My old occasional “commentary” series of random musings from the days when I only had a Tripod or other free service web space. Laugh or cringe at the antiquated thought processes of a naive mind.
A bunch of stuff happened today that, rather than bombard you with a lot of quick posts here and there, I may well bundle them together. There’s even a little something extra for you to read towards the end of the post.

So it’s been roughly forty-six days since the last Bite commentary and rough forty-eight since being laid off due to economic issues. The job search continues at the moment, but I’ve been in somewhat better spirits than I was then. So for those wondering if this was leading to another breakdown, wonder no more. I don’t expect a breakdown to happen anytime soon. Different circumstances from the last time I had one; some would say more severe, but I don’t. It’s not a big deal overall.
To anyone who thinks I’m angry or upset about the circumstances, I just want to say this loud and clear. I’ve got no ill will towards the company and despite the rather abrupt way that I’ve been let go, I tend to see my three and a half years there as the best time of my life. And for what it’s worth, I’m still on relatively good terms with the company. In fact, I did stop by to pick up a printing job that needed to be done for a friend of my brother and I never thought of taking the job elsewhere. There might even be times when I’ll stop by for a visit. Could there be better times in the future? Possibly, but I’m not going to think about that now.

A bit short this time around, as I am no longer gainfully employed at the moment as of this past Monday and need to concentrate on finding work. I’ll bare my soul sometime in the future, but for now, here’s lots of quick comments and blog reposts on random crap that came to my attention… all written prior to Monday.

(2023 Update: This was originally just “a quick post”, but I’ve decided to upgrade it to a Classic Bite Commentary. Considering that the commentaries had no set word limit or whatever the case may be, I figured that it was for the best.)
I’ve been pre-occupied (yeah, that’s the word I’ll go with) and thus haven’t been posting as of late. So let’s catch up on some stuff…

Quick introduction for some: since 2002, I generally keep a series of commentaries codenamed THE BITE, which is sort of a monthly online journal to express my thoughts on certain events of interest, as well as updates regarding personal side projects.
Since the site that I usually post these is under construction (and will be for another month), I decided to place this month’s commentary here. Lots of reading for the most part, but I hope you enjoy… after the break.

(2023 Update: Another long-lost Classic Bite Commentary dug up from the ashes, never having seen the light of day until now. This was around the time where I abandoned all hope of every relaunching the Webstation and focused more on the new Blogger space; hence why this never saw the light. It’s a bit of a shame, because it’s one of the more level-headed commentaries I wrote back in the day. It’s also one of the first times where I considered shuttering the Bite commentaries for good and that would only come along a year later.)
Hello, everyone. It’s another Bite commentary for you to read… although I’m not quite sure how long I’m going to keep doing these.
In case you’re not aware, I’ve started up a new blog; dtm666.blogspot.com is where you’ll find it. And I’m actually quite liking it, so far. The thing is easy to operate, I can write and publish posts rather quickly, and it seems to be much more versatile than the usual stock. I’m going to be brutally honest here; I’m almost considering putting all my chips into this one blog and close off the rest of the stuff. Considering how many times I have launched and relaunched the Webstation over the years, maybe I should go towards something where it doesn’t take much work to get things published.
Not that I dislike the whole webpage making process; I like to think that I’ve learned quite a bit and I consider to be something useful… but at the same time, I’m kind of wishing that I can have a stable web presence instead of one that’s always closed off because I’ve had a sudden brainfart and decide to redo the whole site all over again. I’ve heard the complaints from the few people who bothered to e-mail me regarding this and I thank you for your messages. I try to stick with something, only to mess around with a new layout and decide to go for that instead.
And then look on in disappointment as my wonderfully-constructed webpage layout is hammered with a billion ad banners that practically destroys the whole thing. That’s what you get for sticking with a free webspace provider… and I get that. I just wish I had the foresight to stick with something simple and… just stick with it altogether.
For now, we’ll continue as we always have, but I did wanted to bring up a couple things that might be worth talking about.
Decided to wait until Halloween to put this up… welcome to another wonderful edition of the Bite, where I just ramble in text form. Until recently, I was going to start up by posting a new video llog (so you can HEAR me ramble about random shit rather than READ my ramblings), but things didn’t go ahead as planned and so things will have to wait until I’m good and ready.

Things have been progressively better since last we met. I’m presently in a state of perceived insanity, but no real danger zones. Let’s not dwell on this right now, please? I’m sure there are those concerned about my health and your concern is greatly appreciated, but it’s easier for me to not dwell on this… and dwelling is something I’m REALLY good at. So let’s just move on, okay? Okay…

Welcome to another Bite commentary… and one that’s going to be fairly brief because this is less a commentary on the state of the world and the bubble of interests that serve as the background fodder for my little corner of the Interwebz or whatever we’re supposed to be calling this thing… but rather, this is going to largely focus on “the big picture” change that I’m going to be toying with.

It’s been a while since I wrote one of these, hasn’t it?
The last time I’ve written a Bite commentary was WAY BACK in March 2009. A few months behind on stuff… and to be perfectly honest, not that many posts have been appearing on the blog, either. Unusual considering I’ve managed well over a thousand posts in a period of five years – an uncanningly disturbing statistic in itself. So let’s get it out of the way…
