fuzmeister: Hey-oh, fixed posting functionality

---

Not sure where the streams were originally crossed, but I seem to have got posting functionality working again.

Deleting posts is another story... one step at a time. ;)

fuzmeister: Another New Year

---

The more the years go on, the less Vent is being actively used - Just a little new year observation.

Why not make a resolution to post more frequently? Seems more realistic than other resolutions... then again...

fuzmeister: New Vent Theme

---

I got bored and decided to mess around with some CSS.

I'm not sure the rounded corners will work in older browsers, but I'm definitely digging this.

Mood: Visually Pleased

fuzmeister: Post #805

---

So I've been on this site on and off for almost nine and a half years. Relative to the entire lifespan of the internet, that's quite a while!

I was just rereading some old entries from years ago and a lot of stuff has changed. I like reading bits where I talk about my now-wife in girlfriend terms. I also like seeing how my ambitions have changed and certain, older ones have withered and died.

I was just commenting this morning to a co-worker how I'd like to see a study done that measures the psychological health effects of people who are entrenched in a lifestyle of constantly using technology (AKA everyone this day in age).

I think that why I quit Facebook. I think after six years of using their site, they had me roped in psychologically. I would feel an almost primal urge to check the site anytime I opened a new browser window. Why? Conditioning probably. Who knows? I'm not saying it isn't good for some people, just not for me.

Anyway, I like Ventilation. I think microblogging (like twitter) and social networking sites have all but killed the activity around here over the past two or three years. It's ok - I'll still be here when you all get back.

fuzmeister: Do You Realize??

---

I'm about one year and three months or so away from my first Vent post. I believe it was July 4, 2002.

It was amongst the now-deleted posts I removed in 2004. So if you want to get nitpicky, I'm still a few years from my tenth anniversary on Vent.

I don't want to get nitpicky though - not one bit.
