On the subject of "On the subject of Schedules"
I know I wrote it, but it’s still bunk.
One of the reasons for this is that I had second thoughts while I was writing it, but still kept on with it. That is also quite clearly bunk.
The reason for it’s bunkiness is, quite simply, that it is wrong. Not completely and utterly wrong, but wrong nonetheless.
This is a list of everything I could be blogging,
except for “on iwill”, which I have no idea about
what it is and have just deleted. When a new
repeating task pops up that’s not the control (this
is a bit difficult to explain, but the checkbox
with the arrows in it at the bottom is the control,
and changes to that are made to all repeating
events it spawns in the future. Every interval you
set, it duplicates itself except without the
arrows, and you can change that one), move one of
your ideas to be a subtask of it. Then write it
there. However, if you have no good ideas, don’t
make your followers suffer through bad posts,
because that’s a good way to get rid of them.
Don’t worry about being a dinosaur, you’ve got a
while, and chances are that if you’re not posting
people will forget about you. If you’re posting
crap, however, they’ll unsubscribe.
My pocdasting logic was a bit fuzzy as well. I
conveniently “forgot” that iTunes stops updating
when you have five unheard episodes, or something
like that, so nothing relies on your end. Tactics
like forgetting facts are also bunk, if you want a
tip.
All in all, what you should take away from this is
(1) only blog if you’re going to be interesting,
and (2) don’t be afraid to admit when your post is
bunk.
