MENJ the Serial Stalker

I was actu­ally mov­ing on with my more or less incred­ibly unpre­dict­able life that seems to be in con­stant flux when it was brought to my atten­tion via email that MENJ had been writ­ing about me. Unlike him, I have no reason to deny him the hits he will get from read­ers of this blog,

Hawa O is Not Nadia Minah

But you mur­der­ous lot don’t really care. Her state­ment. Go learn Linux or some­thing else pro­duct­ive rather than fur­ther witch hunts which reminds me of the fol­low­ing mob from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Wikileaks/Mastercard

Couldn’t get down to blog­ging for the past few days as the mobile broad­band con­nec­tion at my cur­rent medium-term abode is some­how at the very edge of the DiGi bor­der of Internet-land.

Changes in Comment Format

Due to the over­whelm­ing num­ber of test­ing of the com­ment thread­ing fea­ture in the past few days, I have decided to change the threaded com­ment set­tings which were pre­vi­ously unlim­ited, to just one. Dis­qus handles the threaded com­ments in a man­ner that stead­ily reduces the dis­play size of the com­ment box and the pub­lished com­ments the

Why Do They Believe It?
