				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just noticed an incoming link to my site coming from a <a href="http://www.gringod.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5qb2hudmV5LmNvbS9ibG9nLzIwMDcvMTIvdGhlLWJlc3QtcGFnZS1pbi10aGUtdW5pdmVyc2U%3D&#038;feed-stats-url-post-id=625">blog post</a> over at <a href="http://www.gringod.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5qb2hudmV5LmNvbQ%3D%3D&#038;feed-stats-url-post-id=625">johnvey.com</a>.&nbsp; In the post the author discusses how he came upon moniker of &#8220;Purveyor of Fine Words&#8221;. The post appears to have come about after a discussion with a mystical <em>C.M.</em></p>
<p>One of the points he makes in his post is regarding the prevalent use of self-deprecating monikers that blog authors use and&nbsp; cites my use of Randomised Nonsense:</p>
<blockquote><p>Well, I chose the tagline â€˜purveyor of fine wordsâ€™ as a response to the typical self-deprecating blog name that is so common these days â€” ones that mix and match words like â€˜ramblingâ€™, â€˜thoughtsâ€™, â€˜randomâ€™, â€˜drivelâ€™, â€˜brain fartsâ€™. I subscribe to one blog that is titled, â€œ<a href="http://www.gringod.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cDovL2FsZXguZG9qb3Rvb2xraXQub3JnLw%3D%3D&#038;feed-stats-url-post-id=625">Continuing Intermittent Incoherency</a>â€œ, which sounds like the author picked up some kind of Mad-Lib for blog names for inspiration. â€œ<a href="http://www.gringod.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5ncmluZ29kLmNvbS8%3D&#038;feed-stats-url-post-id=625">Randomised nonsense</a>â€? and â€œ<a href="http://www.gringod.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cDovL3NlY3VsYXJza2VwdGljLmJsb2dzcG90LmNvbS8%3D&#038;feed-stats-url-post-id=625">The Solipsistic Sayings of a Random Infidel</a>â€? also seem to have been derived from the same template.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This has got me thinking about whether I should change my blogs moniker.&nbsp; I started using Randomised Nonsense back in 2000/1. At the time I was really posting about anything and everything and really was random and mostly nonsense to readers other than myself.</p>
<p>However, in recent times I have tried to make my postings more logical and with a purpose, although they do still cover a wide range of topics such as local events, photography, programming and bell ringing.&nbsp; I feel that a change of moniker is called for and, having read the article on <a href="http://www.gringod.com/?feed-stats-url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5qb2hudmV5LmNvbQ%3D%3D&#038;feed-stats-url-post-id=625">Johnvey.com</a> I can see that I will have to think about this carefully.&nbsp; It needs to be something positive and inspirational, something to capture the self improvement that I am aiming to achieve.</p>
