Er, hello
I haven't been around much lately and I haven't the foggiest idea if people even read this anymore. I have a feeling I'm the only one who does.
I've been completely out of the loop these last couple of years. Gradually, I'd use the Internet less and less. I think I can pinpoint this to when our Internet went down for 2 weeks (over a year ago now). I got used to not having to use the net so by the time it came back, I just didn't use it much.
University also contributed to my disappearance. I had a hell of a lot of work to do and a new social life that I never had back home. I'd be going out in the evenings and staying out partying until 3,4 or even 6 in the morning. And when the summer break came round, it was back home to no Internet again. Well, apart from one of those awful mobile broadband dongles but I could hardly do much on 0.03mbps.
The second year of Uni has now started and since I've been back, I've hardly been going on my laptop at all, let alone working on my websites/writing in this thing. I have no idea if the anime web design community even exists anymore. I haven't got a clue at all who owns what website and what the latest trend in anime web templates is. I don't know who the 'top' designers are or who's in the 'elitest' group. In fact, I don't know if people even use those terms anymore.
I haven't touched MSN for about 5 months. I occasionally sign in as appear offline, but I have like 5 contacts online, no more. And most of them live in the same house as me at Uni.
I don't know what I'm trying to get at here really. But I've suddenly realised that I don't recognise the www anymore. It's morphed into something completely different to when I used it back in those days. I feel incredibly old.
I kind of miss those days where I'd churn out loads of layouts or icons each day. But if I went back to it, I don't think anybody would be around on my domain to even see any new work of mine. Not to mention I'll get bogged down with Uni work again soon enough.
In fact, now that I think about it, I don't even read manga anymore lately. I've just kind of, fallen out of the loop with everything.
I guess this is the beginning of the end for my anime web designing experience.
