 A tentative blog to test the temperature. |
|
Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end. So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.     |
| Rant for the Day I see that Cubby is currently stripping wallpaper. A fine pastime in which I’ve done my share of indulging. But it’s the name variations that bear no relationship to the original that bug me. Sure, let us know what you’re doing every minute of the day, but don’t hide who you are. Yes, I know it’s possible to check on the username but I get confused as to who owns what username. It can look really familiar but highly unlikely that I can link it to the usual given name. So it rarely helps with identifying a person through all these name changes. You won’t find me changing my name or adding to it every five minutes. And it’s true that I don’t even know how to do it. But I could find out. I could. If I wanted to. So there. Word count: 142 |
