You have to keep the monster under control -- I am talking about the webmaster in you!
[ advertising space : webmaster ] BANNERS + POPUPS + LINKS Featured Pages : Notes Diary 1998 -- present You have to think about Part 2, when you are working on Part 1. If you read some Nietzsche, you understand that this Internet and Web nothing more than an expression of Will to Power. Yes, yes, yours, mine, ours. What else? We never give up on anything.

Now the "Net" has a different meaning for me. It's about my "net" -- my links, my connections, members of my egroups, bookmarks and etc.
I do not have a newletter -- what does it say? I do not think about the commercial future too often. I am paralized by the labor of serving the pages! How possibly can I think about anything "new"? I better remember that I began the websites for my own use. The traffic I got is only a by-product, the result of doing everything online. My notes are "notes only" and can't become "text" without extra effort, without me "writing" books...
I can't commit myself to turning my "Webman's Diary" into a book. I can't be a webmaster full-time. My "net" is more than I can handle...
What's the point of placing a new code (affiliation) or even a link, if you have no time to see how it works? The counters! Do I have time to analise my traffic? How reads this page? How often? Where do they come from? What is the trend?
I do not have anything for sale. All what I have is what I write -- and therefore the only future ahead is nothing but tradional books. I guess, at the end the webpages will be serving the texts in print (you can see it on the big publishers' sites). "Web-supported" manuscripts...
I hope you understand that a single "web page" is more as a chapter! Every time I print a "page" for my classes, I end up with 12 plus pages! Even a small ones (under 20K)!! Hyper-links? Here it is -- the net! The contacts with the rest of the cyber-universe. It grows, it's getting bigger every hour. The centrofugial forces throw your webpages further away from the center. You have no chance to be in the eye of the storm; not if you do not come with the revolutionary concept of societal changes (like Amazon).
Well, I am a user of the web and net, not a developer.
