At the start of this month I set a target of 12,000 hits for February. It has now been met. As can be seen from my statistics, I had the single busiest day last week. This was due to my posting of the Digital Archive story on Slashdot.

I have surpassed January entirely and now average 600 hits, and 100 visits a day. I am not certain how many people I actually am getting, my other site meter at the bottom of this page says much less. Regardless, Gavinsblog.com continues to grow. Regards to all my readers.

An excellent description of Irelands defeat of Scotland in Six Nations Rugby. Gave me a chuckle!

Almost every blog I read is covering this story. The biggest search engine on the net has just bought Pyra, the company behind Blogger software. This should prove interesting as can be seen in the opinions with Onlineblog and Dan Shafer notes here.

In a riveting game of rugby, Ireland managed to break the 18 year losing streak against Scotland on Scotland’s home turf.

The final score was 36 -6, with some exceptional tries – notably Hickey and Murphy. Now we have to beat the Italians in Rome next week.

Happy Valentines Day. Hope everyone has a nice one, unfortunately my Valentine is in Frankfurt.

Feck Radio anyway. It is frustrating for things like this to happen. As you can see all my posts for the last 3 months have vanished. I will make as many available as I can through the categories section until the problem is fixed. I am waiting on an email with a script to fix the problem.

My mobile blogging is now up and running, and I am hoping Bernie can help me out with photo blogging.

This article, posted on Slashdot, about the ins and outs of Weblogging, its growth – and its eventual and inevitable coming demise. Interesting statistical analysis. But can I not be happy with a couple of thousand people a month? Makes me happy anyway. I think this article may be part of a study to see how many hits he gets.

Sincere condolonces to Bernie, on the loss of his father, George Francis Goldbach, 1929-2003.

Yes i have finally made the move to radio. I will be gradually adding the links that appeared on my old site – but there are some added benefits to moving to this software. I hope you all like it!

I haven’t been writing as much as I normally do – been busy with other matters. I went to see a production of Sophocles’ tragedy Antigone in the Cork Opera House on Saturday night.

It was a riveting production, I have now read the play as translated on MIT’s classics archive. It is a great story. Too tired now to write a review! But it was well worth the 25 euros – and like Shakespeares tragedies, most people are dead at the end.
