D'you Ever Feel Like This?










...because I sure as hell do.

  1. Um, nope.
    My Blog is my only online presence and that is deliberately anonomised. (Though it wouldn't take much effort to track me down -if some hypothetical stalker wished to.)
    I did start a facebook profile when the school reunion was immanent, but now check it once about every 3 or 4 months and delete the enmasse pokes, prods & invites to pray for someones pancreas unread. I'd rather be self indulgent & go to St. Pancreas. Again.
    So, while I can see a litle of the appeal, I'm yet to join the twat-o-verse. I'm a notorious late uptaker of technology, I figure some other clown can spend his hard earned on the bleeding edge - I'll wait til the bugs are ironed out. Worked a treat with Journalspace!

  2. My blog has reverted to my public calander, and somewhere to write a little story if something interesting happens. And a common link to a few cool blogs for people who put in a lot more effort than I do :)

  3. I once had all five but have down-scaled to blog and youtube only. I really don't get twittering. Why should I expect others to find the minutiae of my life (or their own) endlessly fascinating?

  4. Painful, innit? I'm told it's a nice way to have a group conversation online... but I don't get to sit down and converse. If I'm sitting down for any significant time period, I'm writing, editing, reading, or researching.

    And honestly... I'm a dad. My life is not exciting. Today I've put the kids through breakfast, dropped the boys at school, refuelled the car and checked the tyres (left rear has a slow leak. Annoying.) done the grocery shopping, returned home and tackled some laundry, made a large pot of stock, read and edited and emailed, made string-prints with the Mau-Mau and cut them into butterfly shapes which will later become a mobile for her bedroom... did some minor upgrading and maintenance in the laundry cupboard...

    ...it isn't interesting, y'know?

    Works better as a blog, especially using same as a record for the kiddies later. Twitter? Well, sheet. I'd have even LESS time then, wouldn't I?

  5. Naaah I don't do all that shit. I do have a facebook page - primarily to keep contact with my first three sons. I do contribute to a few online forums - that's enough group conversation mostly. My blog died with JSpace, and the fact that my life is like yours a bit FH i.e. working stiff/father of small child = pretty fucken uninteresting reading.

  6. yes I can relate to it, but alos it's nice to see I'm not the only one who looks at Dan's site.

  7. To me Facebook and Twitter are for people who don't have the attention span to blog. I agree with Natalia about the minutiae and I love the term "twatter" NoWhereBob. That's awesome.

    And I much prefer to read about your life in a more descriptive form Flinthart. It IS interesting!

  8. Twitter can be very useful, i had one of the best meals I've ever had from a contact from twitter.

  9. "left rear has a slow leak. Annoying." I suspect the work of voodoo mechanics. Is the left rear wheel of a toy car in any of your friends houses sitting on a tack?
