Let me get this straight. The British Medical Association is worried about the effects of text messaging on reproductive organs?? I really don’t see how that would work. I mean, for one thing, unless you’ve got a honkin’ big screen on your phone, you’ve gotta hold it near your face. (I’ve never seen anyone hold their phone at waist level, as this article suggests.) And secondly… As long as you’re not pointin’ the thing at yourself, you’re okay, right?

Another thing – the older comments are gone but will be added soon. (I’ve got to add the bloody things in by hand.)

I forgot to mention that you can now decide how many days worth of posts you’d like to see on the home page. Just visit the preferences page and set your preferred value!

This is my first official Blogger-less post! The archive listing page and the last five comments functionality are currently disabled, but everything else should be up and running. The comments system now works a bit differently, in that each post has its own page where comments are added and recorded. Try and it and let me know what you think!

I know I’ve said this a hundred times before, but this is my last post before implementing the new Blogger-less system tonight. I think it’s ready, folks! Seriously.

This Salon article “Old and in the family way” talks about the “quality of life” issues associated with having a baby late in life. It’s an interesting read. I know I would definitely want to have my own life and career before settling down to raise kids, but do I really want to be 55 and running after a teenager? Also, the author neglects to talk about a situation I’m currently experiencing: that of the parent who had kids at a young age, and is now adding to the family again 25 years later. How old are your parents/kids? Would you have preferred it differently?

What a gorgeous day in London! Actually this is the third beautiful day we’ve had in a row. That can mean only one thing: this coming three-day holiday weekend is going to be miserable. But until then I’m just enjoying the sunshine and warm temperatures. Snookums and I had lunch in the park on Monday, slurping on Icee-Pops (actually they were called “Space Alien Sabres”) bought from the newsagent and acting like 8-year-olds. *sigh* London summer almost makes up for London winter. Almost.

Which reminds me, I also updated the code for my comment system. You only need to download the fix if you’re using the last five comments functionality.

I got a nice e-mail this morning from Mick, the webmaster of Game-Cheatz.com. He’s implementing my poll system and found a bug. I’ve updated the source code at my site, so if you’re trying to use my system, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got the fixed version. Thanks Mick!
