I managed to write on <http://livejournal.com> for two years solid. It was great writing practice, but the experiment failed because I wrote on Livejournal for the wrong reasons. I wrote for my family and friends, hoping they would comment and write back. This could have let me keep in touch with far-flung friends and family, but ultimately ended up with just me writing, and no one writing back. text/html 2009-03-05T18:26:04-07:00 http://exileinparadise.com/wiki/user:robert_murphey:feelings_about_my_father?rev=1236306364&do=diff Last year my cousin tracked me down asking how things were with me and my dad. That wasn't good. Then a couple of private investigators come to my house looking for him in connection with some plant safety case. That really wasn't good. This week, my uncle wrote me, which forced me to think about my dad for a third time in as many months. text/html 2008-03-01T23:31:28-07:00 http://exileinparadise.com/wiki/user:robert_murphey:forward_into_the_past?rev=1204443088&do=diff Over the last three months, I have built, installed, cajoled, and crowbarred a pile of junk hardware in my office into a PC capable of running Jnode, a 0.2.x revision all-Java operating system, as its native OS. The time has come to put my new Jnode PC to work*. text/html 2008-02-02T15:52:03-07:00 http://exileinparadise.com/wiki/user:robert_murphey:through_his_eyes?rev=1201996323&do=diff I ran cross a pretty nifty-sounding contest[1] today, to create an image from Einstein's famous E=mc2 equation written on a chalkboard.

Discouraging. I'd rather be writing, but maybe that's a pipe dream when attempted on the Internet. These spammers seem to be link farmers, trying to spread links to their phish/malware sites by automatically loading them anyplace they can write to, and hoping that the search bots will harvest them up. text/html 2008-01-11T09:27:15-07:00 http://exileinparadise.com/wiki/user:robert_murphey:windows_powershell?rev=1200072435&do=diff I got a good laugh from an article about Microsoft eating its own dog food by running their domain on their own server software. Good for them. Using their products might make them better. But, I doubt anything they can do, now or in the future, will shake my belief that their best product was Microsoft Basic (c)1978.
