Very Short Parish Notice
Parish Notice
For the next couple of weeks SadButMadLad and me will be handling some of the site admin, working with the other contributors.
Roughly, SadButMadLad is handling site admin issues, and I’m dealing with planning content, Guest Posts and background email queries.
There may also be a couple of small changes happening in the site design.
There are more general details on the About/Contact page.
Matt Wardman blogs at The Wardman Wire, on media, politics and technology, in addition to writing at the Raccoon’s burrow.
[Update: Just had an email from SBML pointing out that he did the emails last time, and I have got the short straw. Hmmm.]

Where is Mme Raccoon? This isn’t a coup, is it?

Matt, you need a serious comment from moi. There is a current difficulty
with giving feedback on the choice of topics, in all blogs. Although
challenging a blog’s view on a topic is welcomed, criticising the choice of
topic gets a variation on “collect a refund on the way out”; it’s rightly seen
as insulting a bloghost, particularly when they have high ratings in things
like Wikio.
You’d probably have to invite people to break the taboo, at
least for a week or so, and
it could be a bit painful to read.
Being
less serious, the more wounding comments could be shrugged off with collective
responsibility, government style (Matt briefing to press “that wasn’t me, SBML
did it”, SBML briefing “that wasn’t me, Matt did it”).

Well, looking at the first post after said notice, it seems that while the
Raccoon’s away, the mice will play! Trying to ‘find the level’, are we,
chaps?

Actually it’s been in draft for a week, but I’m sure Anna has a mousetrap
somewhere !
I don’t see how I could make the point about the trend without the pics,
but – yes – trying to find the level, and the more feedback the merrier.

“Finding the level”. You need a spirit level. Not in the engineering
sense, but in a Carlos Castaneda Teachings Of Don Juan way.
Drink some
peyote and an animal will appear in your dream, your spirit guide.
This
could be a raccoon “Change the nature of the blog and your dick gets the
teeth”.
It could be a fighting bull “More sport, tits, and buckets of
testosterone”.
Or it could be the geekish owl “Discuss Ipod apps and
Dana Scully”
Hope this has been helpful, it was penned after consulting my own
spirit guide, the Mocking Bird (here be smiley face emoticon).

Well, here’s a disgruntled customer to start you off !
Its particularly
poor form to be showing that irritating ad supporting spending £30 billion ,
thats right , before the inevitable cost overuns, the estimated cost is 30
billion, of tax payers money on a pointless section of high speed rail line
.
Don’t take my word for it, log onto the Taxpayers Alliance website and
see what the sensible and clever people there think of it !

I don’t think I can help you there. Ads cover site hosting costs, and I
don’t think we get an opt-out.
They are free to make their case, after all.
I’d welcome a guest post refuting it, though.

Ads, what ads? Use the Adblock plugin in Mozilla and all the irritating
stuff goes away for a clear and faster browsing experience.

Thanks Jabba, seems to be working even on my Linux box.

Well I got the TPA advert so at least both sides of the argument are
being shown.
