I was reading an article about successful blogs and blogging which I felt resonated with me.
D. Keith (I always read that as Dr Keith for some reason) points out that a good blog has regular posts, interesting information and sometimes humourous content. This is pretty much exactly the same criteria (critrion?) that links in my ‘Worthy blogs’ section must pass.
Unfortunately the realisation has stuck that my very own blog, this here now, would not pass my own criteria for being a worthy blog :O. I would like to think that this is because I am just getting started and feeling my way around my for my own writing style and trying to improve that style.

Can you improve something you haven’t found?

anyway, as they say in AA meetings* the first step is to admit that you have a problem…
Here it is then, I have a problem knowing what to blog about and being sure to make it interesting and/or amusing.

I will be working at this problem along with several others (mostly programming based) over the next few weeks and months.
Bear with me during this period, and as the once popular songs states

Things can only get better… 😉

*I’ve never actually been to an AA meeting

Well I did go to see Spiderman 2 yesterday, and I did join the gym too (yay for me).

I must say that I really enjoyed the film, not to sure about the comments that its better than the first, but its certainly of the same level. There was however two points in the film that I found slightly irritating, what were they, well firstly I’ll explain why I found them irritating:
Being fairly clever but not all that strong I am a big fan of situations that are solved with brain power as opposed to brute force. Seeing as there was a point made in the film about how clever Peter Parker is, I was disapointed that this approach wasn’t used in two secions of the film.
The first one was with the runaway train, surely any quick thinking invividual would realise that the first thing to do in the situation is to disconnect the power from the electrified rail so the motors on the train are no longer powering it forwards?
THEN you can start throwing webs everywhere to stop it.
Below this is a spoiler so if you haven’t seen the film, don’t go on.
