Punctuating The Silence

Yeah, yeah, the cycle that is my usual routine of a flurry of blog posts followed by long silence has finally been accomplished beyond wildest expectations. September 30th, huh? *ouch* In my defense, Facebook and Twitter have been busy ruining any long-form writing skills I may have been developing when I was posting here, well, “more”, while the correct term, seems a little grandiose for this particular web locale, but we’ll go with it anyway.

Anyway, I wish I could claim that big life events from the past 6 months or so were being expressed in those chunks of 140 characters or less, but things have been pretty quiet. Oh, not to say *nothing* has happened, but nothing I’d bore the couple of people who might have forgotten to remove this blog’s feed from their RSS reader with.

Don’t despair, however: as is wont to happen, I occasionally have something to say, and I’ve got a few things running around in my head. I’ll do my best to expand those beyond 140 character chunks and attempt to make them resemble English (with real sentence structure, and everything!). At least to the point where both of you will reconsider removing that RSS feed…

Well, as you can see below, I tried an experiment where an extension would automatically post all of my tweets for the day in a blog post. As my tweeting has followed the pattern of my blog (although not to the same degree – I do tweet more often, I just turned this addon off a while ago, and I’m just now getting to blogging about it!), it just looks…odd. So I’m stopping that experiment. I did turn the sidebar widget back on, so at least there’s still *some* connection.

All you bloggers/tweeters out there who can post everything from significant events to the ingredients list of your last (current?) meal, my hat’s off to you. I’m just not that kind of person, I guess.

• Argh! Did a regular update on my Ubuntu desktop. The system froze, & after the reboot 1/2 the s/w doesn't work! Where's my Slackware disc?!? #
• Re the Ubuntu failure: it was a good experiment and I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did… #
