| As The World Turns |
I forgot what I forgot.
 Believe me when I tell you that keeping track of all the Internet connectivity is like storing little pieces of information in your mind, and then trying to process it, and remembering that you did something for a specific reason (way back when), but now you can't remember why.
Well, with all the new Web 2.0 technologies, and how they are interlinked together, forgetting just one little link in the Internet chain can cause great technical difficulties, that chew up inordinate periods of time.
Take for example experimenting with redirects for Domain Names at the Godaddy.com domain control panel. First off, the Godaddy control panel is capable of doing some of the things that I desire, but not everything. Yes, you can set specific CNAME records, and redirect a domain name if you wish, but verifying what you are doing can take a period of time for the changes to take affect. They tell you that a change at the domain DNS records level can take up to 48 hours to migrate across the whole Internet. So, when you make a change to one item, especially if you're not quite sure it is going to work in the first place, you can spend a lot of time waiting and checking the url for proper redirecting or displaying the website properly, and then when you discover the website still has issues, you end up waiting longer. Then finally you say, "phooey" and have to start all over again.
Sometimes along the way, as the world turns today, you discover another piece of the puzzle and think WOW!; How come I didn't try that before? But this is called learning, and learning requires work, and is often the case; many times trial and error. Learning without work, will likely result in no learning what so ever.
Thomas Edison had his famous saying, when questioned about failures said, "I didn't fail. I just found ten thousand ways that didn't work."
Well, much of today's Internet is based on that same principal that Thomas Edison lived by. And because of thousands, or more likely hundreds of thousands, and even millions of individuals that live by the same principal of Thomas Edison, today we have some really cool things online, and the future of the Web is still wide open for new discoveries, and this will surely affect the world as we know it.
