Notes, from a Noted Notator
technical notes:
* I’ve changed my email setting so it might (*MIGHT*) be easier to send me an email via the “about” page. The preceding was stated because I like the word “via.” Also I think some people have been visiting and trying to send emails but not succeeding. Since that SUCKS I endeavor to service you. As it were.
* Somebody’s been visiting from Arizona. Welcome! Do I know you? Send me an email and help me test the new system!
* Because I prefer lists with odd numbers of items: I don’t have much to do with social networking per se (I also like “per se") but lately have had several invitations to “friend” folks up on facebook and plaxo and classmates.com. I did find some old friends on classmates and while we’re not exactly burning the airwaves catching up with each other it is still fun to know they’re out there. My question is on the etiquette of these sites. I received a suggestion that I facebook “friend” someone from high school whom I am pretty sure I knew once but no longer recall with any specificity. Should I just dive in and say “we’re friends, right?” or wait till I can dig out a yearbook and re-assure myself? Similarly, I visited my page on Classmates and found a feature that shows who’s visited me lately. One of my visitors was someone I vaguely recall from high school as being way too cool for me, from two years ahead of me. Should I reach out and say “hi,” or just let the visit go unrecognized as apparently the visitor intended by not leaving any message for me?
And does it change any of the above if either (or both) the individuals in question were, to the best of my recollection, among the best-looking girls in my high school?
Anyway, that’s all for now. I am writing something dull. Later on I’ll write something more entertaining and I will share it with you, right here. No membership is required. Some memberships are actually disfavored! See boxtop for details.
