Well if I was supposed to do things at certain times, I've already screwed that up. Part 2 of this week's requirements will be brought to you by the power of Steam - the online digital distribution game shop and social network. That's not a plug either, it happens to be one of only two methods with which I engage with new comm tech, the other being MSN messenger, or "Windows LIVE" messenger as it is now. Either way, both programs are used by yours truly for instant messaging, but that interaction goes no further than a few relatives and a couple of their friends that I met at some LAN gatherings. So basically, not a whole lot of interacting going on. I don't even play online much, so even Steam's new community functions aren't really something I engage with. And yes that was my choice - I don't like people, they're annoying idiots for the most part.
It was suggested that ruminations on the issue of online privacy should be raised - the best defence is always ennui. If you are completely boring or normal or just plain avoid attention, privacy isn't much of a concern. What I find more intriguing are the people who complain about invasion of privacy - yet their social network pages are littered with personal information, not to mention the links to their family and friends.
My point is that you can feel safe if you avoid all contact and live like a hermit.
