• Just in case you got confused yesterday, Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that deals in the stuff that isn’t physical or natural, that transcends the obvious stuff that we can see feel and touch. Kind of – beyond the physical. So it’s really about the stuff that only exists in the mind.

    You could say that everything exists in the mind. You are a figment of my imagination therefore you are a mere piece of metaphysical puffery. Unless you know different.

  • I’ve finally managed to move all my domains over to a new ISP. I got so fed up with my old one. They kept slapping on extra fees for nonsense that you get free everywhere else.
    It’s not easy – or rather they make it very difficult to move away from them. You really have to keep your wits about you.

    Any way it’s all done. I visited Class 2 at Clearwell School this morning to talk to them about Ricky Rocket ready for their big Space theme. My website was up on the board, but not working. Having such a spidery site, it’s hard checking it all works, and no one has sent me link failure emails like they used to in the old days.

    Once my site was special because it was the only one out there. No it is just another author site. If it doesn’t work there’ll be another somewhere. Makes you wonder if it is worth all the ridiculous amount of time and effort!


  • Ontology is a branch of metaphysics that studies the nature of being.

    “I’m pink, therefore I’m spam,” is not an ontological statement – unless you are spam!

    Sorry to confuse. I had to look it up because it was in a book I’m reading – It didn’t help me too much either.
