How can numbers be real if objects aren't real

Nice writeup about @owen here https://newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/remnants-of-utopia describes the context that the blogs and bloggers came out of, including "forgotten corridors of the internet" like this place

NLR Sidecar itself is worth a look once in a while

PHILIP MILLER | Author, Journalist and Poet

It was a bit, I think he used to call himself 'Baal'. K-Punk loved him.

 

[craner]

Almost all those blog links on K-Punk are now empty; it's like a ghost town, quite eery.

People who delete their blogs are the worst cowards.

 

[craner]

Most of mine still exist, thank you very much.

 

[john eden]

I guess the possible exceptions are

that guy who was prosecuted for his over the top Girls Aloud fanfic,
people who write under a pseudonym who are outed,
people who transition and become a different person, if that is the right way of putting it.

This is one of the many ennervating things about the Craner brand.

What do you mean?

 

[john eden]

That you’re not a serial deleter of blogs and this is to your credit!

 

[craner]

Oh.

mine was self-hosted over broadband! using a domain that didn't belong to me, sadly it collapsed due to a catastrophic hard drive failure
i think that sort of daring technical incompetence should also qualify as a possible exception

a few missing posts, and no mp3s, sadly, but https://web.archive.org/web/20070125035233/http://railtonroad.com:80/6109/

Your blogs were highly complex multimedia works of art, it's no wonder they crashed the internet.

I've posted a couple from here in other threads and read a bunch more today, so might as well stick the thing proper in here. I think one of the guest writers is a mate of Gus', but I haven't read that one yet.
