The Reports of My Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
Well, here I am again, typing into this <textarea>, ready to shout a loud “Hello, Internet, remember me?” and listen for the responding echo.
If it was yesterday I would say that I last posted on this blog three months ago. I guess that makes yesterday my (rather accurately put) three-month slackiversarry. It’s a shame I didn’t celebrate; I could have had cake, or sponsored a parade or something
Oh wait.
Three months since I last posted something?! That’s a bad thing!
But not as bad as you might think. I mean, in the time you would have wasted reading my blog, you probably now have done a myriad of more interesting and exciting things, like catching up on your taxes, saving buildings from burning babies, commiting yourself to the ideals of modern Astronomical research, or maybe even participating in a ’round-the-block-dash while carrying a watermelon over your head. The possibilities are endless, really, and I’m sure my former readers have made the transition from feeling bitterly bereaved and betrayed by my lack of posting, to blissfull, euphoric sociological progress quite gracefully.
However, for those of you who feel emotionally scarred by my lack of activity on the blog, you may rest assured that your chronic depression is quickly coming to an end. Your tear-stained pillowcases can now be conveniently sent off to the cleaners. You’re broken hearts can be mended. You can now pick up the pieces of your life again, and live with confidence that Andrew Has Posted Something. Ahh, the relief! Life is sweet again!
So now that we have that pressing matter cleared up, the next thing to address is the big question. The question which has been filling your minds with curiosity, and almost inexorable anxiety…
Just what have I been doing lately?
- I worked on, and am still working on Viddler. It should hopefully launch this month!
- I can now ride the unicycle, it’s a blast. I have a pretty sturdy 20″, but I want to upgrade to a 24″ sometime.
- Oh, I worked on Viddler.
- I visited a Limelight data center here in Phoenix.
- I decided that Mister Rogers was not an alien spy from Pluto after all (give me a break, though, that pamphlet they handed out was convincing, darn it!)
- I’m getting my hopes up about CSS3.
- My computer got a brand new hard drive today! His other two are experiencing… rather disconcerting technical problems (read: hard drive failure).
- I would gladly give my left ventricle for a 24-inch iMac.
- I’ve been experimenting on and off with Ruby. I love it.
- That’s basically it (I’m sure my regular readers aware that most of my general activity is not disclosable, as doing so would jeopardize national security).
Yep. That’s, um, all I have to say. Don’t have more words for tonight. Be nice and leave me a comment, if you would…
