Gone For Now

My apologies for not keeping up this blog but I simply have not had the time and to be honest Google Blogger is winding me up.

I like Google and use several of their applications but what really gets my goat is their assumption that because I am located in Turkey I want all their pages in Turkish, if I wanted that I would log into google.com.tr (Turkish) but alas the bright sparks at Google don't see it like that, instead they trace my IP address location and automatically re-direct me. This only occurs when I clean my browsers cache which deletes the cookie's they install on my computer but it is bloody annoying nonetheless.

Google please take note - I know what language I use, I don't need your help in that department.

Also Google Blogger and some other Google applications are often difficult or impossible to access from my location, this is not Google's fault but the shite ADSL service provided by TTNet. Sometimes it's like wading through treacle.

I have registered a blog with WordPress which doesn't treat me like an imbecile and downloads better in Akbuk. I still don't have the time yet to regularly add new posts on either blog because my website keeps me pretty busy, but readers are very welcome to comment on any of the existing threads.

Thanks for reading and thanks to all who have posted comments.
