I went to my first blogmeet last night.

There’s weren’t any other girls, so I was kinda disappointed. There was alot of geek chat and technical stuff, and discussion of some kind of conference/lecture in october about blogs. I do hope it’s not just going to be talking about the technical aspects of blogging, I am more of a social commentary type personage and tinker with my blog to keep it looking interesting. I got the sense that there weren’t too many of those types at the meet, and I was glad David was around because we got to chat about a few things non computer related. I guess in a way, I can say that the blog meets for perth follows along the usual lines of technical stuff when my friends get together. The boys talk about internets, new technology to do with broadband, whilst the girls gossip about food, their guys, pets and relationship issues. (please note, david is not a chick)

I might have blabbled on too much about some stuff, so I think next time I’ll just smile and nod.

It was nice meeting and talking to people I have been reading, for in some cases at least a year. Other’s I have read in passing, but meeting the people, feel motivated to explore a little more. I was late *surprise surprise* I thought it was 7.30pm. I think if I hadn’t turned up, Ben and David would have paid me out for it. So.. down the list of perth blogs, Staypuff, High-fidelity and Kick and Scream. Others I haven’t listed would be NottheWest, Richard Giles, Twisted Hamster, Graeme of BarkingOwl, decaffeinated and I hope I haven’t missed anyone.

Work has been good, I’ve made it four days out of five, another tomorrow… and I think that’s going to be good. I had my first assessment listening to my calls by the ATL today, and apparently I am doing well, and they’re happy with my level of committment to the job, so that makes me feel happy

Shopping, and then bed tonight.. I have to have dinner now too before shopping.. *sigh* It’s a hard life!

*footnote* I just looked at my webcounter .. first time in ages, and have to comment that last night, i saw more mac’s on a desk than I have seen for a very very long time, when I was working at UWA. Looking at the counter, I think possibly everyone who was there last night uses a Mac actually looked at my site today. Rather amusing, however Mac laptops look damn good, and make my Toshiba look like a thick stack of books Now I’ll have to get a thinner computer.
