I beg to differ altho what I have gained from this blogs is a 1,000,001 ideas about what to do with my old linux machines. That alone keeps me coming back to see what you’ve discovered.

I think you sell yourself short. Your blogs are to the point and interesting. Take your blog on rtorrent for example, that was exactly what I needed. You taught us about a prog we may not have been aware of before and you gave us the basics of how to use use it and reasons why we should bother.

Stephen Fry (their poster boy) has quite a funny Twitter feed. I am not witty, and i cant think of interesting stuff to to say regularly so i do not really tweet myself ^^

You’re WRITING. There’s no need for a special term for it. Some people like to read what you write — does that sound odd? Credentials and expertise don’t have to enter into it.

“Tweeting” is not writing, it’s slapdash scribbling.

I’ve joined Twitter and while I found it ridiculous for a long time, I’m now finding it useful.

Instead of texting or calling my friends and family, we keep in touch through Twitter and save a lot of money. It’s kind of like a distributed SMS system, but for free (we don’t use SMS to update Twitter here, it’s just silly to do so). It’s especially good for me, as I hate making calls.

I have a family member who is in a somewhat famous band (it’s going on a tour to the US next April), and we’ve been keeping in touch mostly through Twitter. I’ll know where he’s playing, how the gig went, if his flight’s delayed, etc.

Now, the thing is… I communicate through Haiku. With just 140 characters, I found it better to be a little creative.

The problem with it is that some people exaggerate. I don’t wanna know when someone’s taking a wee, for example. Then again, I would never let someone like that enter my circle in Twitter.

It’s useful when used the right way, just that.
