blog = beef log

(or, if you must, summer sausage.)

― jess, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I haven't had time to do what I wanted with my blog, since I got laid off recently. I've been more focused on creating new portfolio pieces, but I'll get back to it at some point.

― Nude Spock, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

er: up-thread ally mentions checking stats re blog-visitors... is this done via some kewl interweb device you build into yr own html or whatever? and if so how and where do i get one oh youngsters with the net-skillz and the get-her hatz...

(basically i want to know when chomsky's been lurking)

― mark s, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Sitemeter.com is the place to go, Mark. Freaky Trigger tested AND approved. I don't know if such things will work w/ Pitas, though. (Your site is a Pita, right?)

― David Raposa, Friday, 12 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

It does work with pitas. You just have to paste the bit of javascript they give you into your pitas template. This is how i know hair enthusiasts are so keen on my (currently resting) weblog.

in case y'all didn't see the notice on nylpm and if you all don't loathe me now, my music blog is back and it is here:

rebellious jukebox

(even if tom's too good to link to it from nylpm directly...) ;)

― jess, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

let's try this again...

rebllious jukebox

― jess, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Ooh! I have a blog too. It's called Starry vs the Baddies. I'm thinking of changing domain names if anyones got any ideas. I live with the Arsemonkey. Incidentally, I know why your link to Toms site doesn't work. I will fix it for you. The "usual" password, is he?

― Sarah, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yes. This site is done by Tom who has never posted here. But he is a twat. In the best possible sense. Um.

― Sarah, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Eyes That Can See in the Dark is mine.

PUMPKIN PUBLOG IS BACK

― Josh, Thursday, 1 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

my site is not a blog but i wanted to bump this up to new answers anyway.

also feria RULES at least their chocolate cherry does. plus their gloves are the bestest on the market.

― maura, Monday, 5 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Maura's website is a discretionary blog with standards too high for us other bloggers to consider achieving. As they say in the bidness, it "picks its spots".

― David Raposa, Monday, 5 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

but dave it is NOT A BLOG! it is also not a diary, or a domain, or a piece of grey matter. it is just a web site, with some links, although not too many off-site ones.

― maura, Monday, 5 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Maura, you didn't get the memo? EVERY website is now a "blog". It's part of some elaborate marketing scheme - I don't get it, but whatever. Yes, even this site is now a "blog".

― David Raposa, Monday, 5 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

It's a frequently updated personal web site heh. If it was a blog then Maura would update it every three hours with what she can see out of her window. The problem being that I think Maura doing this would be ace.

― Tom, Monday, 5 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

What does it mean when someone from a Major News Corporation that has a newspaper in your area looks at your web site? Maybe they're just looking for plagiarism or something.

― Kerry, Thursday, 29 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

OR: everyone else fucks off at work too.

Hear me wanking on about Evan Dando, as if you'd want to, and other things at my new blog. Note: these are the first words I've ever written.

My blog.

― powertonevolume, Sunday, 17 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Go on, please?

Can someone please read something (exc. that Astral Weeks post as its not finished) and say something even if it is abusive.

Purty please?

― powertonevolume, Thursday, 21 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

There’s Too Much Love, though (the song Nick Dastoor described as the typical B&S sound that they’ve been driving toward)

I did? Cripes - the things I say..

― N., Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Oops, forgot about that. Thanks for reading though. Am now laughing gently.

― powertonevolume, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yeh, I'm sure you did in a post to sinister reviewing the merits of fishyclap.

the drog of ms. spectra anne marjorie lyne

― elizabeth anne marjorie, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

It's only just come to mind, but I'm wondering why we don't already have some kind of IL* homepage out there with shortcuts to all the related blogs/site stuff and links to both boards, maybe short bios (would work best if they are primarily on a submission rather than selection basis), etc... I know there is a friendly IL* 'network' of sorts out there already, but it's not directed or comprehensive. Not too open to newcomers, certainly. Maybe there's a good reason we shouldn't have it - there are cliquey connotations, but eh... depends how much familiarity or ease people want I guess. Has this been suggested before?

