Nostalgia: first post after a long break

Ok, so firstly, my god it’s been a while internet, I’ve missed you.

I’ve managed to build self indulgent blogs, wannabe comments, flickr profiles, facebook profiles, lame profiles, web design businesses, rubbish affiliate sites and hilarious attempts at pushing the boundaries of xml (in 2004! and funnier when you read the XSL).  Watch out, half of them only work in ie.

Now it’s just me.

Just this blog, and crikey things have really moved on. The flourishes and fandango of the .com boom are long gone. 2.0 is boring. Finally content, clarity of purpose and dare i say it, cynicism have taken over.

The web wants the sausage rather than the sizzle, the revenue rather than the traffic. Crumbs, at least the bandwidth costs’ll come down. This blog’s here to talk about my experiences over the past few years working on the web, trying to make sense of insoluble business models, hilarious decrees and the ridiculous amount of ground we’ve all covered in these short years.

So there’s my first post, i guess at least it beats Hello World
