It would seem I couldn’t stay away for more than 10 months or so. I still don’t think these journals are entirely worth the investment in terms of time, but in the end I felt like I was missing out on something. Originally I thought that I could just walk away and never look back. That my motives for writing and keeping up to date with the news would fade over time and that it would make me more at peace. Guess what … it didn’t. In the end it just kept building up inside and I noticed that I never really could let go, as I had intended. The expression just took on new forms.

So I’ll try a more laid-back approach this time around and try to harness the best of both worlds, offering a more selective and sparse commentary.

To some degree I suppose I also missed the meticulous tinkering of graphic design and web programming.

As far as the personal journal is concerned I’ll be starting by filling in the gaps of last year, retroactively posting some of the highlights.

As far as the site goes I have moved all the Wordpress blogs to the same server, running several blogs off of the same directory using distinct database table prefixes. Also known as a virtual multiblog. Far superior to the normal multi-user versions of Wordpress and with the added benefits that you still have your databases intact and free of any hacks and fixes. Other than that I have finally gotten accounts with some of the more obvious web 2.0 sites, like twitter, picasa etc and I am currently evaluating how to best integrate that functionality.
