Blogosphere inanities, etc.

Well, for almost a week, the Blogosphere Ecosystem has been fragged. It is not like this is the first time such has happened, because, if I remember right, we just went through this ordeal a week or so ago. Now, I am not ragging too hard on NZB, mainly because I have no idea how hard it is to set up what makes the system work. Additionally, I have no idea what is going on in NZB's life, and maybe there is a good reason he has let such dilemma slip through his fingers. And, he was doing it without any kind of compensation. Still, it was such a great idea, and so many people were enjoying watching how they moved up, and sometimes down, on the evolutionary ladder, I am so disappointed not being able to check my status each morning. There really seems to be nothing else like it anywhere else. Sure you can check Technorati to see who is linking to you and everything, but I never seem to find how I compare to other blogs out there. To me, that is the best part of the Blogosphere Ecosystem listing, being able to see not only how I am doing, but also how others are doing.

In other news, my internet connection has decided to be super sucky today, so who knows how often I will be able to get anything posted. Hopefully things will clear up at some time, but I have had whole days where it seemed impossible to do anything on the Internet. The bad part is that I have 51 emails waiting on the server, and 31 downloaded on the last attempt, but somehow the mail server did not get the message, so if I ever get it to download, I will have at least 31 duplicates, provided the same scenario does not reoccur several more times. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Current speed shown: 21.6Kps

I had one other thought, but the synapses rerouted it to some area that I cannot locate currently. Oh, it came to me. I just noticed now that I actually was seeing my blog showing to be updated on people's blogrolls, I have actually not had as many problems with pinging blogrolling.com. They actually are going through the first time, which never happened before.

Hey, it was only a list and didn't have any possums and snakes and pond scum and olympians. I need evolutionary aspirations. Oh well, maybe I will just imagine that I have the most popular blog in the world and that no one else gets an average of 200 hits a day. ;)

I hate it when my synapses reroute.....

But the Myelin thing hasn't been updated in MONTHS, although Phil promises to update it one of these days.

I just wonder if we can ever expect NZB to get back to work on what he begun! The withdrawal symptoms are not that easy to deal with.
