Ah, the eighties.
… go read this post of mine (including the comments).
You’ll never look at a blog that hasn’t had any new posts for a while the same way again.
The Dante’s Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
| Level | Score |
|---|---|
| Purgatory (Repenting Believers) | Very Low |
| Level 1 – Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers) | Very Low |
| Level 2 (Lustful) | Very High |
| Level 3 (Gluttonous) | High |
| Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious) | High |
| Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy) | High |
| Level 6 – The City of Dis (Heretics) | Very High |
| Level 7 (Violent) | High |
| Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers) | Moderate |
| Level 9 – Cocytus (Treacherous) | High |
Take the Dante’s Divine Comedy Inferno Test
“Lustful”? Moi?

Dilbert (unlike, say, Wally) tends to be quite naive from time to time, but for once he achieved true genius.
I know, I know, Twitter is last week‘s news, so I’m late. Sue me.
Twitter is a system where you can tell, easily and quickly (for instance, by instant messaging, or cell phone), what you’re doing. You can also “follow” other users.
Anyway, I just joined. My username is “Dehumanizer”; feel free to add me (I like to convince myself that people are actually interested
).
Twitter, at first glance, looks a little fun (it’s a new thing, after all), but completely useless, and even a bit self-masturbatory. However, looking at how other people use it, I’ve found that it’s not just for telling the world about useless stuff like “I’m going to the toilet”. People are using it as a mini-blog of sorts – with quick 1-2 line posts. Unlike a “normal” blog post, a Twitter post is so short that you can simply write something you’ve just thought or done, without interrupting your normal flow.
It’s also a way to, in a way, keep in touch with people, even if you don’t usually talk to each other, such as former co-workers.
Anyway, we’ll see if I keep using it or not. I probably will, but not “religiously”.
