Hello, Internets. Or should, I say, “Fucking Internets”?
I’ve been away from ill-literati.org. Not by choice, necessarily. I’ve been very busy with attempting to get up for work at 4:30 am, coming home and spending time with the Kid and trying to get other things done.
In other words, I’m tired all of the time, and I whine incessantly about it.
Work has cracked down on internets usage, and I’m no longer hidden in my “area”. So all of my internets happens through twitter on my BlackBerry, which is why to some people, it appears that I am on the Internets all of the time.
Good news is that work is getting to the point where it will be less intrusive. Bad news is that, I soon won’t have my kid to keep me occupied in the afternoon evening. She’ll be moving back to Florida with her mom after the end of the school year.
Which sucks. I’d rather not have the more time that will give me. But at least I can bitterly take that away with me.
Internets Projects have been reinstated. And I’ll start sharing them now. But don’t bother checking them out yet. Unless you really want to.
ShatterCity.com is now mostly operational. It’s down to design and opening it up and getting people to sign up. It’s designed to be a local destination for people here in the Mid-Hudson Valley to share news about music, art and other local happenings, current events, etc. I’m using WordPress MU, with BuddyPress for the social networking end of it (yes, just what people need, another social network) and bbPress for the groups/forums. It’s also something I’m hoping to eventually monetize with local advertsing or something along those lines. Especially if it gets large, because I’ll likely have to find myself alternate webhosting solutions that will cost me some larger coin.
The other project which is currently in a state of more than early development is fuckinginternets.net. This is based on my new meme which was created by my constant swearing and talking about the internets on twitter. Apparently, the two most frequent words I used to casually use on twitter were “fucking” and “internets”. Now their use is more than casual. I don’t know what the core of fuckinginternets will be. The idea is likely to be a blog about things on the internets that make one say: “Fucking internets!” But I’ll also be selling some merchandise on that one. Fucking Internets t-shirts and shit like that with cute innuendo-laden graphics. Will probably start out using cafepress or some such fucking internets service like them to produce the merch.
Lame-ass project with potential if I ever get around to it, is a NetFlix user site that won’t be discussed further at this time. Shouldn’t have mentioned it, actually. Shut mah mouf.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I missed you, fucking internets. And I look forward to sharing more shit with you soon.
Laters,
AB
