Personal Blogs

I've been trying to write a blog post, on my nonsense, about number theory. I think that I know what I want to say but it seems that I've become too drunk say it. The argument [about why this is just great & brilliant stuff] is tight but the maths is loose. So I leave it until I'm sober [next Sunday].

Now I don't have to blog about numbers, or anything else for that matter, but what would happen if I had to blog? What might I say?

There are people here, on this very site, look over your shoulder's folks, who have to blog as part of their course. Is this either appropriate, useful or right? I think not for all three. Why do I think not?

For a long time I wasn't sure about appropriate; these were clever people, people who cited references, people who knew about the online, e-learning process, ... stuff that really belongs on a course forum. Should I talk about Turing, in a course sense here?

Useful? Only to them methinks. To the rest of us they are bad-advert of...stuff we never signed up for. I've posted comments on these crap sites. Guess what? No reply. Ever.

OU bloggers change my life meme on a constant basis. The forced aren't OU bloggers, at best these are counters: counters of beans, words, the letters after their names, of something that real people don't count...the join-the-dots-crew.

They are all about e-learning, about delivering knowledge online, about the dissemination of knowledge in the widest possible sense.

And yet I don't understand in single, or combination, any of words that they've ever written. It's a cant and it's meant to be a cant. They are deliberately excluding us. Or are they just stupid? Or are they evil?

Don't believe me? Scroll five posts up or down, some H-blah number will be posting something about why you will read what they've written that you won't read without some type of torture.

All of the above I'd forgive if they weren't so boring.
