+ 11 - 9 | § ¶Renting market
So it seems that the renting market ironically works like this:
- Premise: Economy is crappy
- -> real estate prices going down for foreseeable future
- -> more people waiting to buy houses
- -> fewer people buying houses right now
- -> more people renting right now
- -> renting prices are higher now.
+ 15 - 9 | § ¶Proles.net is Still Alive
This website is a habit I can't keep yet can't kick.
The history of this site is marked by brief flurries of activity and long periods of nothing, like most of the web I imagine. Mostly I just like the domain - it's short and memorable, and actually has decent pagerank last I checked. I've had the domain for awhile, and it's fun (or at least nostalgic) to check out it's evolution over the years.
Of course times change and my focus has shifted a bit - no need to go into details, but if you are interested in computer programming I encourage you to check out blog.soycode.com (and of course Soy Code itself). Unlike Proles, Soy Code will have only one real topic (programming) and as such will be more focused and regularly updated.
So where does that leave this site? Well, I do still have other interests, and it is nice to have a soapbox, even if nobody is actually listening. I'll keep updating this site occasionally, not often enough to be "regular reader" fare, but please do keep it in your feedreader or whatnot if you're interested. I will most likely focus on the topics of videogames and music, with occasional nostalgic and/or meta rant. Poetry and philosophy is still cool too, but the net is full of enough noise already that I'll let you go find the real stuff in a library or something.
