So, as you can see the last update here was quite some time ago. I think Facebook and Twitter have killed my desire to write on my blog at all. That sucks because anything that’s posted to these other social networking sites is pretty ephemeral (yeah, that’s my big word for the day!). My original reason for writing was to have a “journal” that I could refer to. This just isn’t feasible when we use Twitter or FB (actually, you can use something like Twinbox to archive Tweets, but you need to use something other than just a browser to do so) so it’s sad to see a lot of my “journaling” done on these other sites.

The other thing that has kept me away from posting here is my desire to find some better blogging software. Bblog is long dead and probably full of security holes. I fiddled around with Drupal and a couple other platforms for a while but these ended up being more than I needed and not worth the “price of admission” (the steeeeep learning curve). I think I’ve pretty much decided to install a copy of WordPress locally and go from there since I don’t trust anyone else to host my content.

In other news, it’s been a crazy year so far and I simply cannot believe that it’s already the first of September. So much has happened and so little has changed! One of these days I’ll get around to writing about it all.
