A Thousand times ago

 

I wish I could offer people a 100 Day satisfaction guarantee but in 1,000 editions of it since its conception around 2006 I don't think we've made anything much beyond a post replacement guarantee if it gets eaten by Blogger or some aspect or other causes concerns.

We got going in March 2006 when MySpace, Friends Reunited, Tinier Me and Best Stuff were still things and not ancient memories of the early era of Social Media and where over time this blog replaced a limited blogging facility at Friends Reunited.

I did talk About Me with some initial bullet points and actually we ought to renew them.

 * I no longer work because I became too ill to work

* Don't feel old even though the bones do complain cos for me that's been there from childhood and isn't associated with age.

* I do l still like music, reading magazines and websites about artists and recordings although traditional paper magazines have been decimated by social media sites and online only publications.

* Am addicted to cute things even if people of the same bone years tm find that embarrassing.

*Think Anime is the best form of animation, ever

* Feel having a laugh and a joke matters.

* I understood I loved bringing out and using my child-like side and did more around that as it also kept me calm.

It doesn't mean you don't some thousand issues on mean you don't get some who really don't understand that to like resembling more of that eternal girl you doesn't mean you're in any way interested in what is called "Adult stuff". It gives me an ikky feeling in my tummy just associating childhood and that stuff with it.

This blog came before all others so we really got into things around current affairs, pop culture and music  and looks cos that's what interests me and for a period we had followers from a music forum where it was listed as sometimes I'd take a discussion from there to here with my own take on it free from some of the moderation issues the site had which was awkward when you were a moderator there too for a period.

In many ways this still is the case really anyway that these days on here I'm open about that younger girl side although that is mainly kept to its own spot where it doesn't get in way of all else and some of the discourse around topics under that can get heavy going so it's better seperated off even if there's only one me.

Here's to the next 1,000 posts!

400 entries!

Did anyone notice something last week?
Actually peoples that was the 400th post of this blog of mine that has been running for just over 6 years and in it's current form for about three when I woke up around 4AM with this amazingly amazing idea of what I wanted by way of content and critically how I wanted the whole look to be including its new title. Good job I had a note pad and pen by my bed don't you think to write it all down, eh?
And if you haven't sussed it out, I talk here about anything really from furry creatures to the state of the Euro taking in the odd thing about music so it's very eclectic.
When I first started it, it was only a few weeks after getting a broadband internet connection which for the benefit of younger readers meant not only didn't you hear no funny dialling up tones every time you wanted to connect and no more missing phone calls cos the computer was using the line, it now was permanently on. It made using websites and writing a blog a lot easier.
Well kinda as those of you who know me know how goddam awful my current providers service is not helped for good measure by being over 2 miles from the telephone exchange so soon I'll be switching provider and upgrading to Fibre to the cabinet as at long last the major telecoms provider here has fibre connected the area up.
I've been spending part of the week tidying up  some of my account details as back in 2008 I switched most of my email to  professional web based  services in part to enable easier email access form places like work and also to reduce any issues if I moved home or changed provider as many people back then had their email provided by whoever their  internet. provider was whereas today most of use don't (hands up you GMail users!) and check our emails on smartphones, tablets as well as laptop or desktop computers. Otherwise it would be change your provider, lose your emails unless you backed them up and even then you'd have to change all your details up again which is a pain for internet shopping and that.
I set a number of old accounts just to redirect to my web mail for speed but only discovered a few I still use a lot  hadn't be properly changed on the sites so I changed my details at Serif and Bestuff amongst others ready for when this internet provider gets turned off. Equally I got a Type N 150 USB wifi adaptor for this old desktop although I plan to get a laptop with built in wifi soonish, as there's quite a distance from where my phone master sockets is  where the engineers will install their stuff and where the desktop is situated and I'll be using both through the transition no doubt.
Until the next entry folks, bye and thanks for reading the blog all those years.
