My co-workers have been incredibly supportive during this difficult time, I really can’t thank them enough. When I got into work today, this was waiting for me:

The problem, of course, was that I spent the entire day getting up from my desk to check and see what people had written on it.  I must have done that, like, 50 times.  The net result was that I was even less productive today than usual, and it was all because I had to physically get up from my desk in order to see what people had written on my wall.  Tomorrow, I’m setting up a webcam so that I can monitor my wall from the comfort of my chair.

Of course, I picked the worst week possible to go off of the Facebook crunk, because there’s all sorts of crazy Facebook news on Techmeme this week.  Facebook is worth 100 billion dollars cause they’re going to track everyone (except me, suckers!) using cookies and ad networks and stuff.  Google and it’s “friends” (Google doesn’t really have friends, it should be more like “Google and a gang of insecure software hoodlums”) are about to gang up on Facebook with an open API.  How can I forget you Facebook, when there’s always something there to remind me?

Kids, anytime anyone tells you that Facebook is a waste of time, you point them at this blog post.  Let them see how much time and effort Luddites such as myself have to go to in order to get reminded of how drunk they got last night.
