Website Discovery

Here's a great site: uboat.net Listings of every U-boat in the Second World War, including their fate and the number of ships they sank. As well, listing of commanders and Allied warships. If only I could get a listing of merchant ships and fates, my data source would be complete. And all without leaving the comfort of my own home! But I'm surprised that their webpage doesn't run off a database. It all seems to be straight html.

I've got to make me one of those pages that everyone wants to visit.

57 hits on the church webpage this week is a record. Thanks to Easter, no doubt.

Too early on a Good Friday

6:22 AM. Awake at 4:30 AM and couldn't get back to sleep. Tried but no luck. Good thing it's a holiday today. That means I could probably squeeze a nap in this afternoon.

The week was very disjointed. Sick on Monday. Worked like crazy on Tuesday. Funeral on Wednesday. Worked on Thursday. And today off. All at the busiest time of year.

My life is pretty fine, these days except for a) work not always being the most satisfying (why am I always so restless?) and b) a tad bit more money would be nice. In the grand scheme of things, that's not too bad.

My inspiration for blogging

Well, if the "mother" of my son can do it, than so can I. Visit Caitie's blog.
(That makes me Hector, by the way.)

U2 in the neighbourhood . . . sort of

U2 is coming ot Toronto in September and Ottawa in November. If I can't make it either of these concerts I'll probaably never be able to see them. $50 minimum just ofr the cheap seats. Up to $125. The Dutchman in me has a hard time with this. Tickets go on sale next week Saturday. I'll definitely have to try to get tickets.

Believe it or not, Bono almost was going to come to Peterborough to speak at some Evangelical Christian gathering but then the organizers decided not to invite him because he might swear. Seems they've missed the point - or made the point that they're more concerned about his language than people dying on the other side of the globe.

And yet we think of nothing spending $50 for a two or three hour concert.

First Musing

I thought I'd have a stab at this.
