I was reading yesterday

Well, that's not a surprise, is it?! Not, I was reading yesterday a piece in some paper or another (possibly in The Observer) that blogging was a strange thing, and that the author didn't know why people wanted to write an in-line diary. The implication was that it was OK to provide a series of on-line links, but not OK to publicise one's thoughts.

So, I was thinking about this. I have no illusions that vast numbers of people read this blog, and that kind-of isn't the point. If I write it for anyone it's for me, and it's all very well to say that paper and pen were good enough for many people, but we aren't in that world any more, and I find it easier (and quicker) to do this on a computer. Plus, I don't have to lug a diary around with me all the time, but just have access to a computer. As for saying things one shouldn't about people, well, maybe that's just good discipline, and teaches one not to bitch and gossip. Oh. I think I may have failed on that one. Never mind!
