• Web hosting recommendation

    Several people have been asking me for a recommendation for web-hosting.

    I’m very happy to recommend the company that I use myself. They have the unglamorous but reassuring name of EZPZ and I’ve found them to be very good. They are particularly strong at fast customer service.

    Anyone looking for web-hosting for a WordPress site such as that needed to run the new SEC Web Template could look at EZPZ. I’m a fan.

    I note your reference to “in straight lines ” when you were at Bearsden PS.
    Were you not taught about tautologies in these former days, when education would have been more content based than you would have found on your recent visit?

    Er, yes I was and no, it isn’t.

    Ah yes, the staffroom etiquette. I’ve done the cup thing, the chair thing, and, possibly worst faux-pas of all, the crossword thing in my time. Nowadays there are no staff rooms, just bases, a whole new minefield of unwelcoming stares.

    Sorry to hear about the torrid time in P7 you had with the belting teacher…as a teacher myself, I’m not in favour of such tactics. I find a cold silent stare always used to work better than any cane or belt…such activities should be reserved for consenting adults only ;-/

      Thanks Jaye.

      The same teacher spent a quarter of each day on religious instruction and was, as I said, quite mad.

      One one occasion I was belted for humming. On another, simply, I suspect for being me.

      There are probably those reading this who have some sympathy with her.

    So then, parts of America have had no power for 24 hours. No dishwashers, no air conditioning, no ice in their soda – no civilization. How many of the millions who had no power have been spending the time reflecting o­n the lives of the Iraqis who have had no power for months? How many…

    To Edinburgh last night to hear William Dalrymple at the Book Festival. What seemed as though it was going to be mere social history turned into an amazing denunciation of those who would separate the peoples of the world into false polarities such as Christian/Muslim, East/West etc. Beginning from the wills and private correspondance of…
