Selling Out: Your Views Sought

I’m not going to share my thoughts on this one with you lot yet, except to link to this post on Black Triangle, but I’d like to read yours about these following plans of mine. I intend to put advertisements on the Wedding Photography Blog and on another potentially money-making blog that I have started […]

New Feature

Up there ↑ you should now be able to see a tab labelled “comments”. Click on it and you will visit a funky new page of the latest discussions on this site. Each link from that page to a given comment becomes paler grey the more time has elapsed since that comment was made. This […]

Two More Apologies

In response to the previous PooterGeek post I received an email from a reader in Dulwich who wishes to make it clear that, despite buying property there, the Thatchers never actually took up residence in her neighbourhood. I’m sorry for suggesting otherwise. I’ve also toned down the language I used about Susan Greenfield back here […]

Apologies And Hugs

Yesterday PooterGeek was down (and I couldn’t read my email) for quite a while beause someone “compromised” the server it’s hosted on. Sorry about that. It wasn’t my fault. I’ve been very busy lately so there’s not been much to read here anyway. This is sweet—if you don’t mind the grungey soundtrack. I am also […]

Sorry For The Silence

I’ve been tied up with lots of chores. Over the last couple of days these have included a massive computer backup and installathon and having a tooth I broke and had patched up years ago repaired. Read Bagrec, with one of several blog posts I’ve noticed lately about the fruitcakery following in the wake of […]

Ask A Silly Question

There’s no longer any need for you to give a dumb answer to post here because—as Jo, I, and others have noticed—SpamQuiz doesn’t do what it says on the tin. I have deactivated it. For Jo and anyone else’s information the plug-in that displays the latest comments and trackbacks over on the right hand side […]

Captcha!

Commenters here might have noticed that, this week, PooterGeek acquired a new CAPTCHA, that is a test to check that you are, er, “human” before your comment is accepted by the system. It’s to discourage spammers from clogging up this blog with links to their poker, porn, and Viagra sites. The PooterGeek CAPTCHA is basic: […]

Overdue Linkage

I keep meaning to update my blogroll to include some thoroughly entertaining but low traffic sites like Never Trust A Hippy and Rob Newman, who has discovered more amusing real-life lunacy since I last linked to him, but I want to change the format of the links completely—so, right now, the perfect is getting in […]

Reading Frenzy

The PooterGeek site is being spanked like a cabinet minister at an upmarket brothel these days. Since about a month ago the number of hits it’s been taking each hour has jumped sharply. I honestly don’t have an explanation for it, especially as my work these days inevitably comes in bursts and requires me to […]

At Home With The Geek

World domination. It’s not what it used to be. Sharks, lasers, death rays, golf carts driven by chicks in jumpsuits? Get with the program, people! Picture this: a lovable retired university professor in an Australia T-shirt. He walks into a pub, talks to you about cricket, human rights, and before you know it you’ve invaded […]

Another Lovely Irony

In the past 24 hours, Benji has posted multiple comments here at PooterGeek under (at least) four different false identities, all of them sneering about the number of signatories to the Euston Manifesto. I’ve deleted them all now and will continue to do so, but it’s nice that someone cares so much about the EM […]

Interlude

I’m not suffering from Norm’s Blogosphere fatigue—in fact I have got lots I would love to write about—but I really am ridiculously busy at the moment so I am shutting down PooterGeek for a few days.

Spam Attack!

PooterGeek is under massive and sustained blog spam assault so I am temporarily disabling comments and trackbacks while I look for a solution. Sorry, folks. UPDATE: We’re back in action, people. Bad Behaviour solved the problem.

More Advertising

Sorry for the thinness of posting and for the “online poker” comment spam at PooterGeek lately. I have been busy with wedding photography and other photography, attending my nephew’s (godson’s) christening, and catching up with friends—as well as this thing of course. Thank you to PooterGeek readers who have been helping me get business (and […]

Commercial Break

I’ve got a couple of photography engagements to do so I am going to be too busy to blog over the next couple of days. Normally I would post a joke here and leave you to talk amongst yourselves, but, sadly, as a result of the attention the Euston Manifesto has brought to this site, […]

Censorship Watch

Checking the PooterGeek comments that I have blocked in the moderation queue this morning, I note that, for the first time, the number expressing hatred of blacks is exactly matched by the number expressing hatred of Jews. Which is nice.

Mystery Gift

A perk of running this site is receiving nice presents from readers / freebies from corporate shills—not that any of them sway my editorial judgment at all, as I sit here watching the Web on my Mitsubishi monitor, eating Bahlsen’s tasty Choco Leibniz. Recently, in response to one of my posts here, the proprietor of […]

“Euston”? You Mean Like In The Manifesto?

Yes, I’m busy and I hope regular readers will be patient with me. As Norm pointed out to me earlier today, the fourth third hit on Google for the word “Euston” is the Euston Manifesto. Not Euston Station [click image to enlarge] Worryingly, this blog, which has thrived on stories of my loserhood, is being […]

G-reetings

And now, in honour of a far-too-frequent reader of PooterGeek, the Drunken Choir of the Enlightenment sing their hit jingle Happy Birthday [Get A Life] [MP3 729Kb].

Slight Technical Problem

If you’ve emailed me recently—today, that is—I probably won’t have received it (yet). I have exceeded my data storage quota with my hosts. This is entirely my fault for allowing myself to be distracted by another Web project. Ironically most of my excess data take the form of huge visitor logs. Yes, I can’t read […]

In The Dating Arena

I’m at that singles event I’m supposed to be photographing. I’m holding my new camera. It’s not discreet like my old one. The vertical grip is attached and I have a wireless flash with me. I don’t have one of those penis-extension telephoto lenses, but I still look like a paparazzo. MAN IN SUIT: Are […]

George’s Problems Solved

George Szirtes complained recently of PooterGeek looking even weirder than usual on his old Mac. This was fixed by installing the free version of this Web browser. It also improved his experience of various other sites compared with the way they looked under Internet Explorer—not surprising given that IE is software written by bum-heads.
