The Ramblings of Guise Dugal

Ok, so perhaps I cheated to get the last two blogs I really wanted to get up done in time and went the way of vlogging instead. I still won and got everything I wanted out. Really the only things left were talking about communication and blogging while ‘on the road’ and about carry-on luggage, [...]

It seems all that tends to get written about here at the moment is “Where has Guise been and what’s stopped him from updating”, wherein he fobs you off explains a rather poor reason why nobody sees him about for ages until he posts another apology.
This failure to act responsibly is shameful, how anyone [...]

Just thought I’d prattle off some filler-ific thoughts that have come up recently.
Halloween 2008 Site
There is now a page laid out for the Halloween Countdown 2008. Whereas all entries will appear on the blog, alongside any entries unrelated to Halloween, I thought it prudent to put a section up to dedicate to it.

I’ve put this to a couple of my fellow bloggers and friends already, but thought this might be a fun concept to get as many people involved in as possible.
The Halloween season sees a lot of our favourite characters and creatures coming out to play, and for a short time we get to revel in [...]

Ok folks, I’ll level with you, I’ve been a bad blogger over the summer months – and not in the ‘ooer, naughty’ way, well not that much in that way – but I’ve been very remiss in writing much and let things slip. Part of this was working a new job – of which I [...]

I pulled a Dark All-Knighter last night. What is a Dark All-Knighter? Well, that is where someone spurred on by the pure joy of seeing The Dark Knight before they’ve even watched it, books to have the day following viewing off work and intends not to sleep but to blow an entire night in furious [...]

Some of you may have noticed that the blog has been falling on its arse lately, returning error messages when loading or just plain failing to load at all. Apparently there have been ‘technical issues’ on one of the servers that my webhost uses and I just happen to be sat on that server.
As a [...]

I have a confession to make, I am a stalker and I have been keeping a sly eye over your statistics for some time now. It started off as a casual interest, but slowly became a matter of some deep interest within me. I was intrigued by your figure and couldn’t help but return to [...]

I thought it would be interesting to look at the things I learnt and how things developed during my multitude of Easter posts, mainly in explanation, apology and to avoid having to write about chocolate again. Hopefully, this may be of insight in to how my mind works and might be a slight muse to someone [...]

“Ugh,” thought the young Easter Bunny as he snuck through the untidy flat of a rather cheap blogger, “why can the ones without their own gardens at least put up a flower box outside to make this job easier.”Muttering and twitching his nose, he crept in to the bloggers bedroom and scanned around for a [...]

Well, the internal debate pretty much came to a head yesterday. I really didn’t want to get in to self-censoring, because once I start down that road I’ll become increasingly paranoid about everything I write. I didn’t want to make the blog private just on the off-chance of something NSFW, because I love you guys [...]

Just before the New Year began I decided that I wanted to get back in to writing. It seemed to me that in 2007, as compared to the previous few years, I had lost a lot of the motivation and ability to write in either quality or quantity, most of my writing had become overly technical [...]
