Filler 30

Sometimes I write, or go some way towards writing, entries for this blog that don't see the light of day. Not often -- I am, as you probably know by now, brazen enough to post all manner of rubbish -- but there are a few, lurking in the database, doomed to spend eternity in "Draft" mode. Perhaps they seemed like a good idea at the time; perhaps I wrote them even though I was painfully aware they were a really fucking bad idea.

I started one of those last night. At the time I imagined I'd finish and post it today.

Ack.

Movable Type has a feature called Categories, which is used here on WalkyTalky but not generally made visible. Ian just wandered by as I was about to start writing this and was amused to see that its selected category was Gibberish; that's the category I put nearly all posts in. There's one for Stories, of course, and a couple of others.

And there's one, hardly ever used, not even when I'm incredibly miserable, as is often the case these days, called Despair.

There were some things that were meant to be in last night's entry that I'd like to find a way of saying. Maybe I will, someday. In the meantime, at least it nudged me to update the link in this old entry.

Matt, all your images are broken from here, I get 403 Forbidden, a permissions problem maybe?

Sort of. They've got "hotlink protection" on, which probably filters on referrer. Are you using some funny browser and/or configuration that would mask that?

I can disable it if necessary. I just got pissed off by the number of unsavoury and/or malicious people referencing the Marching Boys pics, but it's not as if the bandwidth is enough to get worked up about about.

You are right, I generally use Opera but if I use IE then I can see the images. Seems like a slightly broken feature though.

I'll give you a call sometime soon, catch up...

James,

Have you tried Mozilla Firefox? I have no problems with either formating or image viewing with it.
