Samuel Pepys would have had so much fun with the internet. Here's a selection of recent tweets.

For seven of its ten years I followed pepysdiary.com. When it ended I was thrown into a depression. I felt like I had lost a co-worker - someone whose ideals weren't exactly the same as mine, but still was interested in his everyday life. I doubt a co-worker would be as frank with me, though.

I'm staying here on LJ. I didn't read the new user agreement. My credit card has changed, so I have until November to decide if I want to continue to send money to LJ.

I recall reading Pepys when I was a teenager and not appreciating him properly. The older I get and the more quirks I acquire, the better I understand him.

There isn't a user agreement anywhere that I'm happy about. I was amused to see an LJer complain vociferously about a paragraph in the new agreement that's identical to one in DW's ToS. Which proves that most people don't read these things and only care when they want to make a political point. Call me cynical.

I bought a paid account for this LJ late last year to persuade myself to be more serious about it but I wasn't going to do it again.

I agree all round.

That's two votes for falling out with the Dutch!

Are cods what I think they are?

[abject_reptile]

Yes. :D Sam uses it from time to time.

Cods lol

My last dog was also too small. He kept on trying while we howled with laughter - he was a Staffy, and would have needed a stool to get high enough for the female Doberman who had jumped over the gate into our garden.

In the end, Pepys' dog was given help.

That would have been an interesting cross.
