ANOTHER DAY'S HUMDRUM REPORT

I thought I needed a day off from the computer yesterday so instead of doing something completely different what did I choose? To go to the Mac Expo at Olympia and look at more computer stuff. When you're hooked you're hooked. I haven't been to one of these for quite a while so my excuse was that I might learn something useful. I had completely forgotten how to get to Olympia which - for the benefit of those who don't live here - is a vast exhibition hall located somewhere in the outer Hebrides, not far from an area of West London known as Earl's Court, populated almost entirely by Australians, so I'm told. As far as I'm concerned Olympia might as well be in Australia because to get there from where I live takes almost as long as the journey to the land of Oz.

HUM DRUMMING

The main reason I'm not blogging much is because, as you know, I'm all taken up with the work on the Gd book. But that's not the only reason. There's also the reluctance to post about trivia - or at least what seems like trivia to me but, in the right hands, can become wonderful writing. There are bloggers who can write about a humdrum day and make it so enjoyable that you're leaving a comment before you've read the last line and sixty other people are doing likewise. I admire these bloggers and envy them because I can't do it. Just as I have no small talk in social situations - I don't mean "small talk" in a pejorative sense, as though "big talk" is all that matters - no, I am in awe of people who can do it. They always have a ready supply of things to say about absolutely anything whereas I have a very limited number of subjects I can expound on.

BLOGGING LESS OFTEN FOR A GOOD CAUSE

The bad thing about blogging less often is that your stats go waaaaay down and you're about the only visitor to your blog. The good thing is that you stop checking your stats, since there's nothing to see, and then you stop caring about stats altogether. But the best thing is that you get a lot more work done on whatever it is you needed to get on with that was interrupted by blogging more often.
