I DIDN'T MISS THIS ONE!

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 12 2003 @ 01:34 PM

Contrary to what the ladies say, we do not always miss anniversaries. A day like today a year ago, I posted my first message in this blog. Lots of things have happened since then, and it's been mostly fun ever since I left Blogger and built my own system. I regret that my posting is not as regular as it used to be, but I believe that happens with every personal site when things get busy at work.

Anyway, I would like to thank everybody for keeping this site alive with your visits and your comments, even when all I have to say is worthless. Special thanks to Mario Klingemmann (the first to link back to this blog), Geoff Bowers (the Goog was the first aggregator syndicating my feed), Christopher Wigginton (the first 'regular' around here, and many times proofreader), Elizabeth (my wife, who's always after my grammatical errors), and everyone who ever said nice things about this site.

If you have any particular requests, this is the time to ask. I'd have liked to do something special, like changing the design or something like that... how do you like the subscription feature for example? Every suggestion is welcome as always.

Ahhhh shucks Oscar! Thanks for the great blog. Happy Anniversary! I wish you two years and years of marital bliss! :) It's been a privilege to be part of it all.

And yes, I LOVE the "Subscribe" option. I wish more blogs had it. The only part I think is odd is that I get my own comments sent to me.

Happy Anniversary!

How did you build the subscribe function? I'd love to add it to GalayGoo's blog, if it's easy :-)

Happy Anniversary! Subscription feature is great! But I must admit it took me some time to figure out what 'Just Listen' button does...

Hey Burak, maybe a need to put some clearer instructions or make things more evident around here... so much for usability :) thanks for your observation.

Thanks Dominick and Brandon, I'm glad you find this site worth visiting on a regular basis.

Thanks Andrew. I can hardly wait until February for the trip down there, and I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun. Looking forward to that beer too!
