From The Register today:

In some ways Weblogging is a response to contemporary phenomena. One phenomenon is the disappearance of civic organisations and forums for public engagement and debate. A more important phenomenon is the rise of the confessional culture, in which people increasingly make their lives public and share their experiences. If the volume is kept down, this latter tendency can provide one with a more rounded and engaging picture of Weblog writers who one might not otherwise know well. But frequent and often trivial postings are more therapeutic for the author than they are informative for the reader. Intimacy and confession are for friends and family, and their appearance in Weblogging doesn't merit celebration.

Hey, who's celebrating? I thought the point was these 'webloggers' can write whatever they want, be it trivial, moronic, intelligent, thoroughly researched, informative, entertaining or whatever. Who cares? If people wanna read about my dull comings and goings, then so be it. AND I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE! I SEE YOUR HTTP REQUESTS! 193.63.87.2! 194.217.93.82! 217.46.214.81, that picture really isn't that interesting. Besides, I've implemented the whole half/full/quarter/eighth size thing throughout all the pictures in April now. Oh, you've worked it out. Yes, that's the absinthe, that's Tarn and those are some blurred people. Oh my god. What am I doing? I seem to be responding to HTTP requests from my Apache log files. HELP. Someone help me.

Oh, and erm . . . another thing. How 'bout some feedback? You know, the scripting I did for the image thing? Is that good? Bad? Couldn't care less?
