Rumour control

May 31, 2009

Years ago I was a huge net-surfer. I even created a StumbleUpon account to organize it all. Then I got bored with large portions of the Internet, and gave up StumbleUpon, but I always left my account hanging in space, just in case I ever came back to it. That is, until this year, when I finally decided to close it down. So what happens a few weeks after I pull the trigger? I start surfing again, a lot. Way too much. It allows me to escape my enormous to-do list. I actually debated not making this particular update until OpenSet reached the fourth terrace, but frankly, who knows when that'll be?

Now that I think about it, the fifth terrace is more appropriate: the avaricious dwell there in punishment. In my surfing I tend to collect bunches of bookmarks, especially of things I want to buy, like books and apparel, and they're all just a big jumble. Since I refuse to open another SU account (I had some prime realestate that was quickly snatched up after I let it go), and since I'm already sitting on an unused domain, and have been nudged to do something else besides infrequently update OpenSet.org...Sorry, that sentence kinda ran away from me.

The point is, I started a new blog of links to apparel I've collected on my tireless surfing trips to organize them and present something to the world which I can update more often. I haven't attached it to the domain yet, but you can currently see it on BlogSpot. Yes, can you believe I'm finally going to do something with this domain from, what, 2007?

As for my wishlist of books, they are already reasonably well organized at Amazon.

I cut back on my book purchases rather successfully as I'm approaching about 1200 titles, and now I want to buy more and more clothes, especially shoes and T-shirts. Where will it end? I should just face up to it: I'm fucked.

Somewhat recently, OpenSet.org left ante-Purgatory, and finally hiked up to the first terrace. There he will remain for some time yet. Slow and steady.

Greetings. OpenSet.org is in Purgatory for the sin of having me as a webmaster. One day it will be back in full force, but reincarnated into a different form. For the moment however, you won't be able to use the old RSS/Atom feeds since this is a static page. That's right, I'm editing it by hand. My new domain will probably act as my personal blog. It's not ready yet, but in keeping with the early-to-mid-90s style of this page, I ask you to stay tuned to this space.
