As Greg so put it in his very Australian way:

So pretty much the little guys run like terriers and the big guys try to squash them.

I confess I wound up spending probably more time playing UNO Spin with their daughter Hannah-Kate than watching the first part. I did join in during the final quarter. Strange game. I could like it, if I knew the rules better. Some of it’s really quite ridiculous – particularly the Patriots losing.

In AFL (Aussie Rules Football) every player is lean and athletic. In NFL there seems to be all shapes – so long as you’ve got the exaggerated V happening before the shoulder pads go on.

But then, we don’t wear helmets, shoulder pads and leggings. To think of it, AFL is really quite Australian. Who cares.

Both games, as per most sports, incur rabid, fanatical viewers. Here I think is a universal thing.

On a totally different note. Poor Scott keeps getting his comments eaten by Askimet and I have to fish them out of the Comment Spam area. It’s just his posts, they don’t contain links and it is every single time. Shouldn’t Askimet/Wordpress learn? Any idea how I can fix this?

Scary.

What’s the average word count for a thesis? Perhaps I should go do something useful with my time?

I satisfied my curiosity with this TD Word Count plugin.

Post of the day goes to a blog I do not read but found through someone else who also found it through someone else.

Paradise Lost

It’s a very interesting post. Somewhat challenging and quite beautiful. I am not about to cease blogging but it’s an important reminder to keep things in perspective.

Blogging Post of the Day

The things you don’t realise! Yesterday I fell in love with Feedburner. It first saved my bum in providing a mail subscription option for my work’s blog. Not that it was any real huge issue, but it did bring a note of satisfaction to my afternoon.

Secondly, in my perusal of wordpress plugins I realised that I did not have my standard blog feed hooked up to my feedburner one. Woops. I found a plugin that lets me do this easily and so now everything is set. But Feedburner has so much more. I’d hardly scratched the surface. It pays sometimes to explore a little more.

One day I’ll work out how Technorati and Digg work and why I am bothering having accounts there (or I think I still do).
