Ive "networked" many nice girls from myspace.  I'm sure you have, you pimp-daddy. UK and Pips: it seems like you still have to do a lot of the leg work and take the time to actively search for people to connect with. OR people have to be looking for you! It's not like you just make a space and BAM! you've got 2000 friends. Some other comic book illustrator was trying to convince me to set one up for Eternal Day and he was saying he's had more exposure from MySpace in one month than he's had in 2 years with his own site. But then he qualified that by saying he also has 8 hours a day at work to surf the internet and to search for "friends" with like interests, etc. I don't know. I just feel like I don't have the extra time to set something up on MySpace and to spend that time and energy looking for contacts and "friends". I might still do it though at some point, since it seems everyone says it really does increase your exposure. |

Of course you still have to do work. You have to put effort into something if you want it to be successful, that goes for marketing as well as the art of it.

Jai dosen't want to push himself and never has. It's enough for him to under-achieve and moan about it. Nobody is going to hand deliver opportunities and success to your front door while you're in your fuckin jammies. That's one of the things that infuriates me about Jai, the fucking  |

Relax, relax Pips and UK! I'm not saying I don't want to make the effort, but everyone makes it sound like you sign up for MySpace and all of a sudden you magically have a ton of "friends" and contacts! But that's not how it works! You have to have the time to sit on the computer for hours and sift through endless profiles, looking for prospective contacts. Personally I don't see the joy or fun in MySpace. My wife loves it, but to me it seems like a waste of time if you're just reading random profiles. Anyway, all of that said, I set up a space for Eternal Day (it's still in progress): www.myspace.com/theeternaldaySo add me as a friend...that way I won't have to do as much work!  |

myspace is seriously fucking up my web browsers.
it's not a problem on the pc because I can do a hard reboot, but it's really screwing with my laptop causing it to completely disengage from the connection and have to restart and run a disk check which takes two frickin hours for it to fix. I'm not happy about this.

no, it's definitely myspace. this doesn't happen with other sites.
if it was just one or two things, I would say ok, it's a computer fuckup. but it's a lot of things and they all happen when I'm on myspace.
I did delete some faulty clusters yesterday, and that made some progress, but the connection is still blocking out after I hit myspace. the laptop connection is still blocked out when I went onto myspace early this afternoon, in fact.
someone had actually posted something this morning about the volume of people slowing the site down. but how would that fuck up my connection? I don't know, but somehow the site is.
previous to this, I'd spent the good majority of the morning online doing various shit with no problems. so I don't know. I'm no expert, but I know where the signs are pointing me.
over the weekend, I'm gonna disengage the wifi and connect directly back to the cable modem and see how things go from there. . .
