There are a few old posts at weblogs.asp.net that I should repost here for com­plete­ness.

For the last few months, every blog post that I've made has been ac­com­pa­nied by at least one image. Sometimes I already have an ap­pro­pri­ate image. The rest of the time, I use whatever I could find after searching Google Images.

Earlier today, I came across 10 Tips for Google Image Search. I par­tic­u­lar­ly like the Grease­mon­key script which allows you to view the original image by clicking on the thumbnail.

I have two blogs, my personal blog and my technical blog. The technical blog is a small subset of the personal blog containing posts that are more likely to be of interest to the techie audience at weblogs.asp.net.

Lately, the comments in one post at weblogs.asp.net have been repeatedly spammed with sad little gems like the following:

• "not much on my mind right now"
• "I just don't have anything to say , but shrug"
• "I've just been letting everything happen without me"
• "Basically nothing noteworthy happening right now, but eh"
• "My mind is like a void"

If you click the links above, you'll find that I'm not the only one who's getting this treatment. The spams …continue.

I first started blogging at EraBlog in February 2003, during the run-up to the Iraq war. EraBlog never really took off and now seems to be ex­pe­ri­enc­ing technical problems.

I'm reposting all of my original posts. I've cleaned up the links, where possible, and added an image at the top of each one, but have not otherwise modified the posts.

As you can see, Iraq weighed on my mind. And I was fucking right! Going to war was wrong, and even then I (like many others) could see that the case for war was lacking.

I've moved my blog again; this time to my own website. The new link is http://www.georgevreil­ly.com/blog/.

This is my third blog. I've had a technical blog at Weblogs @ ASP.NET for the last year, and a defunct blog at EraBlog for another year.

I've been meaning to set up a blog at my personal website for a while, one that allows me to post about anything that I feel like. Posting about non-technical matters is dis­cour­aged at Weblogs.asp.net.

So here it is. (Assuming I've set it up correctly) I will be cross-posting technical posts to weblogs.asp.net. Other posts will appear here ex­clu­sive­ly.

After several months of not blogging, I've decided to resume. EraBlog was nice while it lasted, but Mike Amundsen hasn't been paying attention to it for a while. I was always frustrated at the lack of con­fig­ura­bil­i­ty, and I hated the hard-coded limit of three posts showing up on the front page.

I've moved to http://weblogs.asp.net/george_v_reil­ly/.

Update: See next post. I've long since moved to GeorgeVReil­ly.com/blog.
