Welcome to my corner of the internet

Two Years and Still Going

Today marks two years since I started down this whole blogging path thing, and what a couple of years it’s been:

  • Two domain name changes.
  • Three site overhauls (rolled my own, moved to .Text, and now the current incarnation known as Community Server).
  • This site has been hosted on no less than 5 different machines, all in house.
  • Bush somehow got re-elected.
  • Two Hilton sex tapes.

I seriously didn’t think I’d still be going after 2 years…I’ve done the whole “journaling” thing before, and it didn’t last.  Maybe it’s the fact that people actually read this drivel I manage to hammer out from time to time :-).

I was going to make a seperate post about this, but I feel it fits in decently with this one.  I’ve finished up my “Current Stream” control for CS; it’s on the upper right hand corner of my site (the name of the track currently streaming is displayed in real time, just click it to tune in).  I’ll post the code at some point within the very near future.

Thanks to my 3 loyal readers for helping me persevere, and here’s hoping to another couple of years in the blogosphere.  Cheers.

Greetings for your blog birthday :) Blogging is my favorite job when I'm free. It helps me to share my thoughts with others and communicate with them. And this new control is very nice. Good job ;)

I think I have you beat by a few months, but I never thought about it. Two years... Seems a long time, doesn't it? I enjoyed the post and the last two years' significant events, particularly Bush somehow getting re-elected. Keep blogging, Dude. You're one of my faves. Cheers!

From what I've seen so far, you've got a pretty good blog here. A good mix of tech/human interest stuff to give your blog some personality, which is what makes people want to return. I've only been blogging since July and like you, I was never much of the journal person. It is crazy to think that people actually enjoy readin what we write, or that it may help someone at some point. Congrats on the two-year mark!

@Sara -- Well thanks! It took me a while to find my *ahem* "voice" (if you can call it that)...about a year actually. I re-read some of my earlier stuff from time to time and have to laugh at how awful it was. Something I wish I had done more of early on was more non-tech related posts. This is therapy for me!
