Long time no (proper) update.
Well I'm thinking pointlessness in its present form may have reached the end of its life. My desire to maintain a full website like this seems to have ended while less traditional stuff like new Twitter account seems to be doing pretty good. Even my webcam is suddenly working, as is best demonstrated by my blip.tv account (it's not on my YouTube account because of a long-standing conversion problem YouTube haven't fixed yet), the only problem being poor software support on Linux. Despite that, I expect to at least do something with my video sharing accounts.
Of course, that leaves pointlessness. Which I'm still not sure what to do with. Twitter is proving great for short statements, and I think blip.tv/YouTube would be the best place for most of the longer-length commentaries I like to make sometimes. Which makes me think pointlessness may best serve as a hub for what's going with the above accounts and place anything best said in text but too long for Twitter. I also have a secret project on the go which would definitely be suited to pointlessness if it ever reaches release.
Still, I need to clean up pointlessness first. I think that'll be a job for early June.
Well, I've not been doing a whole lot here as of late. My lack of motivation returned with a vengeance, meaning I've been spending my time on books, manga, and Aria the Natural instead.
I certainly didn't miss the election thought. I ended up voting for the Liberal Democrats, as I did in 2005, but the Conservative won in the Staffordshire Moorlands constituency, meaning my vote was meaningless. One question to David Cameron: Why don't you want my vote to count? Why don't you want the votes of LibDem voters in Labour/Tory-dominated constituencies to have any effect on elections? How is that consistent with 'Big Society'?
Anyway, I'm back because of BakaBT. The site is currently down due to a DDoS, the attacker apparently keeping it up because they want BakaBT to take information about them off the site. Hence, BakaBT's staff have posted their story on Blogspot and asked others with sites to mirror it as much as possible so the information is spread too far and wide for any DDoS attack to suppress it. I approve of this.
So, How to save an Internet community can now be found among my articles. It's pretty much verbatim from the original (the only change I've made being the coding and one minor spelling correction), I assume the original to be released under the public domain, my changes certainly are. As is stated in the article, if you find this and have a blog or website, mirror it there too.
