Random burblings since 1999
We have two digital handsets at home.
They are made (as says the sticker on the box) by Ascom.
Ascom’s website is here: www.ascom.com.
Their support website for handsets (terminals), taken from the handset User Guide, is here: www.ascom.com/terminals.
If I told you that Light Emitting Polymer will be the next ‘cool’ gadget to have (quotes around cool in case you don’t think gadgets are, by definition, cool. Of course no-one like that actually exists so I guess it’s a bit defunct, anyway I digress…) you’d probably tell me I was mad..
I say, Ohhh reeeallly…..
OK last post for tonight, some search referrers:
I appear 3rd on Google if you search for “naked chicks with no payment needed” .
159th if you search on Yahoo for “Lynda Bellingham” – the question now being, did that person click on ALL 159 links?
I, again, appear 3rd on Google for the search of “Scruples Dumbarton“, where I will be dining on Friday night. Very spooky (as Mother would say).
And I’m not even gonna bother with the rather repetitive “Kylie’s bum pics” or “Women kicking men in the nuts” searches, surely they’ve realised by now that they ain’t gonna find either here… ehhh except the first one of course.
“1. To write or draw in a hasty or illegible manner.
2. to make meaningless or illegible marks (on)
3. Derog. or facetious. to write poetry, novels, etc.
4. hasty careless writing or drawing.
5 meaningless or illegible marks.
Believe it or not, and judging by the casual way I throw punctuation around on here I wouldn’t choose to believe me either, my job requires a high degree of accuracy when it comes to punctuation and grammar et al. I’ve just been going over our internal Writing Style guidelines, and doing a little research.
As ever I started with my favourite book on style and, as ever, the paragraph below is the one that is stuck in my head. This was a man ahead of his time:
A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid detail and treat his subject only in outline, but that every word tell.
