Incomplete Content
What a Dink! I Was Redirected From Hogwash– An Incomplete Page!
Please be patient. The author does not intend to dismiss any work which is published, unfinished.
Why Bother Publishing Incomplete Stuff?
There are many valid reasons for publishing some otherwise incomplete content, or for un-publishing a page which was found to be incomplete (e.g. “What the heck? there used to be a page here!”).
You probably arrived at this page because the author decided to publish content which he feels is close but not quite ready for public viewing, so it would be more visible to him, as his own personal reminder toward rapid completion. This approach, the author decided, will be used henceforth, so any content, citations, etc.– whatever was deemed to be incomplete– will be added, ASAP. Essentially, this issue boils down to a case of ‥…so much to do… so little time!….
Why Content Is Marked “Incomplete”
Dear reader,
Please note that any so-called page, or regular web log entry is subject to being marked incomplete, for any of the following reasons (and perhaps, others):
- because the author feels it is simply too insubstantial to be worthy of publication
- the content has yet to be properly reviewed for basic grammatical errors, and a sensible flow of meaning or concepts
- items contained in the document text originate from a third-party source (borrowed, copied, or in some way not attributable to the NoviceNotes™ author), and as such require a proper citation yet no citation currently exists (see the NoviceNotes.Net article on how to cite works which can not be claimed as original to gain perspective on this author’s own viewpoint on citing references).
- the author wishes to complete the page ASAP– so any potential readers may benefit from the content therein– but, due to time restrictions, he felt it was more appropriate to publish it while leaving it marked incomplete as an incentive to complete it
- your author is brain-dead, sometimes, and has published the page, incomplete, as a reminder which doesn’t require sifting through the dashboard (since several near-complete pages were discovered [ Jan, 2009 ] which he believed may be of some use in their current state), so the fearless vampire killer [caught you!], your author, will know to add missing elements
- the numb-skull (a.k.a. the NoviceNotes™ Author) felt he needed a conspicuous reminder that the page exists
Reader: If you find misappropriated work here, please contact the author immediately with a recommendation, or request for removal!
Thank you!

P.S. Blah, blah, blah!
You Ain’t So Bad! …Where’s the Beef?… You Ain’t So Bad!
Believe it or not, keeping up with this blog‡ is a lot of work, so I beg your pardon for this issue of incomplete content surfacing for you, and I thank you for your understanding. As is alluded above, NoviceNotes™ has become a fairly large resource to handle, but the author wishes to continue writing in a manner which speaks to a larger audience (maybe, someday, he’ll put relevant content– from this web log– into a book, [yeah, and maybe pilgrims might live on the moon!], and….).
‡ That’s a footnote, because blog was italicized, right? Well, it’s because I think blog is a stupid word! I always have.
