New Year's resolution: F*ck the internet

It’s not that I don’t like it. It’s not that I don’t plan to use it still. Hey, a guy needs his porn. Anyway, for me it’s just that I don’t feel like I’m getting my time out of it. 

The internet & Football are the same in that they invariably just suck you in; there you are, on the precipice of doing something wholly productive, and the next thing you know you’re 3 hours into the future and haven’t done a damned thing. And that sucks.

I like to write. But it feels like I have an obligation to it or something when I make myself concerned for the internet. Who cares? My site gets this much traffic a day: 2-7 visits. Wow. And I’m not selling anything. I don’t have anything on the line. And I’m not going to gain in popularity. One common thread I notice among “popular” websites & blogs especially, is that they all focus solely on one, single, solitary thing. I can’t do that. I mean, hey guys & gals, I like my porn, right? I can’t blog about nothing but porn. I’m a ‘jack of all trades’ personality, even in writing.

So my New Year’s resolution is to be less involved in the internet. I may put up a post or two, if I have nothing else to do, my legs are broken, and I’m sick. But otherwise, I think that this time — for real though — I am pretty much saying bon voyage to the dear ol’ internet. You wanna know what the Bob is up to? Gimme a call man. Or Babe (if you’re hot).

random bob returns to the blogspot: Beware, the end is nigh

Dudes. OK so here’s the thing: I have been blogging sporadically for the past few years. Mundane things; you know.

I’ve changed my hosting a few times. Started on blogspot, didn’t like the lack of control, moved to iWeb (what’s that, you’re saying? NOT a blog platform, that’s what), moved to RapidWeaver (what’s that, you’re saying? NOT a good blog platform, that’s what), and now finally have moved back to where I should have stayed, blogger (formerly known as blogspot).

Problem: how do you move blogs around from incompatible platforms? Answer: you either a) don’t, or b) hand-transfer each post. The first few times I did it, I had maybe >100 posts at most, so I just did it the hard way and copied over – by hand – my posts into the new platform of choice. This time however, I have/had ~600 posts. And without spending $15-20, I’m unable to adequately move my posts from my last platform BACK to blogger. So this time, it’s probably going to be option a).

Deal with it :-)

I will probably be able to move some over, but I’m not going to try and move the whole of them, that would just be too daunting. Maybe I’ll get some of the newer entries over. Maybe. I’ve been known to have a lazy streak.

Also you should note that should I decide to do that, I will backdate this post as much as necessary to make sure it's the FIRST post of the new account. (originally written August 19th, 2009 though).
