Still The Same Bart

If you’re a regular blog reader, I am sure you have your favourites. The best ones are usually the ones where something is really happening in the bloggers life. Well, all I can say is my thoughts are with Bart – I hope all goes well for you. Coming out is not an easy thing, no matter how many times you do it.

Temptation

I am a PC kinda-guy. Well, I was a Unix admin at one point (very briefly) but after spending a whole night loading Linux from 80 discs at work I opted for the relative ease of an out-of-the-box PC at home. But I am tempted by an Apple. Mybe it’s the underlying Unix-ness of it all that is appealing. Maybe it’s that my Windows XP box doesn’t really live up to my expectations. A friend of mine says, “I believe the tide of reason is finally beginning to lather the unwashed masses” – can you tell he’s a Mac guy? But it’s true. I’ve heard of several people who have gone Mac.

So, I came across a link to Ken. Now Ken is is an Apple product manager and he has a weblog which is worth the read. Even for PC-heads like me. [link thanks]

The Art of the Blog

I have been thinking some more about this whole blogging lark. I have always said that the most fascinating part of the online community has been personal homepages. They drawn me in like some crazed stalker. However, you put it there for me to read so, perhaps, stalker is not the appropriate term (I mean how many people invite stalkers?). Still, read them I do. So, I was interested in the book We’ve Got Blog. Now, here is a handy link to some of the books contents.

Welcome To August 2002

So I did it. I had set myself the challenge to write this blog everyday for one whole calendar month and, I think, I have completed it. I did it for several reasons, one of which was to see if I had anything to say. Here’s what I think I have learnt:

  1. It’s hard to find the time to blog
  2. My blog is mainly a collection of my thoughts of the moment and, may not, be properly considered opinion
  3. I should re-edit many of my thoughts after some time
  4. I don’t write about friends (that could change)
  5. I don’t write about work (that could change)
  6. I edit my thoughts for the web. Why?
  7. My opinions need to be refined
  8. I want to know more about UK politics
  9. I lack a proper understand of world politics

Anyway, I shall continue and re-assess in another month.
