I’ve been busy with new contracts and other commitments over the past couple of weeks, and my blogging has suffered. It’s a common side-effect of business and a mismanagement of proprieties.
Most people put blogging quite low down the list of priorities when they come up against their own personal busy season, but in the same way that you should never stop chasing new business when you’re already stacked, you shouldn’t stop blogging when you’ve got ideas in your head, just because you haven’t made the time to write.
Of course, that assumes you’re blossoming with ideas and viewpoints. What do you do when you’ve got nothing to write about? Should you blog “for the sake of it” or only when you have an original, unprompted thought? Do they have to be mutually exclusive?
That’s enough questions.
So, in the absence of another polemical argument, I thought I’d give you a heads-up as to what’s going on in Bluemilokshakeland.
Byron, my fancy content management framework is getting an overhaul to make it more scalable and increase its usability for developers. It’s already very efficient but as a developer tool it’s lacking any form of intuitive logic.
I’m currently doing some work in Henley in Arden (in the Midlands, on the way to Stratford, UK) and sharing social marketing links and ideas, which has lead me to think about getting a page of links setup on bluemilkshake.co.uk, or working with my del.icio.us list to provide a comprehensive list of my recommended reads.
Also got lots of projects on, and am thinking of getting a dedicated Linux box for all my various WordPress sites, and to host any new Ruby on Rails projects as and when they come about.
So that’s me. Thanks for your patience and I hope to be back and as divisive as ever very soon!
