Début
Hello everyone! This is the third web interface I’ve created for an almost limitless string of text (my thoughts) that I’ve been pumping out and putting online for the last few years — I’m starting to feel a bit like the BBC. This one, unlike the first two, however, is not going to be a relay station for my daily journal; that appears elsewhere and is already easily accessible. But I have decided recently that I’d like an additional outlet for more serious posts — something going beyond when I woke up today, what I did in class, what I ate for dinner, how many hours I managed to waste on my computer this evening, etc. That’s what this is going to be.
I should probably explain my title to those of you who don’t speak French. I wanted something more exciting than Greg Internet Three, so I made use of a really fun verb, (se) répandre, which can be used to mean a variety of things like “to spill,” “to spread oneself,” or “to get around” in the case of information. This journal’s subtitle (“Devenir de plus en plus connu…“) is a tiny excerpt of that verb’s definition as found on this amazing site (in French). In English, it says roughly “to become more and more known; to put an emotional state outward in the form of an abundance of words, gestures, etc.” Quite fitting.
I guess that’s enough for a first post. Feel free to leave a comment if you’ve got something to say!
