keeping up with the cyber-joneses
It’s so hard to keep up with the cyber-joneses, these days. I mean, it’s hard enough to keep your blog’s content fresh with all your day-to-day musings, your completely original political stirrings, and favorite song of the week (it’s my: livejournal’s mood: somber, song: dashboard confessional), let alone make sure your content-management-system of the week (be it, movabletype, wordpress, or any other wiki-type tool) is up to date, with the latest plug-ins, spam-blasters, and tools-you-can’t-live-without. And, lest your php installation falls behind, and have you updated mysql recently, or apache, or (gasp) your kernel? You mean, you’re still using Fedora Core 2? Oh my. Quick, apt-get/yum and force update everything, pray you’re not going to have to read through the logs and join 3 mailing lists to find out why your installation is hung, and then curse open-source (only under your breath though)!
OK, so while you’re updating everything, make sure that you’re fullying utilizing your technorati tags (and pinging technorati regularly), while folksonmizing (ooooh did I invent the verbage form of folksonomy?) and making your bookmarks are available on del.icio.us and oh my gosh, your flickr blog and mo-blog needs the pictures from that party last night! And oh my, all those invites from friends on <insert-Yet-Another-Social-Networking-Site here> are waiting for your approval! Your social networks are waning, your e-mail needs checking, and it’s time to blog-roll all your friend’s blogs….
sigh…. those cyberjoneses!
