Does Email Make People Stupid?

This seems kind of mean, but I emailed a real life friend about some problems I was having, technical problems. The problem changed over the weekend, and I emailed them back Monday to inform them of what was going on. Low and behold, guess what? They emailed me back that we’d already gone over this and they weren’t going to explain it again. WTF? I was emailing them about a whole new issue that arose from the same problem! This person is so intelligent face-to-face, it’s like the gamma from their computer fried their brain when they sat down to answer their email, making them skim it, not actually read it, and thinking I was addressing the same problem and issue over again. Fuck that. I simply wrote out a tutorial paper, four pages long, on how I solved the problem, what steps I took, and how others in my situation could possibly benefit from it. I hope in the end, it’s worth something. Not that I actually worked on it. Computers and helping people are my passions, and if I can combine both, then I feel like I’ve done something with my life. Sounds silly, I know. I guess that’s what it comes to when you’ve actually done something you feel is worthwhile. *shrug*

In the meantime, I’m still debating on what to do with my things online. I have so much … stuff that I don’t know what to do with it all. The things that I’ve purchased, such as domains, are costing me money every year. Money that I really don’t have. Ok, so the average domain is about $8 per year plus hosting, and that comes to about $68 per year per domain or about $160 for both sites. But I still have my server among other things.

I just did something dumb. I tried to change my Blogger username and it won’t let me have a username with spaces anymore. Oh well. I still have the blog URL, and I’ll be moving it over to my original profile very soon. Apparently, they took spaces out of the usernames. Google never should have bought Blogger. Everytime some other big corporation buys out a small time company, it always makes it worse. SixApart is ruining LiveJournal in the same way. Oh for the web to be like it was just five years ago. =)
