I’m John Coxon, and this is my website, which contains random tidbits on a variety of things that I find interesting and in which a select few other people might share an interest! I also maintain a copy of my old website, which was made using terrible HTML, poorly chosen background images, and Comic Sans MS.
Several people have asked me from where the moniker “Chickens in Envelopes” came, and the answer to that is a particularly random conversation with my half-brother, once, in which we decided that chickens tasted better in envelopes. It’s true, especially with a nice postage stamp sauce. (Aren’t you glad, now you know?)
I post and maintain pages on quite a few slices of the Internet, so if you want to find out where those slices are located, just have a quick peek at the list of links below, which should take you to the appropriate places. The top four pages are listed in order of use, and the rest are listed alphabetically.
- Twitter – if I said I didn’t check Twitter regularly, I’d be a filthy liar. I use Tweetie on both my Mac and my iPhone to keep track of what friends and interesting people are doing, pretty much 24/7. Twitter is, by far, the social networking service I use the most.
- Facebook – who isn’t on Facebook these days? I use it mostly to keep track of my calendar and photographs of myself, because I’m vain like that!
- LiveJournal – I’m a science fiction geek, and as such, I too have my very own LiveJournal. It’s default behaviour for any SF fan!
- The Leicester Sabres’ Forum – this is where the Leicester Sabres Game Society relax, kick back and talk about games and other stuff online. It’s also the main news source for members of the society.
- ~afda – my profile on the alt.fan.douglas-adams website.
- Amazon.co.uk – a wishlist of things that I would like to own one day, put here to see if anyone’s stupid enough to buy me any of it.
- eFanzines.com – a collection of downloads of my fanzine, Procrastinations, which I started writing in 2006.
- Flickr – an underused website that I have put some photographs on, and which I have mostly ignored for several years. The iPhone uploader might encourage more use, but it hasn’t had much effect yet!
- GameKnot – where you come if you fancy a game of chess.
- h2g2 – Douglas Adams started this online encyclopaedia which is now maintained by the BBC, and it’s nowhere near as good as Wikipedia, but I had an account there anyway.
- Last.fm – if you want to truly comprehend how weird my taste in music can be, check out the list of my most played artists!
- MySpace – I never, ever check this. Just so you know.
- Wikipedia – another page I very rarely update. I stopped editing Wikipedia when it became apparent that it was an exercise in frustration and uselessness.
- Yahoo! Profiles – I update this roughly once a year, and it’s only in this list so that I don’t forget it exists.
