…to Dry the Rain, the new weblog run by a guy with another weblog.

The emergency exits are here, here and here. Please take time to familiarize your self with the nearest exit, bearing in mind that it may be behind you.

I’d like to post the answers to a couple of common questions before you get chance to ask them.

1) Why Dry the Rain?

Well I was after a name that didn’t mean an awful lot to the rest of the world but meant a lot to me and so settled on the title of one of my favorite songs of all time ever. Dry the Rain is the first track from the 3 EPs by the Beta Band. If you’ve watched Hi-Fidelity then you’ve already heard it and have seen just how good some people think it is. Moving from an understated, country-esque opening the song builds and builds to a surging climax, complete with mournful, vocal harmonies and muted yet triumphant horn section.

2) Where’s your blogroll and why aren’t I on it yet?

The blogroll is coming … jeez … and you may well be on it but only if I read your site. I’m also trying to work out how best to sort the ‘roll. It will be up in about a week.

3) Nice design!

Thanks!

4) Did you do it yourself?

Nope… I will be but wanted to get something up and running first so I borrowed it from brokenkode.com, hence the credit in to footer.

5) Where’s the sidebar stuff?

Again it’s coming. Look if I’d known I was having visitors I would have spruced the place up a bit.

6) I posted a comment / track-back and it hasn’t shown up? WTF?

This site is running a serious quantity of anti spam software (not least of which being Spam Karma) and as such may, occasionally, once in a while, give a false positive. I do review the spam though and it will show up eventually. If you’re getting real problems then please email me. Unless you’re trying to post helpful links to Internet Poker sites in which case you can bite me!

7) I hate your site and I hate you!

Well that’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it. Now don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out…

Any more questions? The comment box is right there.
