Ooh, those are delicious!
Posted 18 Nov 2008
A bit of house-keeping here: A few months ago we created ourselves a delicious account for chickenmonkeydog blog. So, we wanted to flag this up to our readership and suggest that you check out our recommendations.
Go on. Check ‘em out. You’ll be happy you did. We promise.
We’re not saying your words are demonic, but …

We passed a milestone this week in our online conversations with you. And when we logged into the admin section of chickenmonkeydog on Monday, we were shocked to find the following statistic:
Fortunately, this isn’t a religious blog or we would really be worried.
P.S. As we are a wee bit suspicious (especially after our worrying incident at the bus stop), could you please add more comments so we can move on from this ominous number. Yes, this is a direct plea for comments. Any comments. All comments. Comments please!
Online brilliance
Posted 29 Aug 2008
Blog, People | 9 Comments
Recently, the Quirky Indian flattered chickenmonkeydog by naming our little site as ‘brilliant’. Given the quality of the Quirky Indian’s own work, we were honoured by his praise and, given that our web traffic has increased since then, are very grateful for it.
With that in mind, we wanted to share (in random order) some of our favourite blogs with you:
Chup-chap
Great blog written by a guy living in Bangalore and working for a newspaper. We stumbled upon this blog through the Quirky Indian, but we now check into Chup-chap’s blog on a regular basis.
OhGizmo!
A blog updated with around five posts a day, illuminating interesting (if nothing else) gadgets and devices that people have created. Some are for production and others are just artwork or prototypes. People make some pretty whacky stuff sometimes!
Jan Chipchase
A blog by a Nokia researcher who is looking at trends and trying to predict where Nokia products should be in 3 - 15 years. This site is a non-professional blog, so it just has some interesting photos and comments about details of daily life.
Savage Chickens
A little blog updated daily with a random comic featuring chickens as the characters. Always good for a laugh or a chuckle.
The Rut
Great sketches about all sorts of random stuff. Very funny indeed.
Mr Bacon Pants
It’s about bacon. Enough said.
Quirky Japan Blog
A Canadian fellow living in Japan since 1993 takes photos of and comments on a variety of aspects of Japanese culture and life.
Hey readers, we’re not expecting many comments on this post, so if you wanted to leave one, please do let us know which of our selections that you liked … and tell us about some of your favourites!
RSS stuff via Feedburner
Posted 22 Aug 2008
A good day to all you chickenmonkeydoggers who are slick enough to follow us via RSS. We’ve a little favour to ask of you.
Back when we started this little blog, we had only the vaguest clue about the various technologies involved in blogging. We’ve learned a lot in the last few months and continue to roll-out various tech updates and improvements as and when a need develops.
Recently, we set ourselves up with a Feedburner account, so that we can manage our RSS subscriptions more efficiently. We realise that many of you who follow us via RSS have been doing so since before we opened our Feedburner account. So, we’d like to now ask you to update your RSS readers with our new Feedburner-managed RSS feed. (Boy, the last part of that sentence was a mouthful!)
Here is the URL for our new RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/chickenmonkeydog
Server upgrade notice
Posted 24 Jul 2008
Dear Gentle Readers:
Tomorrow morning, 25 July 2008, we will be conducting some upgrades to the server that hosts chickenmonkeydog . The upgrades are likely to take place between 8.00 am and 10.00 am Greenwich Mean Time, and should last only an hour or two. In all likelihood, you won’t even notice a difference in the performance of our website during the upgrade process, but on the chance that something falters along the way, we wanted to let you know in advance.
Thanks for your continued support of chickenmonkeydog.
