So is a blog posting about a blog a metablog?
I'm just not entirely sure what I should write here, and so I think I've settled on the idea of writing about what I should write here.
So firstly, I hate the word "Blog", but not as much as "Journal" or "WebLog", so I'm sticking with it for now. As soon as I come up with a better term, I'll start using it.
Secondly, should I consider an audience when writing a "blog" entry? I mean, I can hardly pretend that this is somehow a space for my private thoughts, and after all, if I wanted that, then I'd keep a diary*. So, whatever I'm writing, it has to be assumed that other people are going to read it. So does this fact alter what I chose to write up here? Do I feel, for example, more compelled to entertain? To enliven or interest? I certainly don't plan on any spill-my-guts honesty, because, and lets face it, if I was going to do that, then I'd sure as hell not do it in front of 10s of millions of strangers.
Nor do I really think this is a place to indulge in second rate poetry and hacky prose (not that I don't indulge in general, you understand, just not here)
So I guess whats left is occassional musings, thoughts and rants, which I guess is what a blog should be.
Given all that, what else is there left to know that is important to this:
1) I have owned the domain name www.wayoutwhere.com for over a year without actually getting webspace to use it with. I mean to very soon, which is why this is a Blog for a website that doesn't yet exist
2) I work at Cable & Wireless UK. You know those movies that are so bad they're funny? That's exactly like my working life.
3) I'm 27 a week tomorrow
