Journal shadowbearer's Journal: Last Post 13

Journal by shadowbearer

I have my own reasons for this.

  Been thinking about this for a while.

  Thanks to those who made me their friends; thanks for the conversations; thanks for the funnies.

  I'm moving on. There's too much else to do.

  Feels like I'm trying to quit an addiction :)

  Those of you who know me, know how to get a hold of me. You who are friends and don't, respond to this journal post if you want to stay in contact; I'll watch it for a while, and I'll give contact details if I feel so inclined.

  But I am not going to post to, nor read slashdot anymore.

  For some weird reason, I find writing this difficult; yet, in another way, it's a release and a relief. Well...

  Thanks everyone. I'll miss all of you, even the trolls.

  • I feel like this is a waste of time, Marsha, but here it goes:

    shadowbearer@yahoo.com - subject filter is apollo13 - amend to subject for attention, yada, yada, yada.

    It's the old address, long overtaken by spam. Don't expect a prompt reply, but I will answer every one. Now I'd better go and clean it out :)

  • I'll miss seeing you around. You didn't fail it.

  • I had you put you in the friend column and gave so that category's modifier always brought your stuff to the top.

    Sometimes I wonder if the little shot of adrenaline & rage after reading this board is a good thing. Too bad you won't be here to bring actual real world sensibility and information! Good luck, Sir.

    • I don't know. I do know that I'm burnt out on slashdot and angry at myself for not keeping up with other things (including some author friends who I've let down somewhat, and several projects I've simply let slide by the wayside - amazing how one can just promise oneself you're going to read a couple slashdot articles and next thing you know, it's 1:00 AM :)

      Thanks!

  • you don't have to completely quit or anything. Forums are funny things, you go hot and cold on them. Slashdot with all it's faults is still the big dog of general topic tech forums, with enough randomness to be useful/funny/infuriating. Like just lately I've been doing the friends/foes buttons as I run across them.for a long time I read with images off, and also being color blind it was a PITA to keep up with it. One day I looked at my page and lo and behold noticed I had all these fans, some foes, and some
    • zogger, I'm fucked :) Maybe I need to move out into the country again and go back to dialup. Be like the old days - I actually had a after-work life then. Sort of.

      Ok, maybe not (dialup). Ugh!

      aaaaarrruuuuuuugggghhhh

      My SO( Significant Other, Senior Officer, what's the difference?*) is moving back here when her job is done in August; and I've become an internet junkie again. She hates that. She doesn't mind me spending my own time there, but *most/all* of my off time, that's different.

      So if I disa

      • If you come back, I'll enjoy more of your posts. Plus, I added all the Comedians you had in your journal to my friends list, LOL. Good taste. :)

        Personally I think it's normal to get sick of the net or computers or whatever you're doing too much of. When you get over it, give a more moderate approach a try. Cheers!


        • I'd intended to start doing regular journals highlighting the best funnies of the week, but it kinda slipped :)

          I think that mostly I was losing contact with other people from other forums that I frequent, and a lot of things I was doing were being shoved along the wayside, so to speak. I just have to damp down my /. reading; I'm going to limit it primarily to science articles and a few others for a while.

          It's also summer and I really need to get outdoors! ;-)

  • Mind the withdrawal mate, and try not to get hit by any lightening!



  • Zogger;

    Perhaps. We'll see. In any case, I definitely find myself on slashdot too much, and it's time to cut waaaayy back, at least, for a while - I'm neglecting too many other things, and that's got to change.

    Maybe I'll set aside a couple evenings during the week; maybe not.

    Thanks everyone (not a lot of you, but thanks anyway ;-)

    I'll be over at Baen's Bar quite often - it's something I've neglected to the point where I forgot my username and password (!!) - so I'll probably start a new one, m
