Goodbye Universe

Category: — Rory Primrose @ 02:20

Over the last few weeks, I have read a lot of first blog entries by technically minded people. More and more people seem to be getting on this bandwagon. These people seem to do one of two things for their first entry. They either write about themselves and what they want to achieve with the blog (world domination, programming advice etc etc), or they do a 'Hello World' post.

To be honest, I really can't stand the 'Hello World' phenomenon. Am I the only one??? You might think that such a stance would push me to the other side of the fence and talk about what I want to do through this blog. Unfortunately, I don't have much time at the moment so self-centred promotion will have to wait a little........... but I do hope you get something out of this.

Another pet hate of mine is when people get in with the first comment that just says 'First Comment'. Just silly really. Tong

I bet someone is now going to post 'Second Comment'. It would probably be something that http://dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/fredd/" target="_blank" would do.

Can I have this one? Smile

Ooh, while I'm at it, is there any chance you can get it to default the title of a comment to 're: Title of that post above that i'm replying to and don't want to have to a title for'?

When I wrote that, I was thinking you were going to say 'Third Comment', but I didn't want to get on that merry-go-round.

Welcome to the blogosphere Rory!  Now get to brushing up on your C++ skills, there _will_ be a test!  ;)

What do you guys do? Just sit around all day waiting for each other to post? Smile

Basically. We don't post much and that's probably because it takes all day to come up with a good come-back. Smile
