Ippoippo

Why the hell have I bothered with it for the last year or so?

I guess the last day or so has been a bit of an epiphany, where I realised Facebook really is a pile of shite!
I mean really, what’s the point of the stupid applications which people waste their time playing on (come on, surely there are more interesting things to do), the aquisition of ‘friends’ who aren’t really your friends (who you never kept in touch with after school, why is Facebook any different) etc etc.

So, today, the process of Facebook Account 切腹 (Seppuku) has started.
Since I don’t trust Facebook to clean up properly, I guess I’ll pollute my account with junk for a month or so, before finally ‘deactivating’ the account.
Also, since Facebook are spoil-sports and banned things like Seppukoo and Web 2.0 Suicide Machine, I’ll have to do this the long winded manual way.

PS: Family, real friends etc…. don’t worry. I’m not ‘real-life’ suicidal, just Facebook life suicidal.

Hmmm, smallholdings… but where? UK or Japan.

Anyway, been busy looking around, and found some good sites which I’ll be following from now on.
