Privacy

Gotta take my surname off this blog for a little while at least.
Employers could search for my full name, find something that they don't like. Decide to no longer hire me or whatever. Heard so many stories like that.
The world isn't ideal. I'm still getting used to that

Haha, perhaps.

Anyway, it's a losing battle for me. Google still caches information and headers from old websites which reveal my identity to anybody who cares enough to find it. This practise really should be illegal.

I don't like the idea of a "historical museum of the internet", which is continuously being created. Some people remove websites for a reason. I once called an old high-school teacher a paedophile as a semi-joke on a website I created when I was 13. I soon realised what a terrible thing that was to do (even though it is quite likely that he had such tendencies or even was one).

But even though I quickly removed it before anyone else could find it, that page is still probably floating around somewhere...
