Millennium

A website often advertised on UK television is confused.com. It concerns insurance (I think) but also aptly describes my feelings for TV.com and digital TV - both wonderful institutions (or whatever they are!), providing hours of fun - but I can't quite seem to get the hang of either!

We are told that digital tv is a wonderful idea taking up less bandwith (which I gather is something to do with physics..... which is probably why I haven't a clue what it means). When it works, it's wonderful - one can interact with one's television, and cause it to do all sorts of weird and wonderful things (I'm generally a 20th century entity). But then - signal failure, blocky pictures, 'corrupt' recordings on my PVR which are automatically deleted by it, without so much as a: "by your leave"...

Then there's TV.com. It is a brilliant website. I first started visiting for spoilers, but have spent increasing amounts of time here, reading, lurking and trying various things. But I remain confused about some things: for example - my profile assures me that I have 'written nothing about [myself] yet', but I still can't figure out how to do so! Or why. Then today I was encouraged to blog. I used a word (non-cursing - I never swear) that was forbidden because it derived from a forbidden word (that wasn't a cuss-word, either). There was an explanation given, but I was writing my first blog of all time and too flustered to take it in... Oh, and despite all my reading, I'm still not clear on the whole 'levels' scenario!

Ah well - I have hopes of acclimatising to the new Millennium. Before the London Olympics (2012) :P.
