Hope it delivers extra visitors and commenters. Good luck! 2008-04-09T14:24:15.083+02:00 2008-04-09T14:24:15.083+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1323658&comment_id=25099917 Ian Thanks. This is very useful information. I will check these plugins out. 2008-03-29T03:53:04.461+01:00 2008-03-29T03:53:04.461+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1300640&comment_id=24802424 Ian Hard to say. It provides me with a decent amount of traffic but whether that keeps up is hard to predict. Will it stick around or will something new and cool come along to wipe it out? 2008-03-16T12:39:10.797+01:00 2008-03-16T12:39:10.797+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1296483&comment_id=24801271 Ian Wow, thats a very scary thing to have happened. I've had a couple of car accidents but nothing where I thought I might have been killed. Glad to know you're ok. 2008-03-16T06:04:46.463+01:00 2008-03-16T06:04:46.463+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1289436&comment_id=24704615 Ian I posted on my blog about this last night. Gemma sure made up for lack of quantity with the sheer quality of her friends' destructiveness. They'd make a great couple. 2008-03-10T09:44:34.997+01:00 2008-03-10T09:44:34.997+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1289226&comment_id=24702828 Ian I di happen to see fur-lined Crocs a few weeks ago when I was in Tokyo. I've never seen anything other than the standard model Crocs until then. 2008-03-10T03:46:48.886+01:00 2008-03-10T03:46:48.886+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1288068&comment_id=24692695 Ian The Jam. Fantastic English band in the late 70's,early 80's. Much, much better than anything I see listed above. 2008-03-09T04:18:55.379+01:00 2008-03-09T04:18:55.379+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1286856&comment_id=24680740 Ian Thats a good list of tools there. I agree with the comments above about Share This and Top Commentators plugins ... both very useful. 2008-03-08T03:57:02.236+01:00 2008-03-08T03:57:02.236+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1286759&comment_id=24679718 Ian I'm not a fan of these post rating things. They don't really mean anything. A better measure of the quality of your posts is number of visitors and comments. 2008-03-08T01:58:30.366+01:00 2008-03-08T01:58:30.366+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1279602&comment_id=24583617 Ian Cool, although no doubt you pay your share of its cost if you stay at the hotel. I'll have to check it out if ever I get to Berlin. 2008-03-03T12:11:04.649+01:00 2008-03-03T12:11:04.649+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1279268&comment_id=24583091 Ian Nice list of themes there. I like Fresh, Torn and My Journals themes out of those. 2008-03-03T03:46:57.440+01:00 2008-03-03T03:46:57.440+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1278255&comment_id=24581512 Ian I think papers will hang on for a while yet. Not that I read them much. Apart from the odd one I've read sitting in a coffee shop, or handed out free on an airplane, I hardly look at one. I think the only ones I've bought in the last year or so have been when my daughter asks me to get one, but thats only because she uses it to line the bottom of her bird cages! 2008-03-02T06:07:23.807+01:00 2008-03-02T06:07:23.807+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1272368&comment_id=24542488 Ian This is a bugbear of mine, people using disabled parking spaces because they are fat. I've been (semi) joking to my kids that if anything they should have fat spaces at the furthest part of the carpark than regular spaces ... so they have to walk further and get more exercise. 2008-02-27T06:58:48.771+01:00 2008-02-27T06:58:48.771+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1265989&comment_id=24407767 Ian Pickles - you're obviously not getting tired of this camel toe theme of yours. Plus I bet it gets you a shitload of traffic from Google. 2008-02-23T07:27:24.211+01:00 2008-02-23T07:27:24.211+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1262555&comment_id=24335077 Ian Yes, please. Can it also take the boxes out to the garage, stack them neatly and remember to throw them out after x years? 2008-02-21T13:34:51.287+01:00 2008-02-21T13:34:51.287+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1260835&comment_id=24313957 Ian I can relate to those guys. Always happens when you're on a deadline - computer runs like a dog, photocopier jams, network goes down, etc. Fortunately I've managed to contain my office rage - I think the worst I've done is slam a mouse down and bits fell off it. 2008-02-20T14:23:02.427+01:00 2008-02-20T14:23:02.427+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1206611&comment_id=23476292 Ian I hate this idea. The geniuses who thought this up need to be lined up against the wall and shot (just like the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics corporation). 2008-01-25T08:15:02.084+01:00 2008-01-25T08:15:02.084+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1128738&comment_id=22395093 Ian I personally don't like blogs full of PPP. Spruiking products is not what I think blogging should be about ... rather I look to read people's experiences and observations about things happening in their world. I'll (reluctantly) accept that it is around and don't mind good blogs with the occasional ad post. What really turns me away from blogs is overdoing the PPP so there's more ads than meaningful content. (Mind you, a page full of Adsense before you see any actual content is worse). What really annoys me about PPP is bloggers here in Australia spruiking for products and services that aren't even available here and which they could not possibly have had any experience of. 2007-11-30T02:13:55.534+01:00 2007-11-30T02:13:55.534+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1097823&comment_id=22050145 LIC Here's an idea - move the horse race to a Saturday, like just about every other horse race. 2007-11-04T10:38:02.698+01:00 2007-11-04T10:38:02.698+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1015052&comment_id=19512015 Ian This is yet another example of "tick the box" consultation, ie it only happens so the public servants can tick the box on consultation, not because anything will be influenced by it. Pointless exercise. Why waste your time participating in the sham? 2007-09-25T11:18:29.541+02:00 2007-09-25T11:18:29.541+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=1003198&comment_id=18868042 pyersquared Thanks for putting this video up ...I loved this song and had been looking for it for ages. Now for an mp3 of it? Deborah Conway hasn't changed much over the last 20 years ...still looks great and sounds great. 2007-09-16T13:58:28.813+02:00 2007-09-16T13:58:28.813+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=780354&comment_id=15174745 Living in Canberra This year I've noticed, you can even combine the two, porn and fireworks. One of the local porn emporiums has been advertising fireworks for sale on the TV (for non Canberra residents, yes we have porn shop ads on TV late at night). Hope no-one gets confused when they get home with their fireworks and "adult" toys. 2007-06-07T05:52:46.490+02:00 2007-06-07T05:52:46.490+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=725044&comment_id=14180487 pyersquared Fantastic. Anybody seen any Numbers videos? I loved these guys as The Numbers - saw them heaps when I was at uni. 2007-05-18T16:15:29.061+02:00 2007-05-18T16:15:29.061+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=418260&comment_id=6909541 undefined Can't wait for Neon Bible to be released. And a tour would be fantastic! You can hear another song from it "Black Mirror" at www.neonbible.com - it is very good too. 2007-01-21T02:45:02.764+01:00 2007-01-21T02:45:02.764+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=36337&comment_id=56224 Living in Canberra I've got mixed feelings about this one. On the one hand Freo were definitely ripped off, but on the other, what happened to "play to the whistle" (and also you wouldn't have been in the position to draw or even lose if you weren't so shit in the last quarter). I'd give Freo the points out of pity - and they need the help. 2006-05-01T11:23:35.787+02:00 2006-05-01T11:23:35.787+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Living_in_Canberra&conv=29681&comment_id=46090 Living in Canberra Is it supposed to be the "on" or "off" year for the Dees? Or should that be bad or atrocious year? I saw the 2nd half yesterday and they looked very poor. A team thats been soft mentally for quite some time, and not looking likely to change. 2006-04-09T09:24:44.238+02:00 2006-04-09T09:24:44.238+02:00
