First of all, to tell you that I am extremely fond of the weblogging community, and that two years is too short a time to post among such excellent and admirable writers. I don't read half of you half as often as I should like; and I link less than half of you half as often as you deserve.
Secondly, to celebrate my blogday. Thank you very much for reading my little website.
Thirdly and finally, I wish to make an announcement. I regret to announce that — though, as I said, two years is far too short a time to maintain this site — this is the end. I am going. I am leaving now. Good-Bye!
Two years ago today (scroll down), I started my first weblog over at Pitas. Later, I moved my site here and switched to Blogger, but that Pitas site was my introduction to the world of keeping a weblog. It may not have meant much to anyone else, but I've had a lot of fun doing it. By the way, I'll have a major announcement to make later today.
(By the way, congrats to Rob Bender who started blogging one day before I did.)That's right, a questionable privacy decision in a Microsoft product helped expose a pro-Microsoft astroturfing campaign.Several of the voters evidently followed a link contained in an email, the subject line of which ran: "PLEASE STOP AND VOTE FOR .NET!" We know this, because our logs include the Web address where visitors browsed from; when people click there from a Microsoft Exchange email message, Exchange helpfully gives us the subject line and username. The people who followed that link all had email addresses in the microsoft.com domain.
