Internet Semantics: Advice needed

Published on November 8, 2005

Ok, so I’ve registered Goonanism.com and hammygoonan.com. Sweet. Soon I’ll purchase some hosting and move this blog there. The question is, which do I use as my primary domain name and which do I just point to my server?
Key things to consider include:

email address? Do I want to be hammyg@goonanism.com, me@hammygoonan.com [...]


Movember

Published on November 4, 2005

It’s Movember kids! Get into it.
Personally I’m sporting some handsome handlebars at the mo (see how many ways that works).


Cyclists

Published on November 2, 2005

Few are more self righteous than the cyclist:
As a cyclist, these failures drive me beserk. I refuse to own a car, partly because I believe it is wrong to fill other people’s lungs with carcinogens. And so, while the drivers breathe their filtered air, I have to sit behind their tailpipes, drawing their excretions – [...]


The Island

Published on October 31, 2005

I never really reported back on “The Island” so here are a few pics for you - my beloved readers:
I’m a femminist and I do not condone the behaviour displayed here:
I swear I don’t know this person:
The camp site:
Oh yeah, there were some Motorbikes too:


Spelling

Published on October 27, 2005

I have a problem with visual recognition (and a piece of paper to prove it). Consequentially I’m a horrible speller. Anyone who has read this blog knows that hardly a post goes by without a spelling mistake.
I’ve decided that I’m going to start keeping a list of how much money spelling mistakes have [...]


I’ve been getting into Crass lately

Published on October 26, 2005

“Poison In A Pretty Pill”
Your tactile eyes is running over glossy paper,Printed on with tactile lies of glaze and gause.They say, ‘Forget yourself, adorn with this disguise’,This womanhood of smooth and tampered whores.Let me warn you of their cold sensitivity,They’ll have you gathered in a trap of glass.Is your reflection all that you will recognise?That [...]


Right of reply

Published on October 24, 2005

(cross-posted at The Australian Centre for Democracy and Justice’s Blog)
The most common Google search that brings people to this site is ‘Geoism’. It is of course referring to this post.
This belated comment has just come to my attention so I thought it would be remiss of me to leave it tucked away in archives. [...]


Blog software

Published on October 19, 2005

As I prepare myself to move this bad boy over to www.hammygoonan.com or www.goonanism.com I find myself asking Movable Type or Wordpress?
I’m using Wordpress over at democracyandjustice.org/blog and quite happy with it but I was wondering if there’s anyone out there that prefers one over the other.
I’m quite tempted to go with Movable Type just [...]


The Labor Betrayal

Published on October 18, 2005

I know I’ve said it before but I’m just reminded of it too often. The current ALP currently represents the greatest betrayal of working, left-leaning and thinking people Australia has ever seen.
If I may quote Big Kim: “‘I would say that the effect of (the factions) has been generally to produce good policy.’”
Get fucked [...]


Civil Liberties Forum

Published on October 13, 2005

Hello all,
Just a gentle reminder that next Tuesday, everyone’s favorite NGO, the Australian Centre for Democracy and Justice, are holding their 3rd Monthly forum and it’s shaping up to be a ripper!
It will feature Anne O’Rourke (Liberty Victoria) and Greg Barns (Rights Australia) discussing the possibility of an ID card, the deportation of Scott Parkin, [...]
