You know, most people use their blogs for two things: (1) pretending that writing in their blog will change the policies of the United States, and thus donning a tinfoil hat in the hopes that perhaps some lowly state department official will be cruising around the web one day, during their lunch hour, and say, "You know, Jeeves, I say, one must do one's due to one's country by taking a day such as today, and, well, you know, having a spot of 'spot the good idea as held by one's peer' on the old information dual-carriageway. If that's the word I mean." Well, to cut a long story short, a crisis of conscience appears, and before you can say "Jack Robinson Crusoe" that very thing which you pretended to write has come true.
Or (2), keeping track of how to maintain blog software, or wiki software, or linux software, or any other kind of software.
Or (3), pointing out that people don't necessarily keep their word, even though facts published on their weblogs might contradict earlier (or later) weblog postings.
But not me. No, I'm using my weblog in a very creative way: I only write in it when I can remember the URL, and I never write anything related to work, or to weblogging.
I keep on thinking of that old adage one hears about people with writer's block: "Just write every day." Well, codswallup. If that's the word I mean. I'm gonna write every day, except for those days I forget, of course, and there's gonna be no blocks about it, you probably won't even want to read it. For heaven's sake, I'm an engineer, not a political pundit. Not that you'd want to read what most of them have to say anyway.
No, I'll just keep to the strayed (but narrow) columns of this Movable Type prison, and before you can say Lost: The Reunion (Starring Jackie Robinson and Robinson Crusoe), there'll be more words than an assembly exercise for Cray Supercomputers flowing on your terminal.
