[Peteashton.com] Pete Ashton's Weblog: Blogging Archives: Jason Kottke may be the uber-blogger with the most hits but even though he has millions of readers he still only has a limited number of actual friends, and it's those, the people who actually give a shit about whether he eats or not, who will help him achieve his goal. It might be nice to think that in our lovely interconnected internetty world strangers will help strangers, but they tend not to, at least not in any reliable monetary sense. But you can pretty much always rely on your friends to help and support you in your crazy decisions, because, without getting all soppy, that's what they're for.
[Peteashton.com] Pete Ashton's Weblog: Blogging Archives: I'm writing this after a few beers mainly because I know I won't write it when sober and that doesn't mean it's anything particularly soul exposing - I've been at this game long enough to know when not to blog when drunk. No, this is tedious meta stuff that my sober self would normally just let slide by like the easy going chap he is, but walking back from the taxi (always get out of the taxi with a fifteen minute walk ahead of you - it gives you a chance to think and not be quite so rowdy when you get in, plus you save a good 50p of so) it occurred to me that I need to address this. It also occurred to me that I wouldn't address it tomorrow and that I'm not so drunk that my sober self will hate me in the morning.
[Quinparker.com] quinparker.com: figure out where these two people on the seat opposite had come from and why they were talking about their dogs and c. convince myself that, yes, getting off the bus as soon as possible was really the best move given the circumstances. it took about an hour to walk back through the early morning fog, and i think i may have even stopped at a petrol station and bought some revolting tinned milkshake. i really need to take some lessons in how to hold my alcohol as i've just entirely forgotten.
[Quinparker.com] quinparker.com: that counts as a pretty ok year. i don't often talk about personal stuff here very much for fear of making this one of those angsty & whining/incredibly smug (delete as appropriate) diary blog things, but i do have quite high hopes for 2003. i've only got another three weeks working at a box company. it is not my chosen career and what i want to do with my existence on this earth, and i'm dead excited about going on to do a pretty good journalism course in a nice city (even if the council doesn't seem to look after it's heritage very well.) me happy.
[Blog.lightsoutfilms.com] Lights Out Films: April 2004: It doesn't show up on all servers, all the time (sometimes it's my old 4/10 number), but it's a pretty respectable score for a site that is run by one idiot who doesn't update enough. Still trying to get the Google AdSense ads worked out so I can cash in. By comparision (as far as Rank numbers go) Fark.com gets a 7, and Dvdfile.com gets a 6 (this is a great site, by the way, and I bow to their brillance. But they also do it full time.
