Hello world! Well, OK… hello to a few people. I know, not very original or witty. I’m already crumbling under the pressure of writing the inaugural post! I wrote a long About Me page and that felt a lot like writing my first post. One day, I’m going to have to really trim it. It includes the why, a lot of crazy who, and what of this blog. FYI, this blog is semi-private which means some pages and future posts may only be accessible to selected registered pals. I won’t duplicate the about Me contents in this introduction post. If you missed the reason for the name of this blog, check it out here. 
I wanted to blog a few years ago, but all that bad spelling and grammar proliferating on the Internet depressed me and I didn’t want to add to this already sad state, haha. 
My real reason for blogging is because I’d like to record some things I want to remember in the future. Sort of a content management system for my aging, fuzzy brain. Also, I needed to cut back on instant messaging and e-mailing the same topics, files, etc. over and over to many different people. One time, one place, many people.
The blog will probably always be under construction. Currently, I’m trying to fix some bugs, modify some plugins and create “public” content. If you see somethin’ out of whack, it’s probably because I’m fiddling with somethin’. If somethin’ looks really, really wrong, check your eyes or feel free to contact me.
In the top menu navigation (where my blog banner is), you’ll see the usual suspects like Home, Me (about info), Site! (about info), Contact, Archives, and Links. The sidebar imagery is streamed from my Flickr album. Sign up for a FREE Flickr account and comment on my images. But if you’re expecting pretty pictures, you’ve come to the wrong place as my photography skills are lacking. Besides, I have a crappy camera. 
You should add my blog to your feed readers. Subscribe to updates via full RSS feed or get the latest scoop via e-mail. View my Technorati profile here. OK, not much to see, yet. 
Even though this blog is semi-private, I encourage conversation, comments and feedback, but please mind the few comment / contact guidelines. Note, I have integrated another excellent WordPress plugin Subscribe to Comments which will allow you, dear reader to be notified via e-mail of updates to comments made on posts. You can, of course, unsubscribe your e-mail if this feature pisses you off.
Look around, it’s much less painful than reading about it. Besides, my fingers are beginning to tire…
OK, that is all and that is enough for now. I hope you come back. My following posts will be much shorter and hopefully, more interesting. I’ll start working on that bug fixing and content, right now.
Adieu,
fruity hello 
Kewwl. Two thumbs up, but dude, you sure do ramble. Hey, where’s my login and password? Where’s the love? Where’s the love? Also, where’s the ‘Hodges’ page? I’m much more deserving of a ‘dedication page’ than an impoverished, 4-year old little girl from the Philippines.
@Hodges: Ummm, didn’t you read my “About” page? The part where I mention that if I had wanted you to see something, you wouldn’t have to ask me for a login account or password? Love ya, right back. Remember, you’re STILL special. A Hodges dedication page? Scary.
Sweet. I AM HOLLERING BACK! WHERE’S MY DEDICATION PAGE? I’m much more deserving of one than that freak, Hodges. { Insert here: profanity and several spelling errors that Massa P’s blog cops will catch. Ooooh, I’m sooooo scared. }
I’m still waiting for the REAL inaugural post. Will the real Slim Fruity please stand up?
alert(’TEST!!!’)
This should give me an error message… no??
@Evilgenius: alert(’Yes… but nothing really happens. This comment box just takes input as plain ol’ text… code is not executable. Nice try, but no cigar!!!’)
Ah good… eh, I mean, darn! Back to the drawing board… LOL! >:)
Neat stuff.
So, where’s the third post? Are you going to have the Flickr area up and running by Labour Day (2006)? Oh, and I also want my password!! Inquiring mind want to know what’s in the section for 3.1415926535… (either that or it’s a very strange looking “n”).
ERROR!!! I GOT AN ERROR!!! After clicking the “Holler Back” button. Here’s the message:
—————————-
A Runtime Error has occured.
Do you wish to Debug?
Line: 80
Error: Member not found.
—————————-
Didn’t get it the first time. Hmm.
@Evilgenius: Ah, cwafty gwirlie, hwunting wabbits agwain. Thanks for that. I was fooling around last night with this area… but what you found is MOST LIKELY a bug. I don’t know if I want to fix it (it’s a FEATURE!)… or more truthfully, I wouldn’t KNOW HOW, HAHAHA! Remember fruity’s fruity oaty corporate motto: “I don’t build software, I just point out your miserable failings and do my little Mexican hat dance! Besides, I don’t know how to code!”
You’re going to make me pay a thousand times over for all the suffering any tester made you go through huh?
Seriously, I’m using like a MILLION plugins written by others… that I hacked up (hacks ‘r us) and fixed. It seems, every time I fix one bug or modify somethin’, I break something else in another plugin (hahaha).
Posts? Oh, I’ve already got my next 4 written. I’m a lean mean, blogging machine! It’s just a matter of WHEN I release them. BTW, you’re like the 8th person to ask me what the mysterious Pi (n) thing holds! It looks like an “n” because the font is not “Times Roman”. HAHAHA! The area holds plans for world domination, yeah baby! Or perhaps PORN. Hehehe, so lame.
Looking at this page, with just 9 comments… reminds me that I want to be able to “page” (next, previous) comments. Not that I have a big ego, not assuming a horde of commenters or readers ever… but ewww… comments stretch the length of the screen. UGLY. Just another thing I have to build or STEAL & HACK UP!
Hi fruity…
Voted you!
