16 jun 06 "what's going on here?" i've always thought it to be sad when the creator of any sort of user input system provides the first input. but another way of looking at it might be that it's like putting a few bucks or a handful of change into your own guitar case before busking all day; just something to let people know what they should do, what appropriate behavior is. some might recognize the format as the same as my old blog, of moons and moons ago. even though that blog turned out not to be something i wanted to pursue, for a number of reasons, the format is usable and well-designed. readers should send some question like "what is the purpose of life?", "why are you so ugly?", or "how tall are you?", and i'll post my response here. see, normally, one might anticipate history's continuing lesson: not to expect any contributions whatsoever. however, people actually did get into spraying my "wall" a while back, probably inspired by the anonymity and "bare-bones" interface (one text field, and one submit button). that anonymity and simplicty have been duplicated here. i have high hopes, as always. i had a number of blog readers way back when -- some were disappointed when i discontinued it. i'm not going to tell anyone that this project has been started, but will just let the writers and readers drift in on their own. i can, of course, pick the questions to which i respond, and if a huge number are submitted, i'll be choosy. but, for now, i think i'll pretty much answer every question submitted. i don't know exactly where inspiration will take me, but i'll probably answer questions as honestly and completely as possible. well, unless that question is something like "what's your social security number, mother's maiden name, account number, routing number, credit card number, birth-date, address and phone number?" in that case, i might either make some stuff up or write something about the philosophical implications of "identity theft." or, i might just make a joke of it, ramble about something else, etc. but i'll address what was asked in some way, because that's the whole point. i'm editing right on the server, like i used to do when i first started my blog. it's just for today, while i hammer out some things. send me questions, people -- morax demands it. |
