Two point zero can play at this game.

Lost in Space was a really, really, really terrible movie!

Objection!



Also the space age outfits were pretty accurate, for the period:

Grumpy? Great? Gemini?

No, the 1998 movie. From Gary Oldman's hilarious overacting to the production team's complete inability to decide from one minute to the next what technology level humans had, it was just bad all the way through. The fact that the only aliens were a load of clangity spiders, and that the residents of the only planet they visited were themselves, was the sort of cop-out I expected from a Star Trek TV episode.

Besides, if you want to launch something into space using rockets, why would you make it travel flat-side up?

Granted, it cheered me up no end, but sadly not for the right reasons.

That's too easy. I really disliked the overrated "underrated" Moon. Outdated, slow moving SF as the skin for an inferior, boring Frankenstein clone. Perfume, now there's a daring Frankenstein clone.

My theory is that Beardsmore started this blog just to prove it will get more response than a wiki entry about <insert some obscure Alps variant here>.

I will never live up to your lofty erudite standards, webwit.

I enjoyed Moon, but the pacing was a little lax — the film seemed too long for its story, or inadequately developed for its play length. It had the feel of an Arthur C Clarke short story, in which case the film was too long. I can't fault the story, but it could use a fresh cut. (I never made a connection with Frankenstein, but that might be due to my sheer inferiority.)

My theory is that Beardsmore started this blog just to prove it will get more response than a wiki entry about <insert some obscure Alps variant here>.

I have nothing to prove right now. Just restless.

sth: over 200 WPM — not bad. Not bad at all.

"blog 1.0" was Bug of the Moment, but having seen the idiotic, flamey and spammy comments on Mark Russinovich's blog, I specifically chose not to implement comments. (I wrote a comments system for my website—that functioned mainly as the guestbook—but I didn't use it for this as I had no intention of bailing out spam and glowering at flame wars.)

I don't think anyone else has ever linked to it anywhere, ever — I would check periodically to see if any other websites mentioned it, and none ever did, so I gave up with it in the end.

I am just way too boring.

[sth]

i wish i were clever enough to write all those myself, let alone type them up that fast.
that was just a test.
i think we need an akismet plugin or something for our blogs.

Most websites sit in silence, waiting for their big day to come. It is not guaranteed. Build it and they will come? Bollocks. Who are "they" and how do they know you? The Internet is many things but it is still not magic.

The same attention problem exists for actors, books, movies, songs, apps, sites and painters. Really everyone attempting to add something back to the culture with the cheek not to already be known for something, first. Fame is a wicked mistress. All we know are the ones who made it through. How many else could there possibly be out there? As usual, the world is larger than we think.

Flappy Bird is a great example how random popularity can be. Huge success, right? Must have hit the magic formula right on the nose! Wrong. For six months after release it sat there, obscure and tragic, until overnight something happened and it took off to the mightiest victory: a viral fad. What, pray, was this magic? Absolutely no one knows. Someone, somewhere, surely without even awareness, liked it and passed it to a group of like minded simpletons with just the right, random, properties for it to soar away. Who? Can we have his address? Can we have his price? His babies??

Nope. Try harder. Maybe it'll come. Probably not, but maybe.

SEO is the equivalent of hiring a promoter. One who speaks an inscrutable, machine based language, and who doesn't ever seem to actually work. I think I met that guy…

[sth]

i am of the (frankly unimportant) opinion that most SEO practices are bad for the web as we know it... but they don't rank high enough in my real-problems-that-you-can't-just-literally-get-up-and-walk-away-from results for me to spend a lot of time thinking about it.

Since Google's "Panda" updates, SEO is more or less dead. In short, google is now smart enough to catch most tricks, and will penalize sites using them, which makes SEO too dangerous.
