911 and 77 (21)
I admit I have a serious problem with this new web site, blog, rss feed, free articles, free software and more to come and that is that even though I have been up and running since the beginning of March I have had almost no visitors at all!
Yesterday this got the better of me somewhat. I felt down the whole day because all my attempts to build, no START some, traffic have failed 99.99%
Today I feel a bit better about it because I actually am pleased with my content and the way it is slowly becoming a resource and, thinking about it, I would rather have something like this and take a few months to begin to show some signs of success than to build a more typical blog that is almost a fly-by-night event.
If I can't succeed by doing it the way which is right by me by which I mean building up with quality content then I will, eventually, give it up as another failure in my life.
I have been reflecting on some of the things I have put here already. I have some unique and powerful content just waiting to be discovered and appreciated. That is what I plan to stick to. Good content that once intelligent thinking people discover will pass by word of mouth in the internet sense of mouth.
Anyway, I actually enjoy a long writing session on a particular facet of life that has gripped me that day or even longer. I am only grateful that I am able to do it at all because some times I know I can't do it. The wisp of an important idea is too fragile for me to properly capture and put into words. Yesterday began like that, I had this idea but I knew from the outset that even if I spent the next twelve hours working on it that I would fail to convey it - so I didn't even begin that one and now it's faded away. But I have no shortage of such insights. They come from out higher selves by the way and I get mine while sleeping.
In a nutshell, we have got life and it's meaning all wrong. I try my best to explain some of these things in my articles but I don't think I ever really do those insights or "insights" justice.
And in the same incompetent way I am failing to get any visitors too! Help!

RSS feed now looking good!
Yes after many hours of trial and error I now have an RSS feed up an running and looking pretty damn good too. You can opt for my own feed or get it from feedburner.com and get some extra frills.
Another article added to my R. Souls category.
This one is half addressed to the Ex christian web site forums which take me ages to negotiate and work with. This one is over 3,000 words which is a bit on the big side for a forum posting so I might just post a note pointing and linking to the main article.
Have ventured into StumbleUpon and have to say at first I backed off when I saw I had to download an executable with no information to advise me what it would do. But second time around I decided to trust them. I hope I don't regret it and I must add my first impressions are ... impressive. It actually does provide pages that I really appreciated. I will be going back again, often I think.
RSS has been the focus of my attention for the past few days, not just learning about it but getting it up and running for my own site here. One thing I discovered is that Internet Explorer has a problem with my feeds. This seems to be due to known bugs and I have to say that I am not impressed that such a fairly simple idea as RSS can present a huge hurdle for such a big and rich company with so many gifted programmers and it just seems so utterly stupid. I have been to the MS web page that mentions this and none of the answers suit me so it means that I can't actually use IE7 to properly look at my own rss feed. Unbelieveable! But true!
Anyway, despite that silly obstacle I am proceeding to produce my own RSS feed and that part of my automated processes is coming along nicely. Up to now it has been done by hand but I hope by the end of today to at least have a basic version produced automatically as I update all my site's pages.
Later same day...
My RSS feed is looking good. All automatically compiled and well worth spending today working on. www.Feedburner.com seems to be pretty good too.
My category idea is working nicely now. I just have to remember not to begin a new category until I have an article to go in it or else there is a problem. I can get around that by putting a one-liner article in place but that is not really how I want to set a standard for my work here so this morning, and it has taken me all morning, I have written an article on the ex-christians, people who see through the scam of christianity and break away.
I know christians will accuse me of being hateful but I am not at all hateful. But I don't have any synthetic pose-love either for that matter. Politeness but not silence. Christianity is an extremely malignant system. But that is exactly what people want. It is the kind of schools they want - christian. So society is very definitely very christian. The question is whether I can be allowed to speak my mind about it after having studied it for decades without any bias either way or I must be targetted for what I say. We shall see.
It's a funny thing sometimes to realize that I have completely overlooked something quite useful. I began this site and blog just over a month ago and it has not occurred to me even for a split second to add to it a piece of software I wrote last year. This is a 'duh' moment for me I have to admit.
So poste haste (I guess that's from the same family as hasta la vista?) I am going to add that to my growing web site content here. Maybe later today. It is a free program or utility that backs up your hard disc to another hard disc and I wrote it for my own personal use and still use it at least once a week.
Another small point to make and one you will get to appreciate as the weeks and months go by, is that I won't put content inside my blog very much. The reason for this is that a blog is not the best of organisational systems for managing 'solid' data. That's why I have a set of categories. And my blog will be more of a web log and diary!
Put another way, I guess, I tend to be 'bloggish' when I write my articles - so why double up and put it all in the blog too. Besides, I think I am already proving that I have some content that does actually deserve forming into more of a timeless article --- and just hope I am not totally alone in that immodest view.
And as for extra content that's been added lately, well, the Categories speak for themselves - indeed, as does my RSS feed too if I can get it to work properly inside Internet Explorer (7). It's just amazing that such a huge and powerful and moneyed company as microsoft can break my very simple RSS feed and yet when I try it elsewhere to see where I have gone wrong, it's fine, no problem. So MS or M$ is probably the culprit!
But I will keep working on it, RSS.

