kasia in a nutshell

I'd still read, because what you write I find interesting.

I might not send you flirty e-mails from time to time, but I'd still read your blog. :)

I also have to say, your blog was one of 3 that I kept reading and said, dang' it, I wanna do dat.......So I did. :D Thanks K

what, you mean you aren't a flannel-wearing burly guy with a beard named Bob?

i don't know how you can expect me to recover from such a shock.

Well, if your posts sounded like Burly Bob and all he wrote about was choppin wood for the woodpile then I might just read to see if you noticed the spider or chipmunk hanging out in stacks of lumber.

Then again, if you posted as you do know as a Burly Bob I would be wondering what you did in your spare time to stay Burly so would still read. hmmm...

In any case, I like the way your mind works and enjoy reading what you think.

Does this mean I should shave off the beard?

If you shaved the beard off dave, would anyone notice?

I think you should start a blog at www.flannel-girl.com too. Just to see what would happen. :-)

Kasia, I've been reading your blog for a while now. And I've started my own blog just because of you. Your weblog is insightful and interesting to read and what I have seen, your blog just makes sense compared to other blogs.

About that Bearded-Bob thing... I think that I would stop reading your page because - at least for me - this weblog thing is based on the trust to the writers credibility. It has nothing to do with gender, it's about honesty.

I see I'm in common company here. I think your blog is enjoyable to read in the mornings. I personally used your site to help with my psuedo blog on my site, made it from scratch though.

Now, if your were a burly man with beard, I'd probably shy away...especially with a site named "unix-girl.com"...*shivers at the thought*

Question: why would you name your beard Bob? That's a little disturbing :)

Reality: Both you and Jeremy inspired me to make my own lame attempt at a blog, quite like many of the others have mentioned. Your blog has been a fun read and I learned that one doesn't even have to be awake to add to the blogdom :) Personally, that is.

Does this mean we should begin looking for 'Bearded Kasia in a nutshell'?

words good; Sex & appearance irrelevant. Keep up good work.

I just started up my own blog and I have to say, you were among the few people who really inspired me to do it. After seeing as you were using MT I also migrated to it and am still in the process of learning and configuring it, etc. Hope it grows to be as good and popular.

I also do Java and Linux work so we have some common ground there too, I like reading about your linux, java and generally geeky things. I also go running, so there :)

Hmmm...reasons I read...

1. Named Kasia -- I've a friend of the same name. Following the name is how I initially arrived pretty recently, from Jeremy's blog I think; I read his too.

2. One of the first entries I read said something to the effect, "I like Java. Deal with it." I hear you. I'm the one of the few, the ... ones at whom others look askance ..., who use Java while everyone else around here uses languages/libraries such as Perl, Tcl, Tcl/Tk, Skill, C, X Window System, and sometimes C++. I can use the others (and must use them most of the time), but I like Java for a bunch of reasons.

3. My female friends around here in computer engineering land use unix competently enough, but don't embrace it. I wonder what makes you different. :-)

4. I find enough of it interestings and the rants entertaining.

Hi, Bob.

Just remember that Content is King in getting people to return to any website.

Sure, there's a degree of cachet in being a enthusiastically tech-literate girly but it doesn't make you unique. Unusual, yes, but unusual catches the eye in the short-term only.

Actually, I visit your site for a number of reasons; none of which revolve around any sort of latent desire to date a geek-chick, however eloquent she may be.

What keeps me here is the eclectic mix of tech, hobby and those few brief glimpses of what's going on with you as a person. Fascinating, interesting, amusing...

More of the same, only different, please. As usual!

You write interesting things, thats why I keep visiting :)

I love Bob.. what a great name..
Bob Smith, particularly.. that's my favorite.. use it in all my program tests.. :)

And since i don't read as it is, i probly wouldn't read then either..

Why would you have a beard named Bob?
