Blog Another Day

Goodbye AbbeNormal the WebLog, after more than two years. In the end, it's nothing against WebLogs, i just haven't found a way to blog and wiki well at the same time, and i miss wikiing. WikiWiki is a different way of thinking, slower, generally less concerned about what happened yesterday, and with blogging it's too easy for me to let myself get dragged into trying to be part of the RecentChanges of the web. Who wants to be popular?

I'll be reading and writing here in AbbeNormal, which has succeeded as a WikiWiki to some extent. I've written and collected some things i can refer to in passing (SriLanka, LakeVostok, ScienceFiction, TheFirstSmiley, actually, every link in this post) and you can get something like my perspective on all of them just by clicking. I'll also be in the new NcddWiki (once it's up), and in MeatballWiki, the OriginalWiki and elsewhere. I'll still post a bit on MacOsx and Apple on GettingOsxGoing, and if i feel an unstoppable urge to blog otherwise, on ObBlog. Maybe i'll just start a diary like Meatball:SunirShah , who knows. In any case i'll be trimming my list of weblog reading as much as i can bear. i don't know about NewYearsResolutions?, but i'm definitely wanting more focus, to be doing things that i can believe will make a difference.

If you're not used to wikis, remember that no page is really the FrontPage. That said, you could take a look at FindPage and navigate from there, or if you must see the latest, see RecentChanges (wiki's traditional weblog-like page). Create your own HomePage here or in any wiki with links to the pages you find interesting and watch them change over time. Hm. Maybe i'll start an occasional blog on wikiing to help the more linearly-inclined folks get a grasp of it. I could stop writing on-line any time. No, really ;-).

I'm leaving the SanFranciscoBayArea to go back to SriLanka soon. Naturally i'll still be on the Internet as much as possible, just like last year. I'll be at MacWorld Expo.

There's so much i want to say. I leave you with these words -- Listen! Hope! Imagine! Do! Learn! And don't forget to just be there. See you in the intertwingularity...
