Two Slashes

A little over a year ago, I rang in 2010 with the bold claim that I was going to be blogging more…and then fell off the face of the earth entirely. This blog has sat here since that day, collecting both (e-)dust and a spam queue large enough to feed starving people in Africa for a similar duration (assuming it was the meat product and not just a few rows in a database).

I guarantee that it will be hard to believe after a year of inactivity, but I did have a lot of posts sitting in the pipeline waiting to be reviewed, edited, and posted. Heck, most of them are still sitting in either my drafts queue or a folder in my Dropbox, probably never to see the light of day.

The past year has definitely been eventful, even if I haven’t been documenting most of it for the world at large (outside of Twitter, that is). I’ve had a netbook stolen, celebrated a birthday, taken a few exams, and generally screwed around. Oh, and I might have had the tenacity to start a private URL shortener, too.

The notion of getting back to blogging has been sitting at the back of my head for some time, and recently I’ve felt a few nudges from all corners of the Internet to come back, clean things up, and return to posting my own brand of technological babbling and trickery. Of course, we’ll see whether that happens, but I have a good feeling about this time…

So, if you’ve held on to my RSS feed in hopes of seeing something sooner or later, thanks for sticking around. If you’re just joining the party, I apologize for the mess, but I hope you can hang around a few minutes and let me liven things up a bit.
