I’m glad that there are html versions of selected articles from Cites & Insights that I can link to. I always like it when Walt writes about old movies, it makes me remember how I spent much of my time as a young teen watching movies from the 30s and 40s. I also liked reading the essay about the different levels of conversation you might expect from using various online tools.
I hope the ability to comment on this blog is as open as it can be, I feel a little unhappy that the volume of spam forced me to close off comments for some of the older entries. I think already that wordpress 1.5 makes it easier to deal with comment moderation and spam, so I’ll hopefully be able to open up the archives to comments after I migrate.
Thinking about blogs and commenting combined with getting an e-mail reminding me that my web hosting bill is due soon (I’ve been blogging for almost 2 years) makes me want to solicit some feedback about this site. If you read this blog, what do you like about it? Would you want more or less posts about certain subjects? How am I doing? How are you doing? Who are you? What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything?

47. Nobody in particular, just Walt. OK. Quite well. Nah, keep it varied. Which is what I like about it. (Answered in reverse order; it must be dinnertime.) And I guess I count that as feedback on the still-open issue of doing such selective HTML for C&I. Duly noted!

I enjoy your blog! Even when I don’t understand a word of the technical aspects, I get a vague idea of the type of projects with which you are involved. I believe, according to my daughters, the answer to life, the universe, and everything has something to do with muffins.

I enjoy the pips, and your reviews of certain manga titles I probably would’ve never felt so inclined to pick-up.
Um, are you planning on goin’ Kottke on us and quit your job and blog full-time?
Oh, and the answer to life, the universe, and everything is currently checked out. I can order a copy for you if you’d like.

I don’t think I’d ever be “A-list” enough to make a living off this blog, so I’m not goin’ Kottke

I like the anime reviews in particular, as I’m too lazy to try out stuff without it being suggested by someone whose taste I trust.

Lately, your manga reviews have been a big draw for me, as someone who is taking tentative steps into the wide world of manga! I, like Ely, read most of what I read on recommendation, so it’s nice to have your recommendations to rely on.
And, all the library talk, to be sure

Thanks everyone for your comments

I just like lurkin’ and occasionally adding my two cents worth. The library talk keeps me keyed in in ways different than I otherwise would pick up. But then you and I have been playing that game for years, to the benefit of libraries and, I hope, librarians.

I (obviously) enjoy all your library stuff. And the mentions of books and movies. And the links to odd/interesting things.
(And I like that you visit my blog, too!

Manga, libraries, slice o’ life… all of it. As long as you’re having fun, keep blogging
