The Surgery

Be sure to tune-in to your local ABC Radio National today at 5:55 P.M. as I rant violently about something that bugs the bejeezus out of me.

Some of you may recall my sporadic contributions to Brett deHoedt’s successful podcast “Hootville” (R.I.P.), in which I waxed lyrical about the demise of the English language.

On this occasion, I’m talking about those little dots that form part of the letters ‘i’ and ‘j’. The little dot is called a tittle.

Please remember to dot your i’s. And your j’s. And don’t forget to cross your t’s. Thankyou.

ABC Melbourne: 621 kHz AM. Follow this link for other ABC stations in your area. Many thanks to Brett, and ABC producer Sue Clark for the opportunity to rant on Perspective.

I’ve started a new page about my recent WordPress installation.

If you’re interested in hosting your own blog server, check it out.

But why, I hear you ask, would you want to run your own blog server? Why not just use Blogger, or a site hosted by WordPress, or MySpace, or any of the other hundreds of blogging sites available?

The answer is partly for the technical exercise, and also for the flexibility you get by running your own system.

Yes I’m taking some annual leave … “use it or lose it” they told me, so who am I to argue? I won’t be going away and Laney is working for a large part of the time.

How should I while away the hours? What constructive suggestions do you have for this lowly bit-twiddler?

Welcome to Dr Ron’s Doctor’s Surgery.

After much procrastination, and swearing that I’d never, ever publish a blog, it’s finally happened.

Join me here for rants and raves, musings and speculation about everything related to technology in Australia.

I’ll be taking tiny steps at first (being the introverted, trepeditious soul that I am). Bear with me as I learn all there is to know about blogging.
