Blogging is silly

I’ve decided that blogging is silly.

I’ve spent the better part of my ‘down time’ (that’s the microsecond it takes to save a BBEdit file) deciding what to “blog” today.

I don’t want to become one of those nerdy bloggers who spend all day coding and then all night writing about that days coding. I don’t really want to tell the world that my new routine for stripping non-ASCII characters has the ability to take over the world because quite frankly that’s dull. And boring.

I don’t want to post tech news and then add my own witty comments because there are enough blogs out there that cater for that niche market and again, I find tracking the latest version of PHP rather boring and no one wants to hear my repertoire of Java jokes. “Knock knock.”, “Who’s there?”, “Compile Error”.

See. Told you so.

I also don’t want to post about my daily life. That works for some people and it’s great to hear about their taste in music (Radiohead, Coldplay, Keane, etc) and their wonderfully amusing pets (Dog called Barney) and how awesome their life is - because that’s pretty dull too.

So what shall I write about? Actually - complaining about having nothing to write about is pretty fun. Maybe there is a niche market for slightly grumpy web developers who like to blog about having nothing to blog about.
