I saw that

Knowing who that was as I do (a very distinctive IP address supplied by a company I used to work for on, well, designing their IP security from the ground up - I know where they cut corners... ), I am flattered, obviously.  And not just to discover that I'm not the only person in Edinburgh who uses those criteria.  But then I am notoriously vain.

Edit - Confirmed... the place of work (BoS) was the giveaway, mon chef.

Later Edit - Looking at these entries in the IP log led me to spot a far more interesting set of site accesses, from somebody a mere few hundred metres from me, judging from the router address and IP allocation.  And what intriguing search criteria.  Haven't seen that for a while.  Well, well, well...

Wilfully Obscure

So, you're happily walking into work - the route varies but today it was a rare foray up Dundas Street's western side - listening to Penny Arcade's podcast talking about the Wii, when someone wanders up and hits you with a baseball bat, full in the face.  Not in an unpleasant way, granted, but it still leaves a boy disoriented and a little dazed for the rest of the journey.  I can hardly remember anything after internet guerillas siezing nintendo.com...

Honestly, it's like myspace here.  I'll be posting song lyrics next.
