Unfinished Thoughts
It probably seems like I've been quiet for a while now, when actually I've been up to a whole lot. What's been happening is that I've been struggling with an impedance mismatch between my mode of content creation (sporadic, often with many projects worked in parallel in varying states of completion) and a blog's mode of content distribution (linear, discrete posts that are "finished" once they are posted, more or less).
This has led to me maintaining a blog for years that I don't update all that often. Alongside the blog, in a slew of private files, I maintain the current state of all my work and thoughts. This struck me as perhaps the "most pessimum" (to quote Mel), so I've resurrected/updated an old site I made years ago over at the public access unix system sdf.org (for you Robotech fans, yes, that stands for "Super Dimensional Fortress"…it's that cool). I host a wiki there, which I think offers a mechanism more conducive to my work flow and allowing me to make more of what I do public as I do it.
It's sort of an experiment at the moment, but it might eventually take over killring.org, etherplex.org or a subdomain of either, if it ends up working out. One huge benefit for me is that I can access the content of the Oddmuse wiki that runs the site seamlessly from my editor of choice and never have to format my posts in a browser, which I sort of hate doing.
All in all, it should lead to a more interactive and oft-updated site. Which might be good or bad, depending on your perspective. =)
