Using Short Declarative Sentences:  Many of my posts are beginning to rhyme and I am worried.  My scenery hasn’t changed and I’ve not said anything useful here in some time.  There is a wisdom in humor that comes from novelty and repetition kills that.  I have no immediate fix.  There are other things I’d like to talk about, but I’m not sure about where to put them.  Thinking.

Using Longer Ones:  Authors sometimes refer to echoes of events that seem to span time and space as “rhymes” when some arrangement of elements repeats itself.  To a certain extent, these can tip off a sense of the divine, but to me, when they are recycled bits of the quotidian I find the result soul-deadening as I think the wisdom that is embedded in humor comes from novelty.  There is only so many times I can make a “funny thing that happened with food” post or “here’s something about my attempts to lose weight’ before I feel it becomes just re-used drivel.   I’m not sure if this is something I can fix, but until I do, the quality of posts I try to prevent here will probably drop as the raw material from which they are fashioned decreases in quality.  While I think there is some rich veins to be mined along the archetypes of oddities I encounter, I’m not exactly sure if that’d fit with the tenor of this blog.  Calling myself in-tune in any way with the profound would be an act of either ignorance or arrogance I don’t wish to suffer so what of the rest?  Thinking.

The web client for editing the Playwicki District page is somewhere between pulling teeth and gargling hot-tar.  The response time is best described as glacial despite the web server having a perfectly manageable ping.  40mb of space for a modern multi-media page is a special kind of small where one would be happier with a move of an order of magnitude in either direction.   I started asking other users and found that their experiences were similar but that they had either slow connections or slow computers not helping me isolate causes.  So, I hit Google and had this as my first search result:

doubleknotslow

My experiences with doubleknot have been quite different from that user’s experience.  I wonder if our doubleknot offers a similar services.  Even if it does, I’m still not convinced it’s worth what we pay for it.

I’ve added most of the Daily Highlights archives onto the new site and gaily started copying, pasting, adding a witty title and adding tags to aid in searching.  Around January 07 the titles stop being as sharp and in March 07 I dropped titles totally.  In May 07 I stopped tagging altogether realizing no one will ever search my archives.  In October of 2007 I think I forgot to change the timestamp so there’s probably some month with between 30 and 120 days in it and finally in December of 2007 my cold had progressed to the point that I think I posted some entire entries into the title.  Only the best for my readers.
