A blip in the blog
Posted 29 Feb 2008
Apologies to our devoted and dedicated readers for the technical issues we were experiencing yesterday. We are sorry that you were not able to get your daily fix of quirkiness or whatever it is that you get when you come to visit chickenmonkeydog.
Please be advised that our technical director (possibly Conall?) was completely responsible for the downtime. Our technical director only has half a clue of how to manage IT stuff.
That said, all of us here at chickenmonkeydog are glad to be back online, bringing our own brand of quirkiness to the world, one click at a time.
Jerald Mathis must not read chickenmonkeydog
Posted 24 Feb 2008
I got an email the other day that made it very clear to me that Jerald Mathis - whoever he is - doesn’t read our blog. And I was hurt! Don’t spammers read my every word? They certainly send me enough of there rubbish. The least they can do is read some of mine.
Here’s Jerald’s email offering me replica Rolex Swiss watches:
Doesn’t Jerald know that I already have a very nice watch! Geez! I’ve had my watch since 03 January and I am still its proud owner.
chickenmonkey dog or chicken monkey dog?

So you’re wondering, it is chickenmonkeydog or chicken monkey dog? Does it matter? If you’re one of those people for whom it does matter, then here is your answer: We haven’t decided.
Conall was leaning towards the three word versions, whilst Liam thought a single run-on word looked better. We talked about it. We chatted over IM. We emailed back and forth. We even spoke about it on the phone. One word. Three words. Hyphens. No hyphens. Definitely no hyphens, we agreed. Chicken monkey dog? Chicken Monkey Dog? chickenmonkeydog? chickenmonkeydog? We could go on and on, but you are probably getting the point here.
In the end, we decided to leave it for now. No preference. All are acceptable. Over time we’ll likely find ourselves using one style or another most regularly, and stick with it, but for now anything is game. If we feel differently in the future, we’ll keep you posted.
