News, Views and Just Plain Schmooze...

Wednesday 5 May 2010

A few announcements this time, some good, and another is not-so-good... First of all, Paper or Plastic? has now reached FIVE THOUSAND VISITS! Thanks to everyone who stops by to take a look at the comic!

Speaking of which, there is now only one state of the USA left which hasn't sent a visitor to the site: New Mexico! Further afield, another country from the African continent has paid PoP a visit: Ghana! So the total number of countries has crept up again, to 77!

Now for the not-so-good news... my beloved computer is unwell :( Hopefully, a friend of mine is going to take a look at it if he can (I asked nicely and everything). Since I don't make any money from this comic, and I'm not getting many hours at work (gotta love retail...), it's possible that if the PC dies, the comic will be going on a LONG hiatus. I'll keep you posted as I know more... but keep your fingers crossed (at least mentally)!

As the number of visits approaches 4,900, I can announce that Portugal is the 76th country to visit the site :)

Monday 19 April 2010

Hmm, seems I'm having trouble knowing what day it is... The news entry for April 14 was given as Monday! Shame on me! It should be all OK now :)

First of all, I'd like to wish my brother Patrick Johnson a happy birthday!

The number of countries has climbed again (at last) to 75, but I'm a bit nervous about announcing which one it is... You see, for quite a while, there's been a naming dispute over this country since 1991, and I have no desire to cause offence to citizens of any of the countries involved. So, I'm going to use the designation given by Google Analytics - therefore, if you don't like it, it's their fault, not mine! The country in question is listed as "Macedonia [FYROM]", and you can find out more (including what "FYROM" stands for) by clicking the link earlier in this paragraph.
