A month and a half ago I was contacted by a Martin Vrabel, who sent me this:

email from Martin Vrabel of Taskee.comHi Joshua,

I found out you are writing about webdesign on your blog. I though you may be interested in writing about the new URL related task management tool for web designers - Taskee.

Taskee is a hosted website task management tool for small and medium size webdesign companies. Taskee simplifies website task management communication process and makes it easier and cheaper to collaborate during website testing process.

Kind Regards,

This was my first ever request for comment about any product, so I dutifully starred it in Gmail and promised myself I’d look at it when I could. Well, the wait is over. I thought I’d set it up today and give it a go. This post is part review, but mostly feedback at the moment as the product is only at version 0.3 and not ready for prime time.

The day after reading about Niniane’s brush with Godwin’s Law, I had my own internal conversation cut short by it…

Godwin’s Law states that

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.Excerpt from Wikipedia on Godwin’s law

Now, when someone does make the comparison to Hitler their opponent is declared the winner and the discussion is over.

Well, sadly I invoked Godwin’s Law on myself today. I was thinking about how weird it is that I used to be so certain that I would always be a Christian. I made promises to God that I would always be His, so certain that no hardship would ever make me doubt Him.

I tried to think of other situations where kids have made promises that might have been misplaced. That’s when I thought of the Nazi’s and their brainwashing. Then I had to invoke Godwin’s Law and exit my own conversation. You know how humiliating that is?

For good measure, here’s an xkcd comic about Godwin’s Law

The Internet is so fun, I love it!

Was uploading some photos to my PicasaWeb album and noticed that someone had managed to find my photos and had left a comment! Yay me!

When I started writing in my blog (infrequently as it is), I never expected anyone to read it outside my friends and family. And I’m talking across the span of my life - I expected family and friends to visit my site occasionally and get maybe a few visits a year. Primarily, NunnOne is so that I have a place on the web that embodies ‘me’ when someone Googles my name.

Of course, I kinda wished deep down that other people would find my little home and derive some small pleasure from reading about me and my thoughts, but I never seriously thought that it would happen. It still doesn’t really happen, but I do get a small number of visitors here that find me (mostly through Google) via a couple of topics that people seems to care about. One of them is Hercules Returns for which I still get many visitors (but few comments or repeat readers), and the other is my commentary on Fred Basset. These two topics are my most heavily found/read/commented-on posts but for different reasons.
