What should a blog have?

Ive started wondering about this after reading the blogs of a few friends of mine.
*BTW, Im neither an avid blog reader, nor an avid blogger, which should be obvious from the infrequent posts that I make in here.*

There was this one guy's blog which had some arbit junk about heart and sky and stars.hmm, and it does not end in one post...it kept happening in all his posts. It seemed as though all he did have was a heart and two hands(to type the blogs) and nothing else...no brains (Im sure about that), no stomach (I think that if all the people become this way then there would not be any food scarcity problem again.) and nothing else.

It seems that when a new blogger comes in, he seems to be hell bent on coming up with something new and in the process doing the same thing all over again. After all, we are humans and to err is human it seems :) (which gives a very nice reason for people not to get things right the first time around all the time.)

The other thing that I noticed in a lot of the blogs is that people write blogs with their dictionaries open. If things can be written in simple and concise language, there wont be many people to appreciate the vacuum that you have written about. So since there is no matter, there should be lots of decorations to the language. And then would come the accolades..."amazing piece of writing maan" and "I didnt know that you could write" and stuffs like those.

Guess, that's is what is getting used in the software industry too. So I shouldn't be complaining :)

More on nothing in particular....after a break, where we will take a crack at the post that I have just written. :)

Back from the mini sabatical

So finally it has happened. An internet connection has found its way into our house. It did happen pretty easily in the end, but that was not the case a couple of months back.

Flashback to 3 months back...
1st Roomie: (Tentatively) Hey, what do you think about getting a net connection here at home?
2nd roomie: I dont mind, what di you say sid?
Sid(me): Well, if you get into the practicalities of it, there is none. We all are there in the office for 10-12 hrs and then I dont even think about looking at the lappy, leave alone opening it and browsing. But if you think that you need it, we can get one.
*Talk about oxymorons!!!:D
It didnt help their cause by asking me such question when im half asleep*

Now to 1 month back...
*All are in synch to get a net connection, alteast there are no 2 opinions on that.*
1st Roomie: Now, if the net connection comes in, then shouldnt we get a wireless router so that all the lappies can connect to the net without getting bogged down in one place?
2nd roomie: Lets c about that, pehele net connection tho aane do!!
Sid: Anything will do guys....but need the net connection to think about any thing else.
*The first roomie snubbed again. He should be really mad by now :D
But the thing is that he gets 1K reimbursement from his company for net connection.
Now considering this point, its not a good idea to snub this guy :)*

15 days back...
Sid (Thinking [lets not get into the specifications of whether i can think or not :P])
I need a net connection desperately, what to do now? Oke, ditch all. Have to do something about it on my own.
*Jugging people/ convincing people that net connection is the most imp thing that one could think about, without which people will die.
Net connection is the next best thing to happen after the creation of the earth's athmosphere with liberal amounts of oxygen in it.*

Yesterday...
Sid:
*Put on my pants and off to the ISP. Parted with lots of dough. But it was pretty easy.
Now the only thing that needs to be done is the router configuration. Then we will be all set.*

Phew...This makes me realize that one should never take sides in an extreme kind of way...flexibility always has its advantages. :)
