i swear its me but either im living less hours then the rest of the world or you guys only need 2 hours sleep. blogging- i just dont get it. why would someone want to write a journal online? and where would they have the time to do it. with work and living.
maybe i need to reorganise. but i cant be arsed.
blogs are the single most boring concept in the world to date. Nobody who has time to write blogs has time to do anything interesting to write in blogs
Some people want to share thoughts with other people and probably have a job that requires a computer or work at a place where a computer is present. Not saying that blogging during company time is smart but ehhh, it happens all the time. Blogging is not that far away from posting on threads anyway.
Its funny cos its true...Quote:

18th November
Today wasn't like any other my feline friend visited me from a yonder and after many mental pseudo intellectual debates I fed him with the breakfast of champions

and im sure these sort of people believe they are read by millions as well.
Phaty, you almost have it right ... almost
People here dont wake up , we just .. are always there you know ...
Always there .. watching
watching ...
...
*passes out and falls asleep*
thats cool.....i like to watch :mrpimp:
Totally agree... but one thing thats worse... these stupid whereareyounow/myplace type sites that no one really gives a crap about... and yet they email me about 10,00000 a day telling me that some "friend" wants me to join them.Quote:

I keep adding all these emails to spam lists, in the hope they'll automatically be blocked one day!
Haha mark, you get those too eh?
Yea, half the people I get those from I seriosly dont even know who. Seems like every month that goes by, some 'company' has found some ingenious way for everyone to stay in touch ...
Makes me wonder if the people who make those sites ever had friends :S

I would just like to ironically report that at this very moment I have just recieved an email for one of those WAYN things - where are you now?
Funny thing is, Im where I always am, so why did they ask me!?
*sheesh*
meh. the FEC (federal election committee) has made it official... bloggers are journalist. so take that!Quote:

i keep updating my blog for two reasons: 1) it's part of my 'learn to write better by writing more' strategy, and 2) i'm basically archiving some old stuff for friends (my darkroom skate photos, and soon music from the bands we were all in). my blog is not a diary - the closest i come to that is the reviews of stuff i use. i don't think anyone cares, but it gives me something write about.
oh, and reason #3 is because i'm learning about server-side stuff, mySQL/PHP/Etc, and my 'blog project' is a vehicle for that - even though i'm just modifying stuff, it's a start.
be careful with your absolutes swampy and marcus...only a sith deals in absolutes :)
ther are two of us
phaty, we type and read faster on account of not being Dyslexic. so basicly stop being Dyslexic and you will have time to post and/or blog your heart away
wow. just wow.Quote:

The other blog is for perverts who like pretty girls. Basically I maintain that one for traffic. Some day, one of my blogs will make 1000 dollars a day :)
I love my blog.
Time shifts in and out right now I'm out of time to actually write.
People actually read my blog. I got a job because of my blog.
My blog is a great way to store my responses from help threads.
Meaning I don't have to start from scratch responding from the same
post over and over. It doubles as a tute area.
My blog is recieved well by those who visit. I enjoy well written blogs by others It's a wonderful way to vent my opinions about issues that concern both myself and my readers.
Blogging requires effort moreso then simply replying to a post.
Blog articles are permanent. Unlike threads which can be buried deep never
to be seen from again.
Blogging is a wonderful way to develop/sharpen ones writing skills.
I just wish I could have recovered all my aricles from my old portal/cms
so they would have been preserved in my blog.

Frets feed was one of the defaults while I was building it (still is for the opensource) so I'm a big fan of his feed. Granted there are a ton of bogus blogs or better off not being blog blogs but places like Moock, Chambers, Skinner and others always have something worth reading in theirs. I guess blogging is like anything else...you either like it or hate it.
jeesh, how about some links people...
are you going to make me dig through the help forums :)
