Seaworthy Southeast Thesaurus. Hoping to write about (why I don't like) the Magnetic Fields very soon.

Am I the only person in the world that doesn't have a blog? I feel so left out.

― kate, Wednesday, 4 June 2003 14:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

Nah, I don't have one either, Kate. Yer not alone.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 4 June 2003 14:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well, let us stand united. Because I'm feeling VERY TEMPTED. Only because I discovered by accident that one of my very best friend was saying some ... strange things about something I said off-hand a seemingly long time ago. And it just, well, gave me a turn. Not that I felt like I should do it, too. But I wondered what the heck it was all about, and if I was missing something by *not* blogging.

I guess not.

― kate, Wednesday, 4 June 2003 14:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

if y'all want Livejournals as another source of work-related time-wasting fun, I have several unused codes that I can hook ya up with.

yeah, the site was started as a collection of webblogs, but it works much better as a message board with the "Friends" view.

for example: mine(again)

not too exciting, huh?

now, compare it with this, which it fits in with much better.

three weeks pass...

Auspicious Fish!!!

Updated this morning with 2,500 words about my love affair with Embrace, and last night with a poem (possibly) by a Canadian scool pupil who committed suicide after handing it to his/her teacher, which I thought quite a few ILXORS might be interesting (I was first given the poem as a 15-yeard-old, when I did work experience at a primary school, by the teacher I was shadowing).

Also, has anyone had any trouble posting long articles on Blogger over the weekend? Mine kept refusing to post the whole article and had to eventually chop it into three bits. I notice Marcello posted his transcript on the CoM for the radio show (reading is not as good as I imagine listening would have been, fucking bandwidth) which was obviously quite long, so is it posting long pieces alright for other people and does Blogger just hate me?

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Monday, 30 June 2003 08:35 (twenty years ago) link

in my experience, different browsers allow different lengths of posts to blogs (opera allows distinctly less than netscape eg)

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 30 June 2003 10:36 (twenty years ago) link

I'm in Internet Explorer, from which I'm sure I've posted pieces of 1,500 words or more in the past (even if not quite 2,500). Strange.

― T. Weiss (Timmy), Monday, 30 June 2003 18:26 (twenty years ago) link

I'm not saying this from any particular "I've tested Opera vs Netscape, etc.." standpoint, but the nature of textareas (the box we type in) in HTML is controlled by a specific length that the person who coded the page decided. E.g. <input type=textarea maxlength=50000> gives us a maxlength of 50,000 characters. Many people don't put maxlengths in their textarea, or only define it in terms of size (widthxheight) so it may be true as well that opera/ns handles them differently.

I guess to plug my blog, right now it's here, and my long-abandoned design site (still with working bits of html available for plundering) is here.

http://www.electrokin.com/zabriskie_point/images/cameraimage.gifBORDER="0">- revised link to Zabriskie Point

― nick.K (nick.K), Friday, 11 July 2003 07:49 (twenty years ago) link

Actually, I kinda like that error, it's in keeping with the site. Zabriskie Point is a place for images that have recently fallen out of my camera. Words and meanings are few, I like the images to speak for themselves. Zabriskie Point is named after both the visually stunning film by Antonioni - highly subjective and indulgent, albeit enjoyably so - and the remote Borax mine in the centre of death valley.

What's that thing you do with Google or summat similar where you find out how many sites have links to summat? ie; your blog.

Today I am being tres solipsistic.

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 16:24 (twenty years ago) link

was thinking of starting a blog,more to force myself to write about something than anything else
dunno if anyone other than me would find it interesting though
how many blogs do people around here read?
have they reached saturation point?

― robin (robin), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 19:47 (twenty years ago) link

I hardly read any anymore but I'm not online as often. Robin you should, the start is the best fun aswell.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 16 July 2003 19:49 (twenty years ago) link

Auspicious Fish!

No, seriously - hey, Nick, if you wanna submit your URL to Google, click on the JOBS, PRESS, & HELP link on the front page, & then click on the SUBMITTING YOUR SITE (underneath the yellow mini-banner). & then watch the spam come arollin' in!

Also, Robin, heed Ronan's advice - the honeymoon is super-fun (the excitement! the possible readership! the novelty!) & if you can somehow get past the mundanity of the enterprise & keep it fresh for yourself (why bother? who cares what I'm writing? why the hell can't I write anything?), it's all good. Fear of over-saturating the blog market is unnecessary and booshit.

AOL Time-Warner maybe need to issue NME staff with blog software, as they are a week behind with the news.
