Day 1 - The awakening

I finally made the decision today to start a blog... My partner, if I had one, will certainly know nothing about it, at least not at this early stage.

It is about time you might argue but hey, who can keep up with technology & the web these days?

You have to have uploaded a couple of clips in YouTube; have an account in Facebook or any other social networking site; be LinkedIn; have a personalized google web page with news updates, your email summary and live stock market updates; you must periodically share your pictures online with family and friends (using Flickr, Picassa or Kodak Gallery among others); have your own up to date blog / photoblog; have an online CV and, hey why not? an account in Second Life, ... and this is just for starters. The alternative of course is to have an online presence close to zero and be out of touch with the new reality.

God, this is hard work. Especially if like me, you are a dyslexic 85 year old granny from East Anglia.

That's it for today, I'd better go feed the cat before I call it a day.
Good nite
