Meep
No, even without rumors of my untimely demise, I'm not dead. Just even post I write gets edited into irrelevance before it's even posted. Maybe I should just free-talk off the top of my head more, and not come back and re-read my posts.
While I'm here, new features in my internet life:
Firefox 2.0 The best just got better. With improved protection against the number one threat to your PC. You! Firefox 2 claims to alert you to the fact you've been gullible enough to follow a Phishing link in a badly worded email from a bank you don't have an account with. There are also improvements to the tab system (which was already the "Killer-Feature" for many users. It was the first thing you noticed, and really hated, when going back to tab-less IE6) Read the release notes for a full list.
Google Home I've never felt a particular need to have a Google account, or a Google Personal Start Page (what does the 'ig' stand for anyway?), but I was bored earlier and had a play. This thing is cool! (Like almost everything else Google does, you could probably live without it, but it's ace none the less). The ability to integrate Google Lab's latest net-toy Google Reader (a web-based RSS Reader/syndicator), and Firefox 2.0's ability in turn to integrate with that, is funky in a way perhaps only hardened net-denizens such as myself can really appreciate (set Firefox to use Google, click on the little image on any page with an RRS feed you'd like to subscribe to and it's done - Google Reader will collect new posts from all the feeds into one place, sort them, rate them, mark as read, search them, etc etc. Woo!)
Yeah, sad, I know. And just think - When I started this post it was going to be a discussion on the way I see myself and my relationships with other people. However, I can never seem to properly express what I mean on that subject, or entirely decide what it is I think anyway. I'm so much more comfortable avoiding the topic of myself, and talking about technology, but I'm not so bad that I don't find this fact slightly depressing.
Maybe tomorrow?

Missed you the other night. Where've you been?
Err... yanno, about...
I wasn't particularly aware of being, or not being, anywhere specific for the last few months. Such is the exciting life I lead!
