Anyone here familiar with Private’s Xanga site?
In the old x-Tools there used to be a glitch. Or maybe the glitch
was in IE. I’ve forgotten how Monsur explained it to me.Anyway, sometimes when I tried to post a new entry, instead of posting
as it should, I’d lose what I’d written and I’d end up at “private’s
Xanga site.”There were never any posts, but the guestbook was full of frustrated
entries from people like me who had ended up there and didn’t know
how. Some of those entries gave rAnDumB PrOOpZ, and some even
gave vacuous compliments on the “nice site” that “private” had. I
used to console myself for having lost what I’d written by reading the
nonsense other people less perceptive than I had written there, and the
various angry pleas to the Xanga gods to fix the thing, and the
occasionally scornful or disgusted techie explanations targeted to the
ignorami who thought they’d in some manner unknown to themselves found
another “neat site” to drop sum propz.I subbed to Private on about my third or fourth visit there. I
subbed as KaiOaty, too. Today, forgetting I was logged in as
KaiOaty, I subbed to someone new. When I realized my mistake –
KaiOaty’s subs are limited to the people I’ve done readings for (plus
Private for shits and giggles) — I logged out, back in as SuSu,
subbed, then logged back in as KaiOaty to edit that new one out of my
subs. Noticing the “Private” sub in the list, I paid the
guestbook a visit to see if there were any recent entries.Almost all the recent entries are frightened pleas or angry admonitions, warnings, or
threats from paranoid Xangans using trackers, who have mistaken
their own visits to their own sites for those of a stalker, plus a few typically scornful
techie explanations. It’s hilarious.
What toy do you remind me of? Lego
You
are very complicated, and hard to figure out. You are inspired
intelligence, and creativity. In the end, when people put the
pieces together, you are a beautiful picture.

bahahahahahahahaha…. You pointed me to that site a long long time ago……………..
Had forgot all about it……… The comments are still hilarious…………
Oh! And I don’t do quiz’z so you can leggo my peggo now….
I will never understand why Xangans with public sites become so obsessed with “tracking” their visitors. Perhaps, I’m naive or insensitive. I do know that people have been taken advantage of, lied to, and screwed by Xangans who create faux identities, so maybe that’s why all the “tracking” became popular. Now, I’m rambling.
*snork* i’ll have to go by there just to read the comments. haven’t stopped by in ages.
and? another reason i dumped the tracker. the paranoia level has gone beyond normal and reached heights of egocentric hilarity.
[another reason i don't get around much anymore, either. got tired of being admonished for stopping by people's sites but not commenting.] [grr.]
pea. ess. you have mail. in case you haven’t checked lately.
oh…i did the quiz
What toy do you remind me of?
Teddy Bear
You’re a big sweetie,
and everyone just wants to give you a big hug.
You’re great with children, and often their first toy.
Often you may get thrown around
but the rough times will pay off.
You know that deep down in people’s hearts,
you’ll always be remembered.
Odd- I be a Lego, too, according to the quiz.
Well, I got my five minutes of fame. And a free plug. Could have been worse.
The comments are hilarious.
The comments are hilarious. I go to Private’s page every now and then and, even after having it pointed out that those visits are their own, they’re still convinced that they’re being stalked. Brilliant.
I love it! Is there a site named “Public” I wonder?
I am soooo glad I never got a tracker thing… i seldom even check that web-stat thing that counts shows many people visit. Every now and then I still do get a backstab-feeling of paranoia — but it thankfully passes and I’m back to my usual wack/wonky self… I’ve learned to just keep it all on the down low… from being around a while, I’ve seen how these things ebb and flow…
Oh my goodness…SuSu, I laughed so hard at that I nearly peed my pants. I haven’t even checked the site yet–I just mean at your post itself. No one more witty than an amused/bemused Virgo. Thanks for getting my day off to a great start. On to the site…more good reading, I am sure.
I think those trackers are cool techie shit … don’t have one nor want one but they are cool
I’m a bouncy ball
