I have been keeping a track of advertising on Head Rambles.
Just out of interest, I plotted earnings against the ISEQ Index of Irish shares over the same period.
Quite a remarkable correlation?
The only problem is that as shares fall, advertising rises.
Shares are rising.
I just hope the correlation doesn’t hold true for too long?

What do Google know that we don’t?
Is the world going to end on the 31st December?
Why are they giving us a countdown?
Go into Google homepage and click on ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ (without anything in the search box).
You’ll see what I mean.
Hmmmm.

Having tried several anti-virus packages over the years, I have settled with Avast!. It normally sits on my taskbar quietly monitoring things and I generally forget about it. The only time I remember it’s there is when I do a complete scan, or when it makes me jump with a loud advice that it has just updated itself.
Every couple of months, a banner flashes at the bottom of the screen to warn me that an infected mail has arrived. Sirens blare, and I have the opportunity to delete the mail, which I do.
Yesterday, it went off twice, which is very unusual. Normally I could expect five or six alerts in a full year, so two in one day was exceptional.
So far today, I have had nine infected mails. Yes – nine.
Is there a new flood of the damn things on the Internet?
Or have I just been chosen as the lucky recipient of this month’s batch?
