# Oh, just one thing...
I feel my life is now lacking direction. Now the board has passed 1000000 (I missed) posts I feel all hollow inside.

What do I do now?

# Open another
beer? Always a solution I find...

# start a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY detailed blog
and you'll have a million posts to it in no time.

Started my first blog.
Wed 2 Apr, 18:34

Posted my first blog entry and it refreshed quicker than I expected.
Wed 2 Apr, 18:34

I just posted my second entry and that one refreshed a little slower than the first one, it seems to be irregular.
Wed 2 Apr, 18:34

That last one was the same as the second one. I think the first one was maybe a fluke.

etc...

# for the pitch we're working on at the moment
we're positing the idea of a blog you can update via text message

can you imagine the tedium?

# I saw a live txt message updated blog thing from a journo who was at the Glastonbury town meeting thing where they made the decision about granting the license or not
I was watching the updates live and made a joke to some other ppl who were also keeping tabs about the battery running out at the crusial moment and sure enough the next post was 'battery running out' he managed to borrow someone elses phone and keep updating though.
In that circumstance it was gripping but if someone is just stuck in the queue at Sainsbury's and decides to start getting all Samuel Pepys on our asses then I can see your point.

# Blimey...
that's aiming a bit too high

# I don't think
I've ever seen Fnord post a picture... he just sits around chatting about old stuff.

# fnord is lovely
and extremely helpful. There are times when i don't know where we would be without him. He helps people when they are stuck, or new and is just generally good.

The end.

edit - incidentally maybe you should check his profile before you say he doesn't post anything... he does do amazing stuff.

# be warned though,
checking fnord's profile is not for the faint hearted! ;)

# it even scares me away from going there unless I really have to
and then i still need to psyche myself up for it.

# heh
I missed that post earlier. Quite odd to see my site number one for that search. And quite funny considering I'm about to remove my b3ta gallery from that site and stick it on my new one!
