Vox Head Vogon Fixes Bug - But Still Hides from Martian Hunter
Today I noticed my post on the Ideal Woman seems to suddenly have the place names in it again.
Looks like Vox fixed the "Make proper place names disappear" bug.
Either that or one of my late nights I sleep-posted to the blog and changed it all by myself and then forgot about it.
In any case, the Head Vox Vogon is still in hiding.
Rightly so.

I'm around...just....kind of wrestling with the sensations of writing about my life here or not. On one hand...it's kind of cathartical... on the other, the dictionary definition of cathartical is : to empty the bowels...
The main themes I am contemplating are:
1. If I write about the things that did go on, have been going on and are going on then...what is the benefit of that?
for me - catharsis...not much really perhaps some new insight though
for others that may have been involved it could be...painful, disappointing, hurtful in some way. Possibly also liberating though, but who knows.
for others that are total strangers...maybe entertaining, maybe funny, maybe useful in giving some insight in some random way I couldn't fathom.
long term - when I am filthy rich and scarily famous, like all bloggers eventually become right? will any of these debached experiences come back to haunt me? Then again...on a personal level I am pretty sure I wouldn't give a flying fuck.
Mostly it's just about people I care about, even though I might never again be in contact with them, and wondering if it's not best to leave them with their own delusions about whatever our encounters meant than to risk them possibly being made aware one day via this blog, just how mistaken some of those delusions of theirs were. And secondly, wondering why it should matter to me one way or the other and if it doesn't...then why bother write about it?
to which....mostly because the experiment is still running...what would it be like to live with nothing hidden. Regardless of what it means to anyone else, I still think that might have some value for me. What do you think my first and most loyal reader?
Other than that, well... it's good sometimes to write stuff down. Like you say, it can provide a new insight... whether it comes from whoever reads it, or from yourself. Others don't have to read it if they don't want to; it's your blog, your life. You can always make them private if you're worried that it'll hurt their feelings. When you become rich, you can just do what the rest of the rich folk do: delete all proof that you ever had this blog to avoid being blackmailed with it. But then again, by then you might not care because you'll be filthy rich and you'll probably have a bigger and better zap gun that will take care of them.
