Silly Blogger

Silly Blogger:- A view of Blogging by Derek Spencer.

When Barnaby sent me an e-mail asking if I wanted to contribute to Light My Fire, I thought yea! Sounds like a good idea to me. Then I get an e-mail inviting me to contribute as a blogger, well call me simple but I have a mental blog when it comes to technology, I can just about cope with e-mail but what is this blogging? It's simple said the e-mail just type in your e-mail address and enter your password.
Which password? I try one of the several hundred that I have used over the past 2 weeks for various things, (surely there will come a point when all the words in the world are used up and the internet will crash because no one will be able get in.) So I click the box that says "forgotten your password?" I'm sure the friggin think smirked at me, "Over 50?" it sniggered. Forgotten my password? I can't even remember what I had for breakfast. Two hours later, after I had retrieved the computer from the garden, yes I chucked it out of the window, don't tell me you have never contemplated this, I finally managed to bring up the screen that I am typing into now. It is strangely liberating typing somthing when you have no idea whether anyone else in the world will ever use it. I try to imagine it turning up in the INBOX of a Tibetan goat herd and wondering what she would make of it.

Actually I am now thinking what's the bloody point of this, cos the technology is bound to let me down.

So here's the deal; I'm going to try to figure out which button to press and if it works you may hear from me again if not......oh shit the screens gone blank.

Hello......anyone still there? Who was that famously said? "it's an honour to follow Nick Shelley." For once, I did follow Nick Shelley.
Okay Barnaby.... this is another fine blog you've gotten me into.
