These are a few of my faorite things

I'm working on a personal software project at the minute as in took a b reak to write this post. It's saturday night and i decided to take a few hours on my own to finally start this project I'e wanted to get started on for ages . As I sat down to begin coding a music download finshed proiding my a night of new music to listen to while I code and let my thoughts drift.

I do love nights like this . From time to time I think it's good for the head to get away from everyone in the world not to mention flexing my under used development muscle and remind myself that I really enjoy what I do for a living .

I've spent my night between coding, googling for help with stuff, playing guitar, and doing internet stuff like twittering and blogging. That brings me to another point.

I've disccvoered that I'm an internet snob ! Honestly I know it wrong and i'm delighted so many poeple have been turned onto the internet (and tech in general) by things like social networking, Ipods, and cd burning but I was here first !

I started using the computers back in 1994 using an old Dos computer. I started using the internet a couple of years later in maybe 1996 - 97. Thats not even that long ago I hae friends (Pete) who remember using 28kb modems I wonder how many friends on my facebook hae even used a Dial-up network.

I think what annoys me is that so much of the sense of exploration has been taken out of the internet and computers in general. Back in the day Eerytime I went online I never knew where I was going . I didn't hae a bunch of emails saying "hey check this site out". I went the Yahoo (pre-google days) and searached for stuff and sometimes I struck gold. I remeber downloading my first MP3 on the dodge it took 45 min and downloading 2 at a time would crash your 232mhz beast .

Now-a-days eerything is on a plate, my friends are on bebe - so they neer find blogging, i chat on facebook/MSN so they neer find meebo/digsby, the funnt sites are on digg/faillol etc so they never go looking they google asnwer and find them or gie up so they never find messageboards.

In summary I welcome the newcomers but I say explore it's a big place to those who'e here before it was cool I'm glad there still large parts of the internet that belong to us .
