29 December 2006

Well, thanks to coralpoetry for pointing out this has become a blog of note, presumably the last of 2006. I suppose this might be more humbling if there were published criteria for what makes a blog noteworthy, or if I had been aware of this feature before it linked to ... for Some Value of Magic. Another ten seconds of my fifteen minutes of fame?

Acknowledgements of any sort are encouraging, though. Like the old saying about bad publicity, for a minor blog there's no such thing as unwelcome atttention! So many thanks to whoever at Blogger (Google) put me on that list and to anyone else who happens to read this blog.

Because of the linkage I suspect that a small spike in readership is likely to occur, so let me take this opportunity to wish all fellow-members of the blogosphere (dreadful word) and all Holden Web customers a happy and prosperous new year. 2006 (and especially the latter part of it) has been somewhat traumatic for various reasons, so here's hoping for a smoother 2007.

Finally, while I have your attention, let me point you to Pass IT On, my favourite charity. Martha and Sandy's dedication to their goal of providing computer equipment to the disabled is single-minded, and I wish I could do more to help them. If Santa Claus has brought you a new computer please consider donating your old one. They also need cash support to help them become a free-standing organisation this year, so you can give them money if you don't have a computer to spare. Good luck to all at Pass IT On.
