I have been running a blog right here for the final 20 years. Each Tuesday and Thursday, fairly constantly, for 20 years. However final 12 months, with out planning it, I received drained and stopped. I am undecided why. It didn’t correspond to any life occasion. Nothing fascinating or notable occurred. I simply stopped.
I discovered pleasure in tiktok and amassed a small group of like-minded followers there. I take pleasure in my YouTube too, and my weekly podcast goes robust with virtually 900 (!) episodes of interviews with fascinating folks. Me too not too long ago began posting on Mastodon (a Twitter various fediverse (federated universe)) that makes use of the ActivityPub Net Normal. I see that Mark Downie has additionally been looking ActivityPub for DasBlog (the weblog engine that powers this weblog) so I must spend a while with Mark quickly.
Being constant is a tough factor and I believe I did a very good job. I gave many talks over a few years about Private productiveness however I at all times talked about doing what “feeds your spirit.” For a minute, the weblog took a backseat, and that is okay. I stuffed that (free) time with household time, private initiatives, writing extra code, 3D printing, gaming, taekwondo, and plenty of different issues.
Sooner or later, I’ll proceed to jot down and share on varied platforms, however I’ll proceed begin right here as It is extremely essential to personal your phrases.. Preserve taking snapshots and backups of your keystrokes, as you by no means know when your chosen platform would possibly change or disappear fully.
I am nonetheless right here. I hope you’re too! I will see you quickly.
