Recently upgraded the blog and it seemed fine came back to see the paths had got messed up. Couldn’t log into the admin section and the page displayed without any css formating. Tried for 20 mins sorting it, in the end did a search for mydomain in mysql and found the correct field. The domain was entered in twice. I think the upgrade messed it up.
Strange thing was it worked after upgrading fine. *shrugs*

One year of having this blog and I missed the date. Well I never intended to post regular. Blogging is best left to the pro bloggers, who make it look so easy.

Been around since 1996 or so I read http://www.usc.edu/dept/matrix/aim/aimv/entries3.htm
whats it about ?
“Mouchette” is the Net-based alter-ego of an anonymous artist whose actual identity is a closely guarded secret. Mouchette is a very young girl (not yet 13) who created her own website in October of 1996. Since then she has constantly expanded her website as she has taken part in numerous exhibitions and events in the artworld. Mouchette holds a very important presence within the NetArt community and has lectured and appeared extensively, and anonymously, in online and offline events and publications.[source http://rhizome.org/thread.rhiz?thread=8411&text=16971]
“Mouchette, if that is her/his real name. It is a masterpiece of art. At first, the page is kind of annoying because all the links are moving around, but when you explore the site it is extraordinary. The author manipulates graphical objects in three different languages (French, English, German) to create a visual puzzle. One of the most unique aspects of this website compare to others is that you can interact with the web. For instance, she makes you find a secret link http://www.mouchette.org/secret/secret.html in an obscure page. To understand this web page one must have a lot of patience to understand its magnificence.
hmm…
Recently, at a public presentation on Net art the Power Plant, a Toronto-based gallery of contemporary art, a middle-aged man came forward as “Mouchette,”the possibly ficitional nymphet who has revealed her inner thoughts and emotions on an eponymous home page. Initially, to keep the allegedly invented Web identity alive, the artist asked a 12 year old girl to pose as Mouchette; the girl, sick with food poisoning, couldn’t attend. So the artist, although he remains anonymous, thus revealed his true self — to a confused audience unwilling to believe that Mouchette isn’t real.
Yeah your right I shouldn’t have bothered blogging.