― Kim, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Not too open to newcomers, certainly.

Is this a joke?!

― N., Saturday, 23 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Is that knee-jerk defensiveness? It's a constructive criticism. I don't mean the board is not open in tone, because I think it mostly is, I just mean that the locations of ALL of the blogs and FT and the other related sites that really do seem to be a part of 'this' for a lot of people, aren't that easy to find (or even to know about) if you're somewhat new around here. If avoiding the appearance of a clique is a good thing, easier access to actual information might help people feel like there isn't one. Lots of the blogs or writings that get mentioned frequently, I know I could find if I wanted to, but I'd likely have to travel through another list of links to get there (assuming I haven't bookmarked it that is) - I'm just suggesting that the extended IL* community might be made easier to get around - for anyone.

― Kim, Saturday, 23 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Loads of them are linked to on NYLPM!

― Josh, Saturday, 23 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I don't know why I used a ! there.

― Josh, Saturday, 23 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

because you sometimes fall prey to irredeemable bumptiousness?

― mark s, Saturday, 23 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Please don't strike out at my heart with your truthfully cruel observations.

― Josh, Saturday, 23 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yes, I know. But that's exactly what I'm talking about - first you need to go to FT to find NYPLM and then go through that site to get to the blogs (which I'm sure not too many brand new posters will know to do) and that list of blogs is hardly inclusive and is kind of more ILM/music related than ILE/individual oriented if I'm not mistaken. Which is of course fine, as NYLPM itself is primarily music related. But ILE is not necessarily, so NYPLM or FT are not the most 'effecient' of homepages, if you see what I'm saying. But whatever, it's just an idea.

― Kim, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Well, a geocities page is pretty simple to set up. The difficult part would be getting everyone to "okay" having their blogs or pictures linked.

― bnw, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

linking blogs = not their choice, if they don't want it they shouldn't tell people about them!

― Josh, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Hahaha....."bumptious"......I haven't heard that word since the days of acne disses.

As for the topic at hand, I think Kim's idea is cool.....I may not show it but I am quite blown away by how so many NYLPM-linked bloggers and ILM/ILE people are just so on point, charming and interesting when talking about music or even their shopping list, and I'd read every blog listed on this hypothetical link page....which would be amazing as I've all but sworn off reading blogs completely thanks to the past few years with their ever-multiplying legions of boring fuckfaces and their stories about what incredibly corny, ho- hum hijinks happened that day with five hundred people named Rob, their super duper reading lists on the sidebar that I guess are supposed to make me not notice their eye-rapingly boring writing, that damn third-person bio bullshit, their fucking "I like: 1. drinking milk through curly straws! 2. putting hot laundry on my face!. 3. drinking blood with Rob while listening to OK Computer! 4. playing ping-pong till ya sweat! :)" lists....oh fucking stop me please.....their, their, their endless misuses of the word MYRIAD, their surveys from another friend of theirs they reply very uncleverly to and then post so we can see how unclever they are.....at the worst of times I was reading blogs so bad I wanted to shut down the internet...friend of a friend of a friend links me to another blog-ring with its identical members and implores to give feedback....bitch how can I, it's the same shit as ever.....big weird word for blog title, same old feces inside.....I want to murder all your yupscum friends and then murder all your alt-lifestyle friends even more slowly because they think their smarter than the yupscum but use the exact same number of too many commas....congratulations, you have somehow given typed text Tourettes syndrome, genius....oh great you discovered Diana Krall!! I'm glad you cried!!!.....who are these fucking people!!!!?!?!?!

― Ramosi, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I neglected to add indie kids with blogs because 90% of them I don't classify as human beings.....and yes, I know there are much worse , less interesting people on this planet, but they do not have this horrible need to express themselves publicly

― Ramosi, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I had my first hate mail the other week. Hurray. Mission accomplished: I had wasted 15 minutes of his precious time. After that I got a compliment. Obviously I'm going downhill again. hah.

So no-one had a mosey on over, then? ;-)
