The Pile

"The Pile" has grown well passed the 10 book stage. Its accumulation started in 2011 (hey - is it my fault that New Vegas and Liberty City were so compelling?), and it now teeters at the edge of vision whenever I'm seated in front of our computer. A long overdue purge is required to get me back to writing up books when I read them rather than prevaricating for months, mesmerised by the daunting size of the stack. This isn't going to be pretty, it almost certainly won't do some of them justice, but let's see how many I can get through today.

I've got Iranians!

I've got Iranians!, a photo by Dr Yool on Flickr.

While I've certainly got a pretty solid crop of Americans over at my blog (thanks AMG!), I appear to have acquired some Iranians as well. Hurrah! Though I guess this must mean that the Islamic Republic isn't finding anything worth blocking out here ...

Nonetheless, welcome my Iranian friends to Strange News From The Plankton. I hope that you enjoy your visit to my humble blog.

In other news, it's disappointing that Firefox isn't topping the browser list these days, but at least those pesky Macs are being held at bay! ;-)

Popular posts

Just spotted a widget that displays a blog's most popular posts. I've added it to the left sidebar (then patched it with help from over here), and it looks pretty good. At the moment it's showing my I ❤ MATLAB post from November last year as "most-loved". I've just looked at the stats and, for better or worse, this is unlikely to change any time soon - inexplicably, it's waaaay ahead of everything else. Can someone please help me and read something else here instead?
