OK, so this is my all-new, new-look journal. Obviously I didn't do it myself.

I've been only sporadically present on this website for a while now. It's a state of affairs that looks set to continue on and off. I check in most days, post occasionally, lurk often. Occasionally, I like what I see. More often than not, I feel a bit behind the times. I don't know what it is we wanted to achieve with this community, back in the good old bad old days. I know this isn't it. I don't know if it would be better, if we'd achieved what we wanted, or if it would just have been a different kind of clusterfuck.

I've learned a lot from this site over the years. Props to those bad old guys who taught me stuff.

Groups

Wee! This is the place where I'm supposed to show you all the clusterfuck groups I belong to:

There aren't any. So instead a tribute.

May you squawk in peace.

More stuff

I think, to be honest, this particular CSS layout was made for people who have a lot more to say than I do. Apparently.

Life

Well, in Real Life I'm happy. I have my own place, I've been working the same job for nearly three years. It's boring, but it pays the bills and gives me time to concentrate on more interesting things. I sold my car, which means I no longer need to wrestle with my environmental conscience. I've sold out a little on my past ideals, but not so much it's uncomfortable. I guess in my old age I've reached a state of compromise. And I'm happy with it.

Stamps

Apparently I'm supposed to put some more of those shitty stamps in this box. Instead I'd like to take this opportunity to commemorate the STFU truck, with a moment's silence:

's alright, most of us get here by looking in our devwatch boxes.

Personally, I think right now it's not too bad. Sure, there's a lot of bitching and bullshit, but if you find your own pocket of people you can get some good ideas happening.

Just the finding that's sometimes difficult.

The pockets were one of the bits I disliked. Cliques are something I've always attempted to avoid. Back when all the cool kids were off getting themselves banned, I went and got a subscription, for goodness' sake.

I blame the chats, personally (and always have). Forums can be seen and commented on by a million people, but chats are small-scale and have a tendency to burp those pockets out at a great rate of knots.
