Just an offtopic post from me.

 

Yay, tomorrow motorkhana!

 

Have sort of been messing around with my website (http://www.fookstar.com) , changed the backend system. Was using WebAPP which was sort of like a content management system, and am now in the process of moving over to Pivot which is like a blogging tool. WebAPP does lots of things, but doesn't do any of them particularly well. Have been messing around with Pivot for about a day now, and am liking it a fair bit so far. Doesn't do as much, but what it does it does very well.

 

Where is Jamie? I tried to call him too, but can't seem to get to him?

think i'll skip tomorrows motorkhana. i'll go to the next motorkhana in a fortnights time.

 

stay home, go to the markets in the morning and play with my new toy. got my new ke10 home today. was a very good score. looks quite nice with a much needed wash. see if i can get it running tomorrow. hasn't been started for over 2 years.

Oh well, if we finish early enough I might drop in maybe. Will call. Another KE10? Cool :P What plans for this one?

Ta nick. A lot of work left to do I think, it's very very unfinished.

Alright. I'm technically inept. Could you please tell me in words of one syllible or less what a "blog" is. My education needs furthering! :P

Rob: Click here for a definition of "blog"

 

Here is one of the definitions given:

 

A blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a blog is "blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in cronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominantly.

 

Except mine isn't quite updated daily. More like whenever I have something to say, and mysteriously find time to say it on my blog. I've been "blogging" for quite awhile now, except I've lost a lot of my early "blogs" from either data corruption on the server (happened quite a few times while I was using MovableType), or switching systems. If I recall correctly I started off on Greymatter, then MovableType, then WebApp, and now Pivot.

I'm not sure either, but I understand it's short for "web log" and it's where people post stories about themselves etc. See Faces for an awesome example of a site with blogs! (shameless plug for friend's web site)

faces.com is a cool site, I had a look at it ages ago (when datgirl first put it up), and it had lots of cool features. But if I'm not mistaken the service isn't free.

 

A free popular blogging site is blogger.com, and apparently Google has a blogging tool too.
