The Fool on the Hill: Hit the ground running
http://weldondiary.blogspot.com/2010/06/hit-ground-running.html
The Fool on the Hill. Saturday, June 12, 2010. Hit the ground running. In the last three months I have bought myself, via my ebay dealings, into a commanding position in the technological miracles of 2005. I have acquired a pair of pocket PCs, Dell Axim X51v's - the Vee being all about the VGAness of the units. Imagine that, VGA - say it slowly, Video Graphics Array. Exciting new, old technology. Liverpool boy living in Canada, lots of memories of family, work and play. View my complete profile.

The Fool on the Hill: May 2010

The Fool on the Hill. Wednesday, May 5, 2010. In this ever decreasing circular world of social websites I feel as though photoshop and hiding behind caricatures and avatars is becoming more and more important, especially as I age and the hair grows back in, here is the eggplant version of the author, I notice that this is the first entry for 2010 - must be all those other blogs that are keeping me busy.

The Fool on the Hill: Château de Chasselas
http://weldondiary.blogspot.com/2010/06/chateau-de-chasselas.html
The Fool on the Hill. Sunday, June 20, 2010. I think I'm becoming quite bored with the old interweb, although slick and sometimes not so slick websites are trying their darndest to interest me with embedded advertising. The Monty Python four Yorkeshiremen sketch comes to mind as I think back about the beginnings of my own web experience, the dial-up Q-Link on my Commodore 64 with a 1200 baud modem (that be four times as fast as a 300 baud) - "Luxury! And "You were Lucky" as the only source for my online ...

The Magnet: October 2012
http://daveweldon.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 25, 2012. Looking back, it may have been that year that caused the pair of us to pivot, a start to the sprinklings of thoughts about what we should be doing with money. I suspect it still was two years off at this point, but the man with all the gold and the cigars certainly made a couple of bottom feeders like ourselves realise that we were not in control of our money. But, added "stupid taxes" at the end did little to surpress our joy at destroying that second mortgage. It was back in...

The Magnet: Timeslip
http://daveweldon.blogspot.com/2015/04/timeslip.html
Sunday, April 12, 2015. The timeline, always a constant, and I think we're around 1993 in the proceedings. I would recount everything that happened in 1992, but that was a tragic year for my family, the year that my youngest brother, Paul, was killed. In the next few entries though, I will recount the other events, because they too deserve to be told. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Fool on the Hill. The Taxi Drivers Son.

The Magnet: February 2013
http://daveweldon.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 26, 2013. One of the things I realize as this blog and my story progresses is that the web is a very public place, so in some respects, as I name people in future entries, context will be important, knowing that some are very sensitive to criticism or have been rightly labelled by myself as psychopaths or sociopaths. You know, a selection of the darker side of the population that we all end up working with. Right, with that disclaimer out of the way, I can continue with this diatribe.

The Magnet: December 2013
http://daveweldon.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 27, 2013. I realize that I wasn't a job shopper long enough, it wasn't even a year at Menasco and I really did not learn anything about being a contractor, well, maybe a bit, but mostly, my mindset was still very much that of a permie. Permie, is that the right spelling? Perhaps it was, it was usually followed by wanker, for the full effect of the insult from the jobshoppeur, so my short tenure as a jobshopper was followed by a longer period of time as a PW. Yet, I persisted. I had the r...

The Magnet: I did not realise at the time....
http://daveweldon.blogspot.com/2015/05/i-did-not-realise-at-time.html
Monday, May 11, 2015. I did not realise at the time. It seems that a lot of my time is spent here in the present, reflecting about the past and wondering what would have been different if I had done something in a different way and how things may have turned out or how people would have been affected. That being said, I regret not writing down what was happening in 1992 and '93 and I did not realise at the time how important it all was. We had talked on the phone a few weeks before and Paul had mentioned...
