Aquarionics

Apparently the owners of this house had been seeing images and hearing
voices for quite a while.
They did some research and found that a lady once lived in the house who
lost her husband during the civil war. Legend says that she used to sit at
the table and look across the fields in anticipation of her loved one
returning home. He never came back.

They say she still waits. They caught this photo (using digital imaging and
sound) of what they claim to be her.

This one is wild and a little spooky once you find the ghost in the picture.
It took me about 20 seconds to find it, but when you do, it just stands out
like one of those optical illusions.

To save you some time, concentrate around the table and sort of towards the
window. Also, if you have volume, turn it as loud as possible and you can
hear some faint murmurings which they say is the ghost talking.

Happy Halloween, world. As well as this temporary new theme, there was supposed to be a new story up today, but last night I spent three hours trying to fix our server, so it didn’t happen. Gah

Sarabian has replied to my previous rant. My issue is with the phrase

I think comments are losing their purpose as the weblogging world progresses, using tools such as referrers, pingbacks and trackbacks.

Of which I saw the implication as “comments are being, and should be, replaced by backlinks”, if that isn’t what he intended to say, then I aplogise for aiming my rant at him. The point is, somewhere buried in the text, that I’m not talking to webloggers, not primarily, nor even mostly. Most of the people who come here do not have a weblog of any kind, although some have a livejournal or something, but not a medium where they respond to such things, and so saying the above is roughly saying “You can’t talk to me if you arn’t in my gang”. ie, the gang of people with the time and inclination to write weblogs.

Finally, and possibly more importantly, people are far more likely to use comments than email.
