Mental handicap
General February 22nd, 2005
When I’m browsing around the Internet and I find things that interest me, it’s not uncommon for me to bookmark them (either locally or to del.icio.us) or to email them to myself. I send newsgroup posts to my email alot if I want to followup on them outside of the newsgroup thread – visit a website, contact someone, etc. I guess the main reason I do that is it’s easier to track in my email – once a message is marked as read, it’s not always as easy to find in a discussion. So I mail them to me and move on.
And then I hear the new mail noise and I excitedly go check my inbox. (Face it, if I’m reading newsgroups I’m looking for the “mental escape” or “smokebreak.”) Then I’m disappointed when it’s just an email from me. That I sent 30 seconds ago. And immediately forgot doing.
And I do this all the time. I must be handicapped.
More to come soon – been very busy with work. I’ve turned off trackbacks on the site because I’m tired of the spam. Must look into upgrading to WP1.5 soon and see if its tools are better.
PS. Bill Self’s recruiting class is doing excellent for us – undefeated with twenty-seven wins. I wonder if he ever regrets leaving….
