(Please excuse my random rambling, I blame the Tussionex cough medicine the doc gave me).
One thing I like about this whole blog thing/web thing is that you really never quite know who is out there reading your blog. I remember way back when I first got back onto the Lung Transplant list Adam wished me good luck on his blog. I was kind of blown away for a moment. Adam Curry read my blog? But when I thought about it, it wasn't that astounding. I had lots of random people that read my blog. I'd linked to things he'd posted about in the past so I'm sure he'd found my site. One difference may be that people who are part of/have been part of the public eye may hold themselves back sometimes.
The thing that made me just about it this morning was Adam Gaffin's comment on my entry about Movable Type and mySQL. When I glanced at his site I found it was Network World Fusion, which is the online site for Network World magaine. The cool thing about this is that this definitely answers my question. Someone was using MT for a 'real world' application and just happened to stumble across my blog and let me know that it worked well. It's one of the things I like about weblogs. Oh and you should check out Network World Fusion, they've got some cool blogs there. I like the Cool Tools one myself. (Hmm, and they are located in MA. I should keep an eye out to see if they are hiring at all ever (gotta network every chance I get these days!)).
The other thing I learned more about in the last day was Octopuses. Thanks to comments on my post about the one that can open up a jar. See, it pays to post about random things, you never know who will respond or what you'll learn.
