Established 1999...
Omigod. I completely forgot my weblogging birthday on Saturday. This site has now been going for a full four years and two days. Four years and two days of almost daily pre-fabricated, disposable weblogging goodness. That's one thousand four hundred and sixty three days since I started weblogging. Worse still - that's three thousand nine hundred and forty nine posts. An average of 2.7 posts per day. Dear God. When will it end? Will I never tire of writing this crap? In twenty years, will I have an Established 1999 sign out front? Will I be in total information capturing mode as I'm shoved into an old folks home? Will there be a bloody keyboard in my grave? Will the first thing that happens in Atheist Heaven be that some crotchetty old bastard with a toothless smile hands me an ethereal laptop with spiritual-fidelity wireless soulnet access before demanding that I write something pithy about halos?

Well happy weblogging birthday.

Happy (weblog) Birthday!
If you had started it one day earlier, you could have shared my birthday (the real one that is not my weblog one).

Happy birthday to your weblog, then. :)
I hope you blog from heaven one day. Then maybe I in Atheist Hell can still read it...
Cheers!

Dude I'm doing a rebuild from scratch to weed out crap old versions of pages that shouldn't exist any more! Give it half an hour and it should all work again...

No, on the way to Atheist Heaven some crotchety guy will point out to you the days you were too busy to blog. . . .

Considering your writing style it's unlikely to be pithy. Verbose maybe.
No offense old fruit. Keep it up.

I'm looking forward to your halos post already :)

I can do pith. I choose not to.

Tom darling, you'll be the crotchety old guy handing out the kit ... that's why we read you and that's why we love you.

Halli hallo. Very complimento for your site.
I think you should visit the blog.site of a great and intelligent friend of mine, his name in his weblog is erre (it comes from R, ROberto farneti; http://robertofarneti.blog.tiscali.it/), I hope that you interact with us, in english obviously. You will find new ideas, new experiences in our reality, I am so sorry that you probably do not understand our language, you loose some wisdom contained in our comments. But we can make up for, don't worry and be happy.
On the right side of the screen you have: calendario: if you choose Ottobre, you find a picture of me when I was 21, I looked very sad that time, nobody can recognize me in that state, I've been always laughing and still do it (ex. http://www.vjo.it/053/regola.htm).
I hope you enjoy us soon, just ask something difficult to Roberto Farneti and Gianluca Perseo, a problem in your life, an alternative to your routine, just ask that we decide together how to give the best answer for you and we will do it.
If we really can, than you got it. Roberto doesn't know that I'm writing to you to involve you or exchange our two realites.
Enjoy yourself.
