I'm a yesterday person

Internet Sep 4, 2004

Blogging didn’t become widely popular and easy until about 1999, when people started publishing scripts that made it easy and painless for anyone to update a weblog.

says this source. 1999!!!! So why the hell have I waited to use one of those damn scripts until now, the wonderful year of 2004? I mean, I’ve been updating my site via FTP and all that for ages, and nobody told me I could do this much easier? I wrote all that stupid “posted by” stuff manually, trying to give it all a coherent look, and what do other people do? They just type it into a form. Sure, I wondered about the amount of time people must have spent trying to get their postings to look the same, but with my limited knowledge of html, CSS and whatnot, I though they probably just had some top secret script they used for that. And guess what, they all did have a script, only that it wasn’t top-secret but rather accessible to anyone, everywhere. FUCK! Can you say “living under a rock”?
