Happy Australia Day

January 26th, 2010 Chris No comments

Australian FlagHappy Australia Day everyone. The day were we all take a day off work and celebrate the landing of the first fleet on the shores at Port Jackson in 1788.

Usual celebrations often involve getting together with friends for drinks and a BBQ, and later on going and watching the local fireworks, though this year, I’m working for a few hours over lunch, then heading home to the BBQ with friends that my wife organised.

Sweetcron

April 2nd, 2009 Chris Comments off

So I’ve been having a little play around with Sweetcron earlier today. So far I’m pretty impressed with it, except that I’ll have a bit of work to do in terms of styling, but that’s ok. This is what I have so far. Tell me what you think.

The point being?

What is the point of a blog these days? Unless you are an important person, tech person, or something else along those lines, there doesn’t seem to be much point these days. I personally use Facebook, twitter and flickr as my main source of social interactivity. For that matter, what is the point of even having your own website? I’m finding it harder each day to justify this blog. I’m not kind of person that can write a blog post about random things, just things that relate to me, and my everyday life, but if you want to know about that, then Facebook and twitter will do there.

So, now I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. Do I stop blogging? What am I going to do with this site? There is a part of me that wants to keep this blog alive, mainly due to the fact that it has given me a heap of exposure to web design, and further insight in CSS and PHP. One thought about saying bye is that very few people (if any) visit this site these days. Sure I still get a tonne of traffic to two very old posts, but that is it.

If anyone still reads this blog, what are your thoughts on having a blog these days?
