I am afraid there will be a dearth of new posts on Elitistreview over the next couple of weeks or so. On Tuesday I was on my way to A La Cruz for lunch and was suddenly consumed with incredible pain. I made it into the nearest hospital and was told I had extremely severe [...]
The new design for Elitistreview has been live for a few weeks; I hope my regular readers have got over the shock of change and are finding it an improvement. Whether you do or not, I’d like to ask anyone who has a view to let me know what it is. The voting box below [...]
Elitistreview is five years old today, hooray! Five years of opinion, rants and general lunacy. There have been some difficult times, very difficult times, but one hell of a lot of hilarious larks and screamingly laugh-tastic benders. I hope those who have followed me on this roller-coaster ride of wildly fluctuating sanity and general informed [...]
As you can see, Elitistreview has had an over-haul. The aim has been to help you, my dear readers, navigate the site and find posts of interest more easily whilst minimising the vast swathes of stark text my old sites suffered from. Many people have asked for my three blogs to be accessible in one [...]
I’m sorry the posts have dried up this month; I am trying to shed some lard and necking bottles of wine followed by huge restaurant meals is not the way to achieve this. At least I am losing weight (see the graph of my weight loss below, scale in kilograms). I will try and rave [...]
I doubt many people have noticed it, but on the right-hand side of each Elitist Review page, just under the photoblog widget, is a search box. Until about ten minutes ago there was practically no point in using this; the way my blog software implemented searching was just laughably poor. As I always strive to [...]
Today I was supposed to be meeting people for lunch at the brilliant pizza establishment which would have been, no doubt followed by some reports on quality beer from a decent drinking venue. However, on Monday morning I developed a cold of such impressive nastiness that it resulted in me spending the last 34 hours [...]
Today two unconnected people suggested that I should be using Twitter, and it has been mentioned by many people in the past. So I have followed their advice and signed up; I must now only be a couple of years behind the curve. My Twitter address is http://twitter.com/elitistreview . You can see my latest tweets [...]
Normally at this time of year I’d be bragging about how vaguely popular Elitist Review is and indulge in some stat-porn. However, I changed hosting providers in March and the new hosting company lacks the brilliant AWStats that kept telling me how many kind readers dropped by. With the less good webstats software I now [...]
My old photoblog at whatinterests.davidstrange.net was all very nice, but sub-optimal in many ways. Also, the webcam software for my phone stopped working after a ROM upgrade… Rising up to replace that site is the Elitist Review Photoblog hosted by that kind chap Mr Flickr. I can upload pictures from my phone, tag them and [...]
