I have been jotting things down on the web for years but only a small fraction of it is ever allowed to hit a search engine. Name a place that has some form of restricted access journaling/blogging, and I probably have an account there.

I write something every single day. Most of it is lost to the paper shredder and entirely too much is lost from me using an old computer and programs that don’t autosave.  I tend to hate what I write anyway, so these things don’t bother me.  Whatever bits that survive are fairly hidden anyway, so why fuss about the quality?

I am rather terrified of some things making it to a front page somewhere and people freaking out reading it.  I know this is probably not uncommon, many people deal with this and still face their fears regardless. I think that it is time to just grin and bear it.

Hopefully it gets really interesting.

I keep reading and hearing about the Habari blog platform. Since I was already playing around with this site anyway, I figured its a good time to investigate. Even though I am saving the majority of the research until the weekend, I am still in the process of shuffling things around. So we’ll just have to see what happens.

EDIT: This looks good on Habari, and while I did enjoy the platform I am not quite ready to use it full time. I might be back when the blogging system has passed 1.0 version.

The problem with this ideal situation is that the good stuff finally returned to the small screen.
I cannot lie and say I will not be distracted by the television in these coming months, but I hope to get a bit more accomplished. Priorities will include finishing this site and getting the comic situated. If only I could pry myself away from Friendfeed long enough to achieve this.
