Don’t Put a CATing Button There

June 21st, 2007 8 comments

If you don’t want me to CATing press it!

catI’m going to have a hard time keeping this one clean so I’m going to type it like I think it and replace all the bad words with CAT. FYI

CATing computers and their CATing peripherals. I spent all God CAT morning CATing with this CATing podcasting equipment. Why? Well, I wanted to call Clint. And I need my mic. But when I went to make the call, I noticed I couldn’t hear anything. So I go into trouble shooting mode. Here’s the process:

You know when you are so angry…

You just don’t know where to begin or end? I’ve got a post written. A long one. About a page and a half single spaced in Word sitting on my desktop (unsaved I might add). I’ve been working on it for a couple of hours (I know, hours?) but I just can’t make it work. The problem is that it is about 4 issues all rolled into one. I’m just generally bitter right now about a few things and I can’t seem to separate them all out into different topics. Plus, I’m trying to keep my post count down so that Clint feels like he has a chance to catch up 😉 . Seriously, it sounds whiny even for me and I just can’t seem to make it flow in a way that works. So what am I gonna do?

I was catching up on my webcomics (bring it on Dina, I don’t care) and I came across this thread. Now, I follow that comic but I don’t ever post in the forums. I was just there to see why there hadn’t been an update recently (I still don’t know). Now, as J can attest and I’m sure Clint and Gene know intimately, the Internet sucks. It sucks because there is no gatekeeper. Over at Newsweek or Time or your local paper, there are people whose job it is to sift through the hate mail in order to pick out the one or two “representative” examples for print. But on the Internet it is nothing but criticism all the time. Sure, you occasionally get the pat on the back but for every one of those you deal with 10 “you’re a freakin’ idiot, you don’t know what you’re doing, you’re a disgrace to your profession, your gender, and the entirety of the human race,” comments. If you knew how many people take valuable time (some of these emails must take hours to write) to tell me everything I’m doing wrong, you’d just die.
