Sorry!

I feel I need to make an apology.

For months now, my activity here on this blog has been next to nothing. Much of my online attention has been focused on Facebook/Twitter. Lots of short snippets, comments and short interactions, but no extended pieces of thought or reflection on anything important. I’m not dissing Twitter or Facebook, because they’re brilliant tools for a certain task and type of connection. But I have realized that I’ve seriously neglected my love of writing and thinking and arguing for things that I think are important. That’s not been good.

So, I’m committing myself to much more time here in my blog. There’s a bunch of big things going on in my brain and my life, and I think there’s value in me sharing this stuff. Partly because it helps me think things through (with the help of a little critique and comment), but also because it might just be helpful to someone else. I’ve learned an awful lot over the past couple of years (in particular), and maybe I can share some wisdom gained the hard way.

Anyways, I’m sorry that this space has been so neglected. Stay tuned! I promised to be more active and hopefully stimulating than daily status updates.

wordpress upgrade

snakes alive! i like cool things, and i liked that i could upgrade my wordpress to 2.5.1 by simply pressing 2 buttons and hey presto, done! nice… definitely not a microsoft product…

i’m hoping that by doing this upgrade, i might mysteriously fix the weird problem i have with twittertools blog posts being a day or so late in publishing. i have not been able to figure this one out, so hopefully this upgrade might just help. at the very least, it looks pretty good.

a “first” post

well, in my attempts to shift my blog to a new host, for a wide range of reasons which mostly involve the incompetence of others, i myself committed what appears to be a small error in managing to lose all of my previous posts… :-(

so, i’ll try and work that little problem out, but in the meantime it appears that my blog is back up and running, at the very least. sorry to anyone who actually cared about what i wrote about previously, but perhaps losing all that stuff is actually a good thing – a chance to re-create myself?! :-)
