More neoblogisms

This time the topic is ...the web:

Webserver - one who observes ...the web
The Webserver - a web-based edition of The Observer newspaper
Webservant - a staff member retained to watch out for news on the web
Webservatory - where one observes or conserves the web
Webservative - a member of the Webservative Party
Webster - a web professional, like a web site designer
Webstern - a webster who lives on the Pacific Coast
Webber - a famous composer and carburetter; nothing to do with the WWW
Webbly - "throwing a ~ " when you get angry at the web

Linux for the WWW

What made Linux so successful as an Operating System for the web? Well, Linus (the penguin) has webbed feet...
This profound observation solves the mystery that has puzzled many an IT industry analyst in the last five years. They had all failed to make the connection between webbed feet and web servers; something that had not escaped the attention of savvy computer scientists.

Aquae Sulis - that's Bath to you

Working towntown Bath for a couple of weeks has been detrimental to my finances. The temptation of shopping finally exceeded my natural tightfistedness [is there such a word?] and made me think: when am I going to spend some money on myself? When my kids have spent it all and I no longer have it? Bugger that! So I bought a few things but stopped short of making Paul Smith and Justin richer. I'm not due back there on a project any time soon but something tells me that my next weekend break may be somewhere very close by ;-)

Even more neoblogisms

I saw a site with neoblogisms, all about blogs. I added some which I reproduce here.
Blogfanity - none should be allowed
Blogophony - in blogs containing voice clips
Blogometry - blogal geometry
Blogalisation - worldwide (blogal) expansion
Blogger's muddle - a bugger's muddle affecting bloggers
Philoblogy - the study of blog literature
Blog roll - blog material fit for toilet use
