DESIDERATA.COM

Go placidly amid the glitches & errors & remember
what peace there may be in
cable modems. As far as possible without surrender be on
good terms with all
message boards. Type your truth spelled properly &
with grammatical
correctness; and read others, even the dull &
ignorant; they too have their
story.
Avoid people who spam & use stupid icons, they are
vexations to the spirit.
If you compare your site to others, you may become vain
and bitter; for
always there will be greater & lesser web sites than
your own. Enjoy your
site awards as well as your subscribers.
Keep interested in your link pop, however humble; it is a
real possession in
the changing fortunes of dotcoms. Exercise caution in
your affiliates; for
the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you
to what virtue
there is; the information highway strives for high
ideals; and everywhere
the web is full of shareware.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign HTML knowledge.
Neither be cynical
about code; for in the face of all obfuscation, it is as
necessary as your
password.
Take kindly the counsel of the geeks, gracefully
surrendering to animated
graphics & mouse rollovers. Nurture patience with
technology to shield you
in sudden upgrades. But do not distress yourself with
downtime worries. Many
fears are born of infected attachments & poor
connections.
You are a child of the Internet, no less than the hackers
& the programmers;
you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is
clear to you, no doubt
the Internet is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with Bill Gates, whatever you
conceive him to be, and
whatever your mission & agenda, in the noisy
confusion of cyberspace, keep
peace with your ISP.
With all its viruses, slow loads & broken links, it
is still a beautiful
Internet. Be careful.
Strive to stay connected.
