Five years

Accord­ing to the BBC’s On This Day site, noth­ing mem­or­able of any note or sig­ni­fic­ant his­tor­ical impact happened, er, on this day in the year 2000. Indeed, 15 Octo­ber 2000 was entirely unre­mark­able. Well, it was a Sunday, and noth­ing remark­able hap­pens on Sundays, except per­haps for some bored 29-year-old with time on his hands and a very shaky know­ledge of HTML start­ing one of those new­fangled web­log thing­ummy­bobs. And even that, on a slid­ing scale of remark­able­ness, is about as unre­mark­able as a very unre­mark­able thing after it’s decided that it’s thor­oughly underwhelmed.

I have a head­ache, yet even that dull thud­ding pain is fail­ing to cloud the vague feel­ings of unease that I’ve man­aged to keep this site going for five years, when I’ve not man­aged to keep any­thing else going for that long. Ever. Gosh. You would think that I might have had some­thing bet­ter to do with my time, wouldn’t you?

    five years is a long long long time.

    glad you wrote though. purely selfish of course. I mean I can’t see me sit­ting here, appre­ci­at­ing other sustained-and-running-and-probably-eating-and-growing thing­ummy­bobs that you’ve put your mind [and other things] to.

    which is per­haps a very long twis­ted way of say­ing I’m really glad I found your weblog.
