Zombie Post
Don’t think that just because I’ve gone a ridiculously long time without posting that I have effectively killed the journal. On the contrary – topics for posting are quite formidable in number, I just haven’t had the time to properly type them out. You see, I’m a bit of a perfectionist, especially when it comes to things I write that essentially become public record, so at any given time I usually have half-a-dozen or so partially completed entries waiting in the wings.
As the summer dies down, I hope to purge myself of these so bear with me as I work to publish them in the coming weeks. Here is a short list of what to expect:
- An essay on popular misconceptions of the PC tech and the associates pros and cons that come with them.
- A roundup of book reviews for what I’ve been reading this summer.
- Details on the new house, and possibly pictures (if you think I neglect this site, just wait till you see what my house looks like).
- Updates on some projects of mine, including the much-discussed tech frat and a possible presentation for next year’s Notacon.
- Musings on LAN parties and their cultural relevance (at least to me). Certain to include nostalgic rambling that may also evoke similar responses in other dullards.
So there you have it. If you’re still reading this, do be so kind as to post a reply – I like to occasionally poll to see who still hasn’t given up on reading this, and how often they check back (usually approximated by length of time between posting and response).
And because I’ve had these comments sticking out in my inbox for so long, let me get a few quick personal replies out in the open:
Joe: [Humorous expounding on the buying of houses with allusion to house-purchasing in the works] – Did you ever buy that house? And how do you like being clean-shaven?
Paul: ‘Like the ideas and congrats on the house! The hacker space thing sounds cool…. I wish I had more time to work on stuff. By the time I get home from work I’m usually to exhausted to work on fun stuff.‘ – I can relate – I spend much of my 9-5 life at work, and post-5PM life schooling in one form or another. This has stilted much of my progress with pet projects, but I haven’t lost any fervor for them. I just need to hope the associated parties interested don’t lost their passion in the meantime. How’s Royal Oak treating you?
Matt: ‘I’d like to offer a hand in getting the technical organization started. I don’t think I can lead the project (I have no idea what that would entail, but it’s probably more than I could handle), but I would definitely love to pitch in however I can. If you get enough other volunteers to get this off the ground, send me an e-mail at [e-mail]‘ – Thanks for keeping up to date on this. I’m glad you’re still interested, but at this time, leadership is precisely the lacking element in this project. Rest assured, I should have time to assume all those responsibilities myself, but it’ll likely not be till summer 2010. In the meantime, keep in touch, keep checking back, and don’t stop thinking about what you could do if…
To be continued…
