For some reason or another, this morning – the morning of Tuesday March 30th turned out to be a real nuisance morning for my Internet activities.
First there was the nuisance of full page ads on a number of my favorite technical news sites. Since I was in the process of copying my favorites links from one list to another – the new list wound up with fewer entries because I declined to stay and collect the links that showed the full page ads..
And after that I tried to open what is likely the world’s most favorite blog editor. And that “favored” status is likely to give that blog editor considerable leverage with its users. The blog editor decided I must fill out a form requiring personal information. The form demanded to know what I liked in this category and what I liked in that category. I decided I did not want to tell that form the personal information it demanded. The blog program would not proceed to its editor if the form’s questions were not filled out first.
A man’s castle is his home or is it a man’s home is his castle? Anyway you look at it, it’s beginning to look like the word “castle” and the word “home” are no longer a good fit in the same sentence.
I saw only one alternative/solution to my problem with the blog editor – remove it from my home, my castle and my computer. I no longer have the use of Windows Live writer on my computer. I regret that – but a man’s castle is his home or is it the other way around?
