Random Crap gets a new writer!

Yes, I have officially become THAT lazy. This new australian writer is not particularly funny, but he's still learning! Try to not treat him with the same kind of hatred and lurking you've treated me in the past. (you bastards!)


Yay, New Random Crap!

Indeed, I once again promise to increase my posting activity. And will eventually break that promise again. But the fact that I'm honest about it increases my credibility as a blogger right? Right?


What will he be posting about?

He's one of those people who doesn't like the current and awesome state of the world, and will most likely be posting about that. I mean, what's wrong with the current rich/poor ratio? I mean I'm rich right? Right?

Welcome Cynical! Welcome!

Link love for other blogs

For my newest idea, I’m particularly counting on your input. Do you own a blog/site, and would you like to get a free link in a post about your blog? I imagined you’d think there’s a catch, but there really isn’t. There’s no requirements of linking back to me whatsoever and there’s no payment involved either.

Seriously dude, what’s the catch?

Fine… the ‘catch’ is that I’ll be writing a review on your site using the wonderful Random Crap style! That’s right, expect irony, satire absurdum and a very selective comprehension of information on your site. I will consider anyone’s requests, and will also expect them to be mature when they read the final post that shows up in my blog. I never censor things out and I’ll also never let you read my post in advance, just so you know :-)

For information on how to contact me, click this link. I’ll respond to every request, but do remember that I’m not a robot… it’s not a guarantee that I’ll “review” your blog, but it’s worth a shot isn’t it?

Twitter: Random Crap

Since Random Crap likes to randomly add weird features, I signed up for twitter to tell you all how I spend my interesting and most educating days.

What does it do?

Pretty much all it does is, is allow me to post whatever I'm doing right now... so not much actually. It generally just provides yet another medium for communication with my awesome yet kinda crappy readers base!

Should I join you as a friend?

I'm not all that enthousiastic of having MORE friends, but if you just HAVE to join me as a friend, than feel free to do so :)

Scientific study

As you've all (hopefully) noticed, after The Random Crap post about decreasing its posting activity Random Crap immidiately -- hooray! -- decreased its activity. This however was NOT an act of laziness.
A month ago I decided to make a scientifical study to see what the effect of laziness would have on a blog, and I came across some interesting, yet totally random and obvious facts!

Random Fact #1: The number of pageviews drops really, really hard. Comparing the two active weeks of April to the whole month of May shows a decrease in pageviews of around 300%. And if I'm really bad at calc -- which I am -- than it could be more.
Random Fact #2: There are still some very awesome people who still visit the blog almost on a daily basis, despite the lack in activity.
Random Fact #3: James -- Are you the new Zealander I think you are? Or are you not a New Zealander and just some random guy who's now very creeped out at me mentioning you?
Random fact #4: Apparantly more sites refer to you when you're inactive than when you're active. (anyone know what 'netvibes' is?)

All of these random facts are nothing without a random conclusion, so I've also randomly concluded the following things:

Random Conclusion #1: If you want a lot of pageviews/readers... don't try out the "not-posting" thing.
Random Conclusion #2: James, -- yes, I really hope it's the real James -- I take back all of my comments on you being lazy, eventhough you kinda are
Random Conclusion #3: If you don't care about how many people read your blog, and just want to randomly make the world a dumber place, you can come back at anytime and make up some fake excuse telling you your absence was all in the name of science.

I did this experiment for more purposes than the ones stated above. In my time of absence I have consumed less energy than I would've normally used and have therefore contributed to saving the world from global warming.
So tell me, what have YOU done while I was gone?

Exams

My exams are coming up, so I'll be forced to take a break and hit the books. I'll be back in three months :(
I'll try to atleast weekly come up with something to write.

Layout Feedback

I'm playing with the layout a little bit to see which colors work best... I think I'm going for a lighter skin but I haven't decided yet.
Give me some feedback please :)

Technorati

I joined technorati to check it out and possible get some new readers. It's pretty much a communication service for bloggers to find similar blogs such as your own, or just other blogs to read.

Profile

I hope this proves to be interesting...

Damn you Google!

I put up a few google ads out of curiosity (fine, because I want to make money off you!) and I quickly found myself to be annoyed by it… I never asked for an ad search bar on top and I never asked for ads about bulimia or Mary Kate Olsen either!

THIS WASN’T PART OF THE DEAL GOOGLE!

On a slighter note, I presume that no one’s upset because of my greed. And if you are feel free to comment on it.

The purpose of Random Crap

Ever wondered how much money and time you'd save if you got crap for free? The gossip in tabloids and various magazines, the cry for attention from all kinds of religious cults, the silly things man does to be noticed, ...,
You've all witnessed how annoying it can be - and if you haven't you're one of them! - and therefore I offer you a solution! I'll give you that crap for free, without taking too much of your time and making you:
- armed against crap (I will do my best to sell my crap and you'll have to be critical against it)
- save money (Why buy magazines or donate money to cults when you can get their crap for free in here!)
- my bitch (This is your first lesson, try to defend yourself from this!)

I know what you're thinking right now, I'm wasting your time... and truthfully, yes I am. But if you don't waste it here than you'll just waste it somewhere else (Unless you're a doctor, Chuck Norris or superman).

Feel free to comment some crap.