I have added a new category, Bible, and a 3,000 plus words article to go with it as a starter. It's not pushing christianity or the bible, in fact I am anti christian and assert that the bible whatever else it is, is a WMD that has lasted far too many centuries.
Feel free to read it, think, check, think again and see if you really want to disagree with me on this, just one of my many extreme views about life and how difficult it is made by such people as I mention in this article.
Got my new RSS feed up and running pretty nicely. Doing it by hand now -- and I emphasize the subject break from the previous paragraph just in case anyone is wanting to make an unnecessary adolescent quip!
If any of you also have an anti christian viewpoint but not hateful or atheistic then I would like to hear from you and read your blog to see if we have anything useful we might be able to get together on.
Why not atheistic? Because I believe or know that the Greater Reality IS, that is why I am against systems like christianity not because I share an atheistic outlook on the meaning(less) of life.
Made a couple of new friends today, Les and Anne Marie, and spent an hour or more chatting and getting to know each other a little, but no, not in the biblical sense.
At last I have written some different from my 91177 articles. This one is about when I was five years old, a personal anecdote. I hope you enjoy it.
Yesterday I went to MillionRSS.com and added my newly created RSS feed. This is a learning curve time for me. It's exciting stuff. I emailed them not expecting any response but back came a reply, quick, useful and friendly. I recommend visiting them and taking a good look and then if you haven't got RSS or don't even know what it is then find out at least enough to know if you need it!

Earlier the same day...
The 9/11 missile strike on the Pentagon thing is still sticking in my mind. It's been like this with 9/11 incidents ever since I 'clicked' that the whole thing was an inside job in January this year. I don't really want to deal with it or bother with it, not really, because I do not want to be in the firing line for no good reason.
I mean that it doesn't matter how much I say or how much I make it clear that it must have been and could only have been an inside job, the simple fact is that people generally and people who are in positions that could be expected to want to know, well they just don't want to know. So why should I bother with it?
In 1984 I became convinced that AIDS was also in inside job. But 9/11, AIDS and JFK are or were huge evil conspiratorial and criminal inside jobs. So just exactly what is there to be achieved by me focussing on any of these?
No, my intention is to let them go. Oh don't worry, I will be writing more about these and especially 911 but once I have finished saying my piece then I want to simply leave them be for people to come across if they are interested but not to push them in any kind of prioritised way.
Technical things always seize my attention and it's the thing at present with the missile and the video recording of it, I just realized today that even if the plane or missile had not been captured by the recording the little bit of swirly white 'smoke' trail that can be seen means, this was my sudden realization, that all of that trail should have been captured and the fact is seems not to have been makes me suspect that the video was doctored.
I add that now because just a couple of days ago I wrote an article about this but I said because the explosive flash was shown and this was a dead giveaway that if it had been doctored then this would be judged needing editting out. But now I think the 'smoke' trail must have been evident. I will probably write another article on this soon because I have been doing some calculations that are also interesting.
