Oh well. Later then.

I wanted to start a post at Implorations and go do some general changes for the blogs (Including deleting or replacing Linesion).

But Blogger seems to be dying on me severely.... lag + Long waiting times, this cliched combination finally got me pissed off.

The normal attention span of an internet user has a limit anyway.

All internet users have an in-built capacity for how long they can wait and how much attention they are willing to release to various internet aspects. Say,

Literatures
Essays written by pple like blog entries and fanficiton. Some peeps would get annoyed by the length and turn away immediately while some would engage themselves enthusitcally into the reading of everything. Then again, it does depend on the content. Whether is it the mudane topics of the usual blog or another essay discussing the meaning of life; the reader would only be interested if he is attracted.

Page Loading Time
Wait. Look around. Glance at the bottom bar in the bottom-right coner of Internet Explorer. Open another page to do a surf elsewhere first. Check again. Stop the page and refresh. Everyone can mantain this stance with their own personal time. In the end though, most just slam onto the "back" button, ignorning the laughter of the page at your patience.

Game Loading Time
No alternative but to wait. In some games I played, impatient dudes spam comments to hurry a
"lagger" so the game would load slower. I think they understand the irony.

Lag
The inspiration of the cool effects for The Matrix. The retardation of an effect that sometimes pisses guys off and sometimes make guys lucky. Lag for Counter Strike and you can escape a head shot, when you unlag, you'll do that head shot. Laggy programs are the thing that pisses me off quite a lot. Its feeling like your going to complete an action but then when you complete it, it doesnt happen and sometimes does after a minute or so. Makes me wish for a "Stop" button on all laggy programs, so I can stop the action and choose another option.

Downloading time
I know people who get pissed off if their file doesn't get downloaded in below 1 minute. Really... I don't think my com could spoil me to that stage.

Oh well. Later then.
