Other virtual pursuits
One of the problems with maintaining this blog is that I have so many other online things I like to do that taking time to write here every day robs time from these other pursuits. I try to take pictures of my real-world projects and post them either in my private galleries (not all are public), or on Flickr. When I post stuff on Flickr, I always try to add some text description to the images and they really become blog entries of their own. This is pretty time consuming, so I try to only post stuff there when I’m willing to take the time to comment on them. Not to mention taking time to contribute a couple stories on Non_Prophet while he was away. I also spend a goodly amount of time on the care and feeding of several other websites - each having it’s own unique focus. Some are sites I maintain for clients (mostly small business ventures), but they don’t require much time except once in a while.
The Celtic re-enactment site I maintain is a massive beast with over 85 members and I’ve been spending a lot more blogging time there lately. Also, I’ve been doing a lot of software development at home for my employer’s website as we’ve been planning to add some new features and haven’t decided which direction to go in yet. I haven’t made any new Youtube videos available in months, though I’m still getting lots of views and comments on them. I’d really like to commit to writing here again every day because keeping a journal is something I’ve been doing since 1980 and it’s rewarding in a narcissistic way. I’m just virtually out of time!
