Even Critics Lag

January 17th 2007 13:04
Recently, I have been overcome by a bout of blogger's lag. I suppose that's a 'sly' allusion to online video gaming, where the game data moves faster than the graphical representation and causes lapses in gameplay. I'm sure that's how it works, I've never really performed a computer autopsy.

So Blogger's Lag - and I'm sure I'm not the first, nor will I be the last to use that phrase - has struck. For the purposes of this conversation, I guess it will refer to the "catching up" process after days that did not accomodate all of one's routine.

I'm sure all of you have had your time with the lag, but most are more organised than I am. Did anyone get to the tennis yesterday? It was sweltering hot! My extended family arrived by plane that very night as well, so that capped off a day where I achieved nothing of my normal routine. I must admit, lag felt pretty good last night. I slept like a baby wilderbeast.


Today was quite similar - I had some terribly clerical University business to get up to and saw the family again. I managed to fit in some gym time, but couldn't get on to the internet until now.

So that's my story - a lot to do and very little time to do it. Unfortunately, Orble doesn't stop for anybody. Am hoping to get back to the basics in the following days.

By the way, does anyone have any ideas where to take an Italian family of five, visiting Melbourne ? This has been a problem for many weeks...

Thanks everyone for putting up with the blogging inconsistency !

Don't you mean the data packets don't transfer as much data as the game needs to remain psynched with the host server and/or other nodes?

I have absolutely no idea. I don't even play online games anymore - I just assumed it had something to do with data tansfer.

Your explanation seems accurate though Ahmed. Thanks for correcting me, and thanks for posting !

Thanks Katyzzz. I'm horrible with organisation. I'm lucky I lasted this long blogging *somewhat* consistently.

Yeah, I do love my extended family. I'm going to keep up the effort. I know I can do this in the long term !!

- Thanks for your comments,!!

Anthony
