UrbanDictionary.com has been my saving grace of a short attention span for what seems like years. The database of more or less every "unofficial" word in the english language has had me hooked on its random word generator for hours. The site is in my books, the perfect procrastination tool for those long looming nights before deadlines; never though did I expect the "random" word generator on UrbanDictionary to actually come of some (vaguely important) use.
EternalSeptember was a name created for this blog purely through the use of this random word button. Ironic then, this meaning of the phrase:
"(n, abstract). Back in the day, internet use was restricted largely toscientists, college students, and professors. Therefore, these people were the only people operating the Usenet (Forum - mods = Usenet). Every September, the Usenet would see a large influx of new college freshmen who were not familiar with the established standard of Usenet use. They would temporarily ruin the experience for about a month.
Then came the September of 1994.
That year, thanks to AOL opening up the Internet and Usenet to the masses, the influx of noobs did not end. Soon, the new users vastly outnumbered their predecessors, and nonsense and flame wars became the norm. This phenomenon is referred to as "Eternal September", as the uptick of new users has not ended, nor will it end in the foreseeable future."
This blog is a waste of internet space. Im not even going to pretend that I know anything of value about using the internet, html, encoding, encrypting, flash, blahblahblah...
I started this to give a space to ramble, a space to let the world (or those who accidently stumble across this) know about what I think people should know about. Basically, to do all the same s**t that every other blog out there does.
