Uniform resource locators, aka freaky websites

When deciding on what domain name to use for this blog I stumbled across some interesting facts. For example I hadn’t previously realised that I lead a second life as a dynamic solution focused ex-assistant manager of a computer shop in Bristol (http://www.danhughes.com). Even more alarmingly I uncovered a disgruntled, bitter and possibly dangerous ex pupil of my local high school (http://www.holmfirth.com). A man who I suspect may have the potential to turn into some kind of masked vigilante killer, sworn to wreak vengeance on all bullies, prefects and incompetent teachers.

It’s amazing what’s out there if you type in random web addresses. Once when showing my dad around the internet I mistakenly typed hotmale.com instead of hotmail.com. I wouldn’t advise you to do the same, particularly if you are with your dad. I remember a rather awkward silence then a frantic search for the back button.

The changeover to the new site is going ok. A fair few people haven’t switched their links yet, but that’s ok, I’m going to be on blogger for a little while longer yet. In theory this blog exists purely as a way of recording our family life for posterity, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t like the fact that other people read it too. Now that I’m moving from blogger I’m not going to get the random visits generated by their next blog button, so I guess I’m going to have to look into other ways of generating traffic. I wonder if www.donkeyporn.com is available?
