I just ate 3 raw oysters in Stream; thus breaking my previous oyster record by one (previous record set at Trinity Ball, summer 1996, oysters both swallowed whole washed down with swigs of Lanson Black Label - who said Cambridge was a place of privilege?). This time, the first oyster was tricky - swallowed whole after a minute sitting in my mouth while I pretended I'd already eaten it, finally washed down with fizzy mineral water, second oyster, getting into the swing of things, chewed and swallowed, third oyster chewed, savoured and swallowed. Have I totally conquered oysters, or what!? Last night I was thinking that I need to change this website so it's based more on a template which pulls the content from a backend database (which the Blogger bit IS, of course), to make it easier to add and change things in any part of the site, like the links on the right for example. At the moment, many would say that most of the content seems to emanate a backend of a different sort... Also I want a commenting feature, since despite having asked expressly for the forum it appears no-one is using it, probably because they can't be bothered. I might try to get Dotcomments onto it in the short-term. But basically, I need to learn how to make ASP pages with Access and SQL, which I've been meaning to do, but never get around to for one reason or another. Finally, I need to get Photoshop and figure out how to use it so I can sort out the title bar, which I am feeling just doesn't look quite right. Yes, I'm feeling inspired right now. It's probably those damn oysters.
