A Regular

Blogging is weird. You sit and write and hope people connect, but it's hard to tell if anyone does. Sometimes, people vote on what I now call "quality", which was originally called "karma"; but it's really hard to tell what those votes mean. Rarely, someone leaves a comment, and you say to yourself, "yes! I am not alone in the void!"

I'm not complaining - believe me, you'll know when I'm complaining. I check my referrer logs all the time trying to see if anyone is linking and how people get here. Since almost the very start, LEWISCOR.umsl.edu has been coming here. I don't know who they are - if they've ever voted, if they've ever commented, but they keep coming back. Sometimes I won't see them in the logs for a while, and I worry that I've been rejected - odd when you consider I have no idea who this person is that it should matter if they "reject" me. But then there they are and I'm happy - I have someone who chooses to come here knowing what they're in for when they get here.

We welcome comments. However, use no profanity and be civil.

Dude, we need to not broadcast that I'm not doing work on company time--really.

I had no idea it was you. And, er, sorry for entering into Carnival of the Vanities (it was an impulse sort of thing) which will make it one of my better read posts (not that that is saying much).

Given the addy is of the previous guy in the job--no biggie. I doubt anyone cares that much--I'm careful that if I post in the day which is not much, it can be accounted for by breaks and it isn't a campaign act. I believe both actions make it both legal and within policy.

I actually surf a lot while writing--it is a way to combat writer's block for me. Or so I tell myself.
