It also means that if I want to come to my blog (which is a trip that is getting less frequent with every passing year), and I type in "The Iota Quota", it doesn't come up with the website link, but with an array of not very useful blog ranking sites, or very old mentions on other people's blogs, and so that's an extra few more seconds while I remember it's just quicker to start typing in the URL instead (yes, I know I could set up bookmarks and shortcuts and all those jazzy things, but... this is my way, these are my routines, leave me alone).
The point of why I'm telling you this background (are you still here?), is that this morning, I forgot not to bother with Norton, typed in "The Iota Quota" and it came up with a new thing. As usual, it ignored the obvious and didn't come up with a link to the blog address, but in a rather interesting tangent, high up the page was a list of what Iota rhymes with, and a link to a site called Rhyme Brain. This is what it said:
rota proto
Rota seemed a good start, proto less good (doesn't rhyme). I rather liked "anecdota" - yes, I'd like my blog to be considered full of anecdota (though don't we say "anecdotes"?). But "scrota"? Oh no. Is that the best Rhyme Brain could come up with?
Now, I don't usually blog about politics, but I will tell you this. I am an undecided vota. It all seems such a midden (to use a good Scots word). I can't get behind any of the main three parties, because ideologically they all seem to be going round in circles saying the same sorts of things and it all feels uninspiring. But I don't want to vote for any of the smaller parties because that seems a bit pointless. What to do?
