Well, one of you might find that first post slightly amusing - or at least eyeroll worthy.

So, my first post on this fine blog.  the name's not mine - it's chosen by mine host, who apparently finds me to be very snide... I don't know if I am.

According to our wonderful online dictionary snide is: derogatory in a malicious, superior way.

I don't quite think I am snide - superior, maybe I'll agree with him there, but malicious? hmmm....

So, what to expect from this.  well for those that expect a font of insightful technical knowledge, or an author of witty banter about my glorious social life - you can all breathe easy.  I am neither, and therefore you are going to save a lot of time not reading my snide, substandard drivel.  Substandard because it wouldn't even achieve the dizzying heights you may have come to expect from your daily dose of drivel.

I probably won't be posting a lot or as regular as some other bastions of good blogging, and defenders of grammar and spelling you may find around here - and as I have said it probably won't be very technical, or very witty or insightful.  That's not my life.  But hey, it might get interesting now and then you never know - I might end up posting about what Other people are doing.

Of course this will probably end up very self-censored, as no doubt people will find it linked to other workmates journals, and of course workmates will be reading this from time to time, so I won't be mentioning much about the ignorant, useless fine people I work with.

Okay, so we might as well end this with a nice tip for anyone reading this... if you use Google search at all, or have the Google toolbar - which I find endlessly useful, then you can do this nifty little thing: type (without the quotes of course) "define: <word>" where <word> is the word you want the definition of.  This will give you a list of the definitions for that word that Google finds across a large group of glossaries and dictionaries.

Google has quite a few little tools like this and you've really gotta go hunting for them sometimes.

Anyway, I guess this is long enough and dull enough for anyone to not read whatsoever, so... farewell until the next inevitable dull entry.
