Hi folks
In a move that may be known in years to come as “pulling a _why”, I’ve decided to cut back my online presence.. including this blog. The reasons are manifold, but chiefly:
- I want to concentrate on a handful of projects,
- there’s a distinct lack of interest (both mine and the general community) in both this blog and my projects,
- it’s unfair to foist half-baked ideas on the world, only to abandon them when something shiny and new comes along.
Essentially I just feel a need to put my energies into those projects that I have a chance of actually completing – or at least bringing out into public reasonably well formed. There’s no sadness in this – more a welcome sense of relief in acknowledging that I’ve very limited resources available and I’d better make the most of them.
My github projects will be mothballed tonight. Various other bits and pieces will be tidied up over the next few days. To people who’ve contributed to the blog, either through comments or suggesting ideas: thanks, you’ve been truly grouse. And to people who’ve just read the odd article, thank you too. It’s been nice to see references to some of my stuff put up on other more well read (and more deserving to be read) blogs. This blog will stay so people’s links don’t die, but I don’t think I’ll be updating it for a while – if ever. But hey, it’s been an interesting experience.
Adios amigos
Glad to know the site is going to remain in existence, if inactive. I’d visit more often if I could fins the RSS feed, but every so often I remember it while browsing my bookmarks and pop in tot see what FO is up to.
One handy thing about the ‘net is that you’re not crowding out others just by being inactive. Not need to shit or get off the pot when there are always more pots.
