By First Post Tomorrow

Strange and senseless is life, said the poet (OK, so the poet never said anything of the kind, but he might have done...). True enough. Here I am writing a blog, and a couple of months back I thought I'd never do anything remotely of the kind. For one thing I'm too lazy to maintain a blog, it's just too much work.

So what brought on this sudden change, you ask? Oh, you don't ask. Good, because I have no idea why in God's name I'm suddenly afflicted with writing fever. Some sort of virus, I believe. In any case, here is the first post in all its possibly tedious entirety. I'm going to send it off , and hope it finds you safe and sound.

Incidentally, I'm not even sure what purpose this is supposed to serve. There are technology blogs, fanatical blogs, scientific blogs and artistic blogs... but these are just the idle ramblings of someone who's sitting at 7:50 P.M. and feeling rather bored. Still, apparently, it's nice to have a blog, so here it is. And now I've no idea how to fill it.

Oh, wait a minute. I could keep blabbering like this for another few pages! Now, there's an idea! But hang on... did I hear a thousand agonized screams of protest? Right ho, then, as Bertie Wooster might have said, I'll stop... I'll take this post, put it in an envelope and stick a few stamps on it, and off it goes to the main page. It'll go out by first post tomorrow...
