dotcomslashblog : Wishes And All That

Hope to get back into it soon too. Meanwhile, I do want to get some work done. Enough of the holiday spirit already!

dotcomslashblog : Woz-signed iBook Anyone?

Sat, 3 Jan 2009 16:46:06 +0000

Been 800 for a bit now. Wonder what the seller's aiming for. If I had the money, I'd buy any Mac in a blink. This seems reasonable though. Jobs-signed new MacBook would be a different story. Oh, and thanks for the comment. Cheers.

Yeah, signal was never very good. Felt like dial-up most of the time :) But the games was cool indeed. Happy holidays!

How very Edward Learian. Thank you.

Lost and confused? Yup. But I've gotten better at it. These days, one glance at a new service like these tells me whether to 1) get on board 2) sit it out 3) ditch it immediately. At least that offers some confidence.

Yeah, that 200 euro bid does seem a bit preposterous, even for a regular model. Sure it will go up yet.

I trust you don't often use Middle Dutch colloquially then. Oh, ever since I quit my Literature and Linguistics studies I hardly do either... Cheers, thanks for comment.

Yep, we all know how Wikipedia is full of atheist lies made up by civil rights activists don't we?

Superb. Hadn't heard that yet. Will do a small update :)

Yeah, there has never been a lot of investigative blogging here yet, but I'm sure this will change some things. I don't think the guy will have a lot of success trying to check bloggers, but I'm interested to see what's going to happen.

It was pretty laughable, and yet sad. Really wondering what will come of this.

Hey, yeah, I knew who you were and sure, feel free to link if you like. Thanks.

A 'weapon against national solidarity', 'mistrust and dissent', 'ethics for the sake of the nation' - I can hardly believe that phraseology still exists. Still, you're worse off than we are then, because this may soon abate. Still, it shows how careful we need to be: it starts with this and before we know, we're in Malaysia too. Cheers, take care and thanks for the comment.

dotcomslashblog : It's Not the Economy Stupid, It's the Web

Hey Adem, nope, I think you're right, people should just spend and go on with their lives, but many don't. I always assumed there'd be some cultural differences, but apparently most people are just scared - Brits or Flemish. I know I'm spending coz I'm always broke. Bt perhaps I'm just always broke ;)

Oh, supah! Yep, just reading feeds can get you sidetracked. And commenting, I really love doing that too. Perhaps it's the way it was meant to be and we all need to get back to that. I popped round the new big blog immediately, and it looks great. Get that content coming!

Hey, I'm not sure how I could go more minimal really, short of taking the road of http://suda.co.uk/publications I linked to above. Feel free to suggest one though. I change pretty quickly ;) As far as the Indians go: no idea mate, no idea.

Hey Mark, first off, thanks for dropping by, for your comment (I do still like them too) and for the compliment. The theme is Thematic but I moved some stuff around a bit. As for comments, well, I do hope they'll stick around for a while. I've no idea what blogs will evolve into (have a look at this one, talk about austere) but somehow we'll always feel that need to reach out. I'm definitely looking forward to what commenting systems such as Disqus and IntenseDebate will have to offer and add.

I do have stats, but they come from Analytics, Webmaster tools, Reader and Feedburner separately. It's never been clear to me how those add up and more often than not do they appear to contradict one another. Let's just say that a comment says more than a thousand stats. Cheers!
