Resurrection
And lo, on the third day didst some of the trolleys rise up from their graves and trundle away.
Tidying up
Eight years since I last posted on this blog, that I'd almost forgotten existed. Time to perform some digital necromancy, and see if I can resurrect this thing before Blogger gets turned off. More than half the posts on here were done via Posterous - a service that no longer exists, so the posts themselves make little sense any more (no images if they were hosted on posterous, links that go nowhere). From what I remember, Posterous' big selling point was being able to send blog posts via email and have it do all the formatting and presentation for you. It would also then syndicate out that post to whatever other sources you wanted - like Blogger, for instance, or Facebook. They got into the blogging business just as everyone moved onto social media, and they never worked out how to make any money. I'll go through and delete all the useless posts over the next few days. So many online services are dead and gone (or dying), that at the time I thought were great. Remembe...
Disturbing.
ReplyDeleteAre you entering that short story competition? I've read some of your early blog posts and they were excellent, surprisingly. I never had you down as a frustrated author. Frustrated alcoholic, frustrated millionaire, etc. certainly..
I think there's only about a week or so until the closing date. In that week or so I have to find the time to procrastinate over filling in my tax return (the whole country has to fill in a tax return over here, all at the same time - a ridiculous system), so I won't have any free time to procrastinate over writing a short story.
ReplyDeleteI have a long list of things to not get around to doing. It's very tiring maintaining it.
Oh, and also: aw, shucks, I ain't not nearly too good at writing the purdy words.
