Tomorrow is the seventh anniversary of this weblog. I remember back in the early days the “recently updated” list on the Blogger homepage had vast stretches of time in between each update and it was so exciting for the Blogger team when those stretches of time disappeared and the updates were constant. Weblogging is so popular now that I often wonder why I still do it. Am I really adding any value to the overpopulated WWW? But then I remember I do this for myself. It keeps me writing which was the original goal. It’s brought me into global communities of interesting people. And it amazes me that there is always something interesting to share.

Thank you for reading, thanks for the emails, and special thanks to the secret cabal.

And I have to mention that the first product I ever linked to still exists and the website remains active, unlike many of the old links that have decayed with time. So here it is again: BitBoost’s Pawsense detects cats walking on your keyboard, makes “a sound that annoys cats” and blocks further input by putting up a dialog box that reads “CAT-LIKE TYPING DETECTED”. It’s a classic weblog link indeed.
