First Post

First post on what will undoubtedly become a fascinating insight into the contemporary world. Or at least it’ll seem that way to me when I’m as awake and lucid as I am now (not very). Sorry, I’ve been watching QI reruns and Stephen Fry’s influence still hasn’t left my mind.

Something I’ve noticed over the last few days (while desperately stuggling to find ways to make some extra money off the internet) is that a lot of these “build an internet empire for under $20 worth of investment” don’t take into account that time is valuable too. Even the slightly more well written ones that don’t scream “scam artist”. Yes, it might cost most people less then $20 (it’d cost me nothing in monetary terms, I’ve already got access to nearly unlimited hosting infrastructure and a stupid number of domain names), but if it takes me 10 hours of work to get up and running (and significantly more time to maintain and generate content), that’s an expense too. Anyway. Time for sleep.
