Oh, the gall!

The automated response to my earlier message from TechRepublic’s contact page had this to say:

If you need more immediate information or assistance, please review our
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) section provided on our Contact Us page,
[URL], found at the bottom of every TechRepublic
Web page.

Is it really? At the bottom of every web page? I couldn’t find it. I searched the text for the word “contact.” No such luck.

Now, to be fair, there was a Help link. But is Help the same as Contact Us? Not in my mind.

Maybe in the monster content management system they use, someone forgot to add that one. Small thing, right?

Wrong.

Sorry, folks. Long dry spell. I don’t blame anyone for leaving permanently. I don’t even check my referrer log regularly anymore. I mean, who cares if someone from Google accidentally stumbled across looking for something that you know they didn’t find on your page. Just look at the query and you can tell.

I get the “disadvantage of email” one a lot. I wrote a post about the disadvantage of posting via Radio’s email-to-weblog feature. I don’t even remember what I said about it, but that one gets a lot of hits.

I’ve been consolidating my blogs, well, mentally at least. All of that has been cooking around in my brain for some months, but I’ve been unable or even unmotivated to bother with it. I’m letting several of my domain registrations lapse. Just too many good intentions. That’s what I can say about my life in general. I need to really reflect and find a way to focus on living a richer life, not a “fuller” one. Yes, I mean “fuller” in the way you feel after Thanksgiving dinner–too full–stuffed. And I’ve been one stuffed turkey!

I appreciate those who bothered to blogroll or link me so many moons ago when I was prolific (but not profound). Here are a few that I can name:

• King’s Kid
• Upward Way Press
• Under the Sun
• Tim Samoff
• Kingdom Come
• Theoblogical

That’s all for now. Shouldn’t I feel better?
