fall, I’m not sure it would be in the best of taste to make jokes about this.
