So why the paucity of updates? Why the off-the-cuff, commentary-free nuggets that I’ve been feeding you lately? There’s a couple of reasons, none of them serious. Firstly, the community project I’ve been working on at work went into its first stage of testing at the end of last week, which meant everything got a bit hectic. Hopefully I’ll be able to show some of it to the outside world in the coming weeks, but in the meantime it’s nose/grindstone time.
I thought I’d be more creative on the weekend but it turned out that my thinking-coherently gland, having been radically over-stimulated last week, kind of went into shock. So I spent most of the weekend watching The West Wing, while sorting through papers and bills (total cheques written out – £2001.94). My beautiful computer stayed mostly quiet in the corner of the room.
There are other reasons. Other things to do. I’m supposed to be writing a piece on the ways in which mainstream media interacts with weblogs. I’m supposed to be talking to Cal and Denise about (at least) two different spare-time-projects. And I’m supposed to be thinking of what I can do to celebrate this weblog’s third birthday, which is in a little over two weeks. It’s all very exciting, but my tiny brain hurts…
