Things of Which I May Not Speak

my video crossed 1,000 views in 4 days on YouTube.

Thanks to Karthik at Milliblog, BeatlesTube.net and In The Life of The Beatles for sharing it! And to anyone else who shared it that I don’t know about.

[P.S. If you find/know-of any other site that has linked-to/embedded my video, let me know.]

UPDATE: It seems that, at the moment, if you search for “The Beatles” on Google or YouTube, my video shows up on the first page. And, it’s now approaching 3000 views in five days.

This is where the last two posts came from:

There is a lot more in here. All from 1996-97. It was a very good year.

Last night, I dreamt I went to Manderley again. #

I went back to my college, for only the third time since leaving it more than five years ago.

It was the same. I parked where I always used to park, walked up the same steps, past the labs where I spent many nights working on code while listening to the White Album.

But it was different. People looked much younger than I recall.

Often I think of the beautiful town
That is seated by the sea;
Often in thought go up and down
The pleasant streets of that dear old town,
And my youth comes back to me..” #

Though “beautiful” and “pleasant” are probably overstatements. I’ve been back there too, about three times since leaving it nine years ago.

We can never go back to Manderley again. #

You can go back to a place, but you really miss the time.

For all the people who read this blog, here’s some additional information:

• You can add the blog to your RSS feed reader like Google Reader, My Yahoo, Bloglines or others. If you don’t use RSS readers, you should—it brings updates from all the sites you like to you, instead of having to go out and see if they’ve updated. I recommend Google Reader.


• You can subscribe to this blog by email. No spam, I promise.


• I’m fairly active on Twitter, so you can follow my more live, off-the-cuff and short updates there.


• I write about Star Wars stuff on my Star Wars site and techie/geeky/wonky stuff on my other blog. Neither is updated as often as this one, but both have RSS feeds so the updates can come to you.

Enjoy and thanks for reading! Leave a comment once in a while, so I know who is reading.

Just put up our Christmas tree. These guys are hanging out in it:

More at my Star Wars site.
