30 of 30 - The End

[aggienaut]

This is my 37th post in 30 days. 30 days ago seven brave (foolish) "megabloggers" took a solomn vow to write one entry every day during the month of June. These legendary bloggists were stephenl, shekb, apoplecticfittz, madchenfittz, incomple, tonyz, feuders. Thirty days later several had suffered gruesome death under the burden of 30 in 30, yet new livejournalists eagerly took their place! stephenl, shekb and tonyz had dropped out only to be replaced by emosnail and lerani.
   lerani in fact apparently made 40 posts in 30 days, beating even me. ::shakes fist::

   While everyone else will probably return to posting 4.3 times a month (though I notice incomple has posted again already), I'm not going as far away, as I will probably return to my previous 26.2 entries. If you are terribly inconsolable without me flooding your friends list and are particularly emphatic about wanting me to up my post levels again I MIGHT be persuaded to go up to 27.3 entries per month but I don't make any promises.

   I'd write a more researched best of 30 in 30 entry like Lerani's but I once again spent all evening in a fetal position on my bed and now have ten minutes to midnight. Do I get a prize for posting closest to the wire?

   In summary, this is a crappy finale as compared to everyone elses, but I'd like to feebly defend myself with a quote nearly every other member of 30 in 30 used today: "I HATE YOU ALL AND HOPE YOU DIE"

   Goodnight everyone, you'll be seeing a lot less of me on your friends list.

are you being ironic?

anyway, "meta-" is a prefix often used to mean something to the effect of "belonging to one layer up" in the sense of a self-reference. i.e., metadata is data that describes data.

particularly awful daily cal columnists sometimes lapse into meta-columns --- columns about how they write their columns, or columns about how hard it is to come up with a column. she was quite properly ridiculed for this. i mean, it's okay once, but not as a substitute for actual content. then you start having meta-meta-columns, etc etc.

hence my opinion that meta-posts shouldn't count. i mean, you could just write "hoo-ha! this is post number 27!" or "boy, coming up with posts is hard. i'll call this a post!" but what does that accomplish?
