The internet? Oh please

I've just realised that I suck at all things related to the internet in the last ten years. I don't use my twitter, I'm bored stiff of facebook, if I want to check any blogs/news sites I look manually all the time, I never put anything on flickr/youtube/last.fm/xfire... the list goes on! It seems I'm still stuck in the internet of the 1990s. I don't even blog!

At work I've been writing a program (and learning to code at the same time, incidentally) that will loop through all the many many paintings we have in our digital library and spit out HTML pages for each one. How old-fashioned does that sound?! It'd make a lot more sense to upload the data to a MySQL database and use PHP to dynamically generate the pages and indexes, along with some magic to give it nice URLs.

I say I never blog anymore, and I say that I never have the time, or I never have anything interesting to blog about. Well, anyone that knows me knows that they are both blatant lies! I actually have lots of ideas on things to blog about, but usually I either can't be bothered to write about them or realise that nobody on the internet would care in the slightest about what I was going to write. I also realised today that I have an incredibly boring life that involves getting up in the morning, going to school/work, coming home in the evening and watching TV/sitting in front of the computer/reading something mildly interesting. No wonder I get tired a lot, I should go parachuting or white water rafting more often! I also intend to do a lot of things, or have the ambition of doing a lot of things, but rarely do any of them, mainly because I'm such a shy person.

Well there, that's a new post written - perhaps to get myself to write more (side note, when I write myself I keep ending up writing mysql automatically D:) I should write down what topics I want to blog on the subject of. So far the list contains AI and human-computer interaction, inspired by the hubbub Milo caused the other week, and Spotify, which really doesn't need explaining. There just needs to be a law passed to say that everyone should get it.
