As I travelled from California to Colorado on Monday, this site turned one year old.

Yes a whole year of observation, ranting, humour and appeals for sanity.

2002 was, without doubt a pretty awful year for me, what with unemployment, immigration issues and various other traumas. Throughout it, I tried darn hard to keep at least a couple of you entertained.

2003 is looking like it might be a whole lot better, but don't go thinking that I'm going to turn all "fluffy-bunny" about the world. You can take the git out of misery, but you can't take the misery out of the git.

As I write, Rutger, the self-appointed Senior Vice-President Of Pets has leapt up on the chair, and is currently sat next to me, supervising this article.

He's suggesting that DMfM has more articles of interest to him. So far his suggestions include:

"How to Sleep 18 Hours A Day"
"Catnip As A Way To Enlightenment"
"Rub My Belly Now, Puny Human"
"How to Let Them Know You're Annoyed Through The Medium Of Urine"

Anyone who's ever moved house with a cat, will relate to the last one.

As promised, at some point, I'll be expanding the pages here, to include various useful and/or entertaining new sections. One of these is a guide, another might be an image gallery.

And don't go thinking that the switch to Moveable Type isn't going to happen. I'm just struggling with getting some of it configured.

Anyway, that's the plan. I think you're still getting value for money, so quit whining.

Do all keep in touch. I love to get feedback either via comments or via the "webmaster_AT_dialmformax.com" address.

(hint: replace "_AT_" with an @).
