Weblogism

Interview With Myself

As I looked into the mirror, looking at my red eyes and pale face, I said to myself: “You should really go to bed earlier.” Last week, I went to bed at 3am every single night and my body happily followed that hectic rythm. The result is just what you’d expect: I was unable to sleep before 4am. Not to say that was a pretty tough Monday morning when I had to fight with my alarm-clock around 7.30am… Anyway, as I just cannot seem to think straight, I decided I would interview myself to collect my own thoughts about Weblogism.

Q. Hello, seb, you look damn tired.

A. (sighing) Don’t even mention it, I’m just shattered.

Q. Do you mind me asking what you’ve been doing to look so crap?

A. May I remind you that c*** is a fairly rude word?

Q. Oh, excuse my French.

A. No offence. Anyway, to answer your question, I’ve been working on sites, including Weblogism. For the moment, the site online is just an early release, still to be finished.

Q. What’s your opinion so far about your site?

A. Well, too blue, I’m afraid. I had done the layout at some late hours of night a while ago, and now that I stare at it right now at work, I just cannot help but thinking that it’s darn too blue. Apparently, the lettering is also somewhat too small. That’s a pity because that’s probably the only thing I’m quite happy with.

Q. So everything’s not that bad…

A. Oh God no! Weblogism has just reached its aim: teach me how to develop a web site in a proper and satifying manner. It uses a tableless design – pretty fashion, eeh –, URL rewriting to have nice and human-readable addresses. I still have to add lots of functions that run in my head, but so far, I’m not that unhappy with it.

Q. Do you think there’s anyone reading those lines out there?

A. (smiling) I must admit I have no clue. I don’t look at the stats. It looks like people are being a bit pissed off – oops, beg your pardon – irritated by the fact I write in English. They think I just show off. Don’t know what the heck I could be showing off…

Q. Just one last question: don’t you think writing a blog is just a narcissistic thing to do?

A. Well… I guess you’re allowed to ask and I’m sure every blogger on Earth just wonders why he does blog. Of course, I think it is narcissistic but still, I think some of the things I write in there interest some people.

Q. Fair enough. What about we grab a coffee right now?

A. (cheerful) Good thinking, Batman!
