1000 Views - Thank You

I haven't posted in a while.  I'm neither going to explain why or apologize for it.  I don't have to.  And sometimes I even wonder if anybody is reading this.

According to the stats there have been 1000 views on this blog.  That theoretically means that that 1000 people have read what I wrote, 1 person has read the blog 1000 times, or any other permutations of the factors of 1000.  I'm not sure how many of those views (if any) are my views.  This complicates the stats even more.

But however it goes, if you are reading this right now, thank you for reading, and if you made any of the 1000 views of this blog in my stats before I started writing this post, thank you.

I'm going to bed.

Last night I was so tired, I started getting ready for bed at 10:00 and was in bed by 11:00.  That is truly amazing for me, because usually I get to bed between 2:00 and 4:00 am.  I went to bed without doing a blog post.

Tonight, I almost didn't do a blog post either.  It's just after midnight, and although for me it's early I'm going to bed early again.

My mother and I have been listening to another J.A. Jance book.  Maybe listening to her, makes us tired, my mother joked.  I don't know.  Maybe.

And maybe it's just that the act of listening, and colouring is more relaxing than watching youtube videos, writing blog posts, or reading websites.  It's strange.  Maybe the article I read a long time ago that said screen time should be limited to bedtime had a point?  I don't know.

I do know, that right now, I have a stomach ache, and I don't feel like sitting up doing anything.

And as strange as it is for me to go to bed so early, I'm going to be heading there very soon.  Going to sleep....  Well that's another matter.  Right now I'm reading a very good book, and if I get sucked into it, like I did 2 days ago, I might end up reading all night long again.  I actually hope not because tomorrow I have to take my mother to the doctor and I want to be able to be awake while I'm driving.

A rant about computers

It's that time to blog again.  11:39 pm.  And I had no idea what tomorrow's blog post would be.

Until now...

My computer had started downloading an update without me agreeing to it.  There was a reason I didn't agree to let it download: my computer isn't working 100%.  It's acting slowly, and I think it might be because I have too much stuff on it.  I bought an external hard drive, and I fully intend to put things from this computer onto the external hard drive, but I haven't done it yet.

I really don't think this computer, at this time, has enough memory to do any updates at all.  It's just too full.

And yet, here it is, asking me nightly if it can update.  And here I am telling it "no", and then it goes and does it anyway.

Who programmed these computers to be so demanding?  Isn't the point of having a computer, a being that is not alive, and has no purpose beyond doing what I want it to, to do just that, do what I want it to do?  Why does it have needs, and wants beyond what I want?  And why does it have the ability to disobey and download updates anyway?

That is bad programming, and it's annoying me right now.

And that's my rant.

I've made a new page & explaining the sidebar.

Here, where your reading, this sentence right here.  Take a minute to move your eyes over to the left. See the maroon background with the beigish writing, that's the sidebar.

In that side bar, the first thing written is pages.  Under neither that is, Home, About Me, Related Posts and Comment Policy.  Related Posts.  That's the new page.  And if you click on that, you will find all of my posts, listed in topic categories.  If you liked one of my posts in one category, you might like the other posts in those categories.  And that's my new page.

While I'm here, I might as well continue explaining the sidebar.

Under neither the pages bit, is Blog Archive.  That's created by blogger, and it's a list of every post I've made, sorted by date.  If you click on the downward faces arrows you will see more choices, and if you click on the left facing arrows you will see less choices.

Below that is Follow by Email.  If you put your email address into that box, and push return, you'll be directed through the process of following me by email.  When you're done, you'll get an email of each and every post I make, when I make it.

Under that is "Please Subscribe"  You can follow my posts, or follow the comments on particular posts.

Under that is "Email Me".  If you fill that form in, I will get your message sent directly to me, through email.  And I might even respond to your email.  Actually I most likely will, providing it's polite.

Thanks for reading this, and I'll see you again tomorrow.

First Post - second round

This is my very first post on my new blog.  As of now, I can't even remember my blogs name.  Strange huh.

Oh ya, it's Ink Spot 7.  It's been a long night, and Ink Spot 7 wasn't my first choice.  It wasn't even my 21st choice.  Oh well.  That's what it is, and that's what it wills stay.

I've been trying to create a blog for hours.  I watched youtube videos on the different blog platforms, watched videos that weren't anything about blogs (they kinda just popped up in the youtube suggestion list and looked interesting), started a blog on another blog platform and deleted it, and well after hours here I am.  And my blog is working.

Well I don't even know what it will look like on the first post.

Wish me luck.
