Sacre Coeur, Paris...
I'm just playing around with Flock and found that looking at "interestingness" for the Flickr feed in the media bar gave me options when I clicked on photos to blog them. So I clicked on this picture and lo and behold, it appears as a blog post. I think that I like Flock.

A short manifesto
- Life is what you get to do, not what you've got to do.
- That thing you're looking for... it's not in the fridge. No, it's not in the cupboard either.
- Just because you feel stupid doesn't mean you are stupid.
- The only way to be able to love is to be able to be loved.
- Your ability or willingness to do a task will not magically increase if you leave it until tomorrow.
- Work is rarely its own reward; laziness usually is.
- You don't have a right to be right.
- The shorter-term your thinking, the more time you will lose in the long term.
- You will never have no distractions.
- If you think you've got problems, you should try finding solutions.

My life as a to-do list

Geoff and Tom on April
Basically I was thinking of this:
WHAN that Aprille with his shoures soote
APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
The droghte of
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Memory and desire, stirring
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Dull roots with spring rain.
Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
A little life with dried tubers.
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,
Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee
And smale fowles maken melodye,
With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade,
That slepen al the night with open ye,
And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten,
(So priketh hem nature in hir corages):
And drank coffee, and talked for an hour.
Than longen folk to goon on pilgrimages

Zemanta (part 2)
Image by Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten via FlickrStrangely, having said that Zemanta wasn't doing anything at all, the little orange rectangle on the side of this page has now turned into a panel of suggested pictures and articles, with some suggested links down near the bottom of this page. It looks as though I have to type 300 characters (don't know if that includes html for links etc) before it comes up with suggestions, but lo and behold I now have some suggested things to add to my blog post, so I'm going to click on them and see what happens.Labels: blogging, technology, Zemanta
