So.

19 November 2003

I’ve been busy, basically. Applying for jobs, waiting to hear about said jobs, doing some covering work in the meantime to fill my coffers; that sort of thing. And it’s all quite tiring, getting back into the swing of half seven starts again, but I’ve got something approaching regular income now, and that leads to trips to Cambridge and Glasgow, and to buying an Xbox (and thus spending many a minute snowboarding and shooting Covenant scum), as well as being immersed in The Corrections, and going back to some studio work and…

it’s not quite all go, but there’s just been enough happening to stop me being able to blog, mainly because I don’t feel right blogging from work in the slightest, and my headspace has needed clearing. So this has been on pause. A new Omnivore from Luke went up yesterday, and very fine it is to.

I’ll hopefully find stuff to write about, or time to write it, soon. As it is, infovore sits here, begging for content, and I want to give it content… but I just can’t. I’m a bad father, really.

I’ll be back soon. I promise. I haven’t disappeared. I’ve just been a bit busy with work and stuff – yes, work. I’m still here, there’ll still be linkish goodness and maybe some diatribes as well, when I get around to it. Probably tomorrorw.

Slippage

06 November 2003

Sometimes, things just slip my mind. I’ve been awfully busy of late, though not in any serious way, just enough to make me stressful and fretty, but not enough to seriously consume my time.

So I haven’t been weblogging, or reading, or making music, or doing fun things. Job applications and other whatnot have been taking precedence in my head, and so the weblog is the first thing to go. I’m off to my alma mater for the weekend, to see old friends and celebrate things. I shall soon be able to catch up and write again. And do not fear; there will be a new Omnivore on Monday, this time from the marvellous MacDara.

Mo Morgan is publishing again, as he promised oh-so-long-ago. No, Hell hasn’t frozen over. Yes, he’s being pretty interesting, as usual. And he’s got a great tagline.

Also, folks: a new Omnivore today, about the delights and downsides of caffeine.

Got an N-Gage? You’ll be the one in the street side talkin’. (Amusing photos, though great deal of attempting to outgeek one another with the devices stuck to heads – props to the guys with the Vectrex, the Pong machine, no props to the Jaguar CD owner…)

toasty

Reading my NNW feeds this morning, I was greeted by the marvellous headline from BBC News: “McCartneys toast new baby“. Mmn, crispy. (It got changed later in the day – now that’s lousy microcontent for you).

Useful article on Writing for the Web by Diana Lott; basics that you observer but might not consider, especially in public site production.
