Pause

25-Mar-08

Whilst the spammers are having their fun, I have disabled commenting. I am wondering what to do with this site. Follow up to… eh… follow.

The weblog as a commonplace book

04-Nov-07

A metaphor that is already a couple of years old, and I haven’t noticed it until now. But it is a fitting metaphor — or it may be, if the weblogger is inclined to make use of the Internet in such a manner.

Code of Conduct?

10-Apr-07

I’m ignoring Tim O’Reilly’s Draft Blogger’s Code of Conduct. (I don’t even know who Tim O’Reilly is. Should I?) Netiquette, on the other hand, is much more organic; and I thoroughly recommend it.
