About

Since each of my six weblogs use the same templates if I want to add something to one or two I need to add it to all. I’m writing “about” pages for each weblog. They’ll let me deal with frequent questions, attacks, comments by pointing someone to a page when the topic is something I’ve grown weary of repeatedly redefining for strangers. Of minimal use for this weblog.

This is a first draft only.

Computer Toaster FAQ

Why do you call it Computer Toaster?
Computers have gone from being uncommon devices used by an elite to something as commonplace as a kitchen appliance. I’d hoped to have an image of an old toaster connected to the web or morphed in a PC but have the graphics talent of a rodent.

Why is this here?
Why weblog?

But why keep a weblog like this, you aren’t a wizard?
The only sane reason for having a weblog is your pleasure in it. Aside from that it helps me remember what I’ve done. And I often consult my own links to sites that I find helpful. The links are independent of the bookmarks in the various browsers I use and I can look at them from anywhere.

You can’t really be an atheist, nobody can.
Sigh. Read the Gullibility FAQ.

What do you do for a living? Who would employ somebody like you?
I would. I own a used bookshop.

It was damn rude of you to not answer my comment or email.
Perhaps the comment didn’t seem addressed to me personally. Or any assent or disagreement I felt was too mild to evoke a response. I answer almost every email that isn’t from a ‘phobe or a crank. Perhaps it didn’t arrive or got caught by my spam filter.

You deleted my comment you bastard!
You might’ve tried to save my soul, called me a faggot without being one yourself or your comment might’ve been misplaced. I don’t know why some people think this is a dating service.

Why another links weblog?

I either lose my collections of links when I setup a new machine, need them when I’m at a different machine or let them become too chaotic to use. Movable Type will let me organize them as easily as anything else I can think of and maybe somebody will run across something they need here.
