June 16th, 2010 3:04 PMAnd so, The Personal Account of Mr Scuffles was born.
But after the enthusiasm died down, Mr Scuffles lost interest, and I was too busy to maintain the the other three blogs I currently run to take over his.
So, rather than just let it sit unupdated, I figured it would be an ideal thing to undo. So I set about figuring out how to do it.
I went to have a look on the Help section of Tumblr and read up on the easy process on how to delete a blog.
Since I wasn't deleting my main account blog, but rather a subsidiary, the process was pretty simple.
I left the blog, and then, *poof* done.
But oh, I did link The Personal Account of Mr Scuffles on my Tumblr blog.
So that post had to go.
And that's that.
This was a lot easier to document than the other undoings I'm undertaking, and a lot less emotional.

Mr Scuffles was all hot for Tumblr one minute, then he decided he was too cool for the internet all of a sudden.

how to delete a tumblr blog
I didn't know how, so I had to look it up.
the kill switch!
I clicked on "Leave this blog."
no mores!
It is deleted and gone.
but wait, it's not quite over!
I had put in a posting on my Tumblr blog about The Personal Account of Mr Scuffles.

here's a link to a task worth reading. Mr DA has already said what i'm trying to say except better
I do understand, and even when submitting this particular praxis, I felt it wouldn't garner much in terms of votes once I put it together and was sort of underwhelmed with the results.
"Oh.... hmm."
So the question that will surely be asked is: well, if you knew that, then why did you submit it?
Well, I guess this is the best I can do at the moment, but if I have a plan for something better than this submission for this particular praxis, then I will unsubmit this one (Oooh, UNDO AGAIN!!) and submit something better.
Having said that, there are other tasks I've been working on that will likely have a bit more aplomb and punch. It's not my goal to be a mediocre tasker, but then again, I won't claim to do amazing things with every task I do, especially since I've only just started playing this month, and haven't yet hit my stride yet in setting up expectations for myself and doing things that other people may want to be interested in. Some of the more fun tasks I've done have been met with tepid response, whereas one of the easier tasks I've done that I personally feel could have been done better has been getting a fair amount of votes, which is a bit of a surprise to me.
It's a learning process in not only learning one's style and what one can do, especially as a solo tasker, but also knowing what the audience/fellow taskers are looking for and expecting out of a praxis. I don't mean to sound like I'm whining, because that's not what I'm trying to do or how I'm trying to come across. Comments like yours as well as votes (and the absence of) help people new to SF0 like myself learn what to do and what not to do, as well as what one can do in order to push the limits of a praxis. I've read the task, and it covers some of the things I've already been noticing from my own blundering, as well as some other helpful information that is quite nice as well. Thank you for sharing it, and do know I am inspired to make my next task something more fun that this particular one.
Not for votes, but just for the sheer joy of fun itself.
I wholly understand the sentiment. Don't do what people want from you, do what you have fun doing, and what you feel completes the spirit of the task. Not all of them will be great works of Praxial art, but they should all have a bit of soul in them.
If you are looking for good practice, and like the idea of just doing tasks for fun, have you considered taking a run at Level Zerø? They look like a good bunch, and their mission seems fairly interesting.
I think, as you do more, you'll start to get bored of doing the smaller-based things and move onwards and upwards into more challenging completions, it seems to be a general thing that happens to most people.
Welcome to level 4. Try stepping it up a notch and make a fun exciting task. You'll have a lot of fun. While this certainly "completes" the task requirement, deleting a myspace account (or blogger account) really isn't the most exciting or interesting thing to see on the praxis.
