Oh I forgot the floppies and cds. Yeh little packets everywhere. They were a little bites of history, seeing one now would just hurtle me back in time.

And the hatred it’s been a horrible little march but it feels like that some days. It feels very helpless and learning to step back from being online is a struggle for me. I feel like a real old person.

Any old you fancy. What do you miss?

Beautiful spot i feel honoured to have visited. You can try and hide history but it still exists.

Do you have hobbies? I am gonna research a new lawnmower this weekend too. I excited by that!

Yeh, I miss the eclectic, but rawness of the old stuff. There were some dodgy design choices but it was a great time. The web.2.0 design stuff where everything was a cyan or turquoise mirror bubble look was the next one. Boring but still not the clone like monotonedronefest we see now.

Nothing exciting for me. Been ill half the week and not sleeping so I’ll try catch up on that. How about you?

Yup. I can see it in my head now. Always had a square header with random images squished in.

Kinda agree. Good when smooth, but when bad it’s bad.

I once booked a train months in advance. Got there and the train got cancelled. No notice just not there. I waited in queue for 30 mins. Person told me catch the next one in 1 hour.

I did. The conductor on the train came along and threaten to throw us off as it was not the correct ticket. There was just no rational option.

Otherwise I love the train.

Thanks had a quick scout of them both.

Problem I am finding is lots of people have moved away from blogs etc. Their content is very much insta/facebook/youtube. Which is exactly what I am trying to escape. I want slower interest based content rather than fast picture/video based engagement driven stuff.

I know most people are gonna say sign of the times, but I feel some of the older stuff must exist.

Nice in an ideal world

But just as it’s not a woman’s job to teach men emotional skills, it’s not a gay persons either.

Others can’t keep carrying the burden for this.
