G'Monday, Mate!
I'm perpetually fascinated that the internet basically shuts down on weekends. I subscribe to a number of RSS feeds (you should too, actually, they're great--try it out right now, start with this site) and I routinely get over 100 feeds on a weekday. On a weekend, though? I'll get 12. For the whole weekend. It's kind of incredible.
I would assume that people would spend more time on the net Saturdays and Sundays than during the week, but it seems I'm completely wrong. People take the weekends to go out and have lives. People surf in the evenings because it's something to do for a couple of hours after work. Who'd have thunk it?
But I rarely get e-mails on the weekend, and no one ever seems to be on their messengers. This, of course, being when I have plenty of time to catch up, but no, it's been lively Monday through Friday and then it's dead once Saturday rolls around. But it's Monday again, so the internet is invigorated.
I just need to start frequenting sites that are across the dateline, that's all. Any good sites based out of Australia?
