Just wanted to check up on everyone and see how you guys are doing.
I’m still planning on making a return to regular blogging sometime soon (March?). Things have been fairly boring around here… but at least traffic levels and subscription levels are up from when I left. I’ve also gone the past two months without even once touching my RSS reader… and you know what? I don’t miss it whatsoever. In fact, I am thinking about giving my RSS reader the boot. Even with a reader I still visit my favorite blogs and news sites all the time - so why read the same info twice?
Despite my escape from the grasp of RSS, I’ve been keeping up with the popular news. And yes, I do know what is currently happening between the 12 year old script kiddies… errr “Anonymous”, and the biggest, richest cult the world has ever seen - Scientology. Personally I think it is hilarious, but what is even funnier is how similar the groups are: they use illegal tactics to prove their sometimes illogical points, they are both cults, they abuse the Internet, they sound exactly the same, have the “if you’re not with us you’re against us” attitude, and they both need to seriously grow up.
However, at the same time I wish Anonymous luck. My hatred of the way Scientology (*cough* heh *cough*) conducts it’s business is greater than my hatred of DoS attacks.
Please subscribe, or else I will cry. Do you really want to make a programmer cry?

I have been away for almost 2 weeks, and yeah, I don’t miss my RSS either

Hey pelf, great to see you
Still no RSS here yet… although I might start using it again now that the “return of the Steele man” is coming closer. It is a bit more difficult staying up to date on the smaller sites and blogs without it.
